drylin® W exchange bearing now available in stainless steel

Fast bearing change in extreme environments
In innumerable tests in the igus® test laboratory, igus® develops and tests materials for drylin® linear technology. Always with the aim of long durability, as low as possible wear rates and a predictable service life. But the question: "What happens if a bearing has to be changed?"is gaining increasingly in importance.

Fast bearing change without disassembly
Minimised downtime
Complete re-use of all components
Simple spare parts management

This is exactly what the drylin® W exchange bearing now also enables for stainless steel linear guides or drive units. Open housing at the side, change bearing, close and you are finished. The system is "new" and ready to use again in a very short time Whether chemical, temperature-related or food-related requirements are concerned, linear liners appropriate for every environment are available. And with a weight of 5 grams, spare parts handling is extremely simple.

Carpentry project Cologne Chamber of Trade

igus® helps prospective carpenters with their project

As part of a course in machinery at the Cologne Chamber of Trade, prospective carpenters combined Scandinavian looks with industrial design. The results of this project are a pull-out bedside table and a coffee table with rotating drawer and pull-out opening. The pieces of furniture are not only beautiful to look at, but have a certain quality.
