Igus smarter sliding film replacement solution: drylin W replacement slider

With a new sliding membrane replacement solution (a new type of lubrication-free bearing), the service life of drylin linear guides can be extended indefinitely.

Sports plastics experts igus uses a sliding membrane made of high-performance engineering plastics to achieve silent and precise sliding of the igus linear guide. In order to easily replace bearings under extremely harsh conditions, igus has now developed a new replacement bearing. Unlocking the bearing to be replaced, pushing it out and replacing it with a new one, the principle of the drylin W replaceable linear plain bearing is as simple as that. With the free installation tool, the bearing slip film can be replaced directly on the linear guide within seconds. This has reduced the time and economic costs of maintenance work.


Replace the new bearing in a few seconds: simply unscrew the bearing slide film to be replaced, push it out with the mounting tool, and push in the new sliding film.

In the past, when the lubrication-free bearing sliding film on the guide device was to be replaced due to extremely rough sand or glass dust, the entire linear slider must be pushed out from the guide rail. This means a large amount of assembly work and downtime for linear drive mechanisms with synchronous belt drives or multi-axis linear platforms. To this end, igus has developed a durable replacement bearing slide film for its drylin W linear guide for direct and easy sliding film replacement on linear guides. As in the Formula One service station, bearings can be replaced quickly and easily, minimizing downtime. In this way, bearings, linear guides or linear platforms can continue to be used in a matter of seconds. Fast and safe bearing slip film replacement is achieved with a single, free, practical tool.
Simple and non-destructive bearing sliding film replacement solution
The side cover of the slider on the linear guide can be easily removed with a single screwdriver. With the free tool provided by igus (users can also print in 3D), the sliding film can be pushed out of the slider and removed directly from the rail. A new bearing sliding film made of a wear-resistant high-performance plastic iglidur J200 is then clamped onto the rail and positioned in the slider by the mounting tool. Then replace the side cover back on the slider to complete the replacement of the bearing. The advantage of this is that the rails are not damaged and can be replaced directly on the guide. Since the sliding film is fixed in the slider, the pin is located in the middle of the side cover and can be replaced with a screwdriver. Therefore, igus uses special grooves on the new sliding film and slider. The new replacement bearings are currently available for retrofitting all existing drylin W linear systems up to size 10, such as linear guide slides, linear drive mechanisms and linear robots. Other sizes are also planned.
