Slide Shafts,Support Rail Units,Flanged Linear Bearing-Reduce Friction in Machine Guard Doors

New hybrid linear bearing combines rolling and sliding

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The word 'hybrid' is used in engineering to describe a system where two Slide Shafts technologies are combined together. igus® has now achieved this with a completely new type of cost-effective hybrid linear Support Rail Units bearing that both rolls and slides.

The new hybrid bearing, Flanged Linear Bearing DryLin® WJRM, was developed with the goal of reducing driving force, especially in applications involving the manual adjustment of machine-guard doors, partitions and adjustable locks, or for light handling tasks. For this purpose, igus took the advantages unique to sliding and rolling movements and combined them.
