Igus The Drylin-Q 20 is expanding its product range of lubrication-free anti-rotation locks linear guides, These Square guide self-supporting absorbs forces of up to 10 Nm from all directions. The bearing play of the guide carriage can be adjusted manually. In addition, a hollow profile offers space for supply lines. The square guide system with a profile edge length of 20 mm offers a lot more in addition to the freedom from lubrication and maintenance.
Square guide for self-supporting solutions
The Dryline Q 20 is an extension of the already introduced Drylin Q 10 linear guide for small loads. The new size is suitable for all self-supporting solutions. Due to the square profile, Drylin-Q 20 is completely twist-proof. This linear guide can support loads and moments of up to 10 Nm in all directions.
Previous anti-twist, self-supporting linear guides Until now, the plastics specialist has implemented either round guides guided by two parallel shafts or a classic rail guide that is mostly not self-supporting. This gap is now closed by the Drylin-Q 20 square guide, which is available as a system.
Continuously adjust the bearing play manually
The linear technology System construction kit In addition to the adjustable guide carriage, it consists of hard-anodized square guide profiles made of aluminum. The maximum length of the guides is 4 m. In addition to the functional reliability on the Igus profile, the guide carriage can be combined with all 20/20 aluminum construction systems. That is why Igus also offers the Drylin-Q 20 slide as a single guide. If there are differences in the tolerances, these can easily be remedied, as the bearing play can be manually adjusted in all directions with an Allen key.
On each side of the guide carriage are made up to two grooves. In connection with slot nuts, this allows applications to be attached to the slide very easily in all directions. In addition, a simple manual clamping, in which a clamping lever presses on the sliding elements, is being planned.
Supply lines through the guide
The square Hollow profile offers space for supply lines such as compressed air, electricity or liquids. This is ideal for use in confined spaces, for example in laboratory equipment such as pipettors or small gripper units. This saves installation space for laying cables. This is why the space-saving, dry-running linear sliding system Drylin-Q 20 is also popular in the Medical Technology employed.
