Square Rails reduce friction in linear guide system.

Designed for use in DryLinÃ-® W modular linear guide system, DryLinÃ-® WQ square rails reduce friction and ensure that loads are evenly distributed. In applications where rail does not travel across level plane, plastic liner, made with engineered polymer iglideÃ-® J200, can be adapted to float and realign based on differentiating heights. Available in 20 and 6 mm sizes, products are...

Flexible Servo Cables deliver power for factory automation.

Oil- and UV-resistant, flame-retardant ChainflexÃ-® CF21 and CF27 perform under long or short travel conditions and at small bend radius of 7.5 times OD of cable. Designed for installation in Energy ChainÃ-® cable carriers, products withstand stress of tight bending radii and moving applications. CF21 and CF27, with outer jackets of PVC and polyurethane, respectively, feature construction...

Linear Bearings and Shafting resist rust and contamination.

DryLin R plastic linear bearings consist of iglideÃ-® J polymer material that requires no lubrication or maintenance. Bearings are dimensionally interchangeable with standard, re-circulating ball bearings. DryLin S anodized aluminum shafting can be customized with flats, grooves, through-holes, or other modifications. Products suit extreme dirt conditions, underwater, food, and wash down...

Machinery & Machining Tools

Spindle Lift Tables integrate into linear guide systems.

DryLin SLW is a flat linear table with spindle drive that delivers high torsional strength at just over 1 1/8 in. high. DryLin HTSP is a plastic spindle lift table with DryLin R linear bearings. Equipped with plastic crossbars and slides, unit is corrosion- and lubrication-free. Stroke is adjustable, either manually or by servo motor. Both tables are suited for use in packaging and textile...

Plastic ESD Cable Chains deliver quiet operation.

Featuring modular design, System E6 cable carriers with ESD Energy ChainsÃ-® are suited for applications requiring vibration-free operation. They meet requirements of SEMI E78-0998 international materials and maintenance resource for applications in critical environments, such as semiconductor and electronic production. Providing permanent conductivity, system uses flexible tab to secure...

Cable Carrier enables long travels without guide troughs.

AUTO-GLIDE System is equipped with positioning guide and floor bumpers to keep Energy ChainÃ-® in line and prevent top of chain from derailing. Ribs along inner radius of carrier interlock to create channels for carrier to glide along. With AUTO-GLIDE, Energy Chains can achieve speeds up to 16 fps and maintain travel lengths up to 328 ft without guide trough. System is suited for long-travel...

Data Cables withstand motion of automated machinery.

ChainflexÃ-® continuous-flex data cables provide low capacitance and controlled impedance for installation in automated networks. Products employ conductor bundling; tight pitch, core, and shield; and abrasion-resistant jackets, enabling them to withstand continuous cycles at tight bending radii. Chainflex CFLG fiber optic and CFLK polymer fiber optic cables offer data and signal transmission...

Plastic Bearings replace bronze bearings.

Requiring no lubrication, iglideÃ-® R oil-free, corrosion-resistant bearings provide maintenance-free alternative to oil-dependent sintered bearings. Plastic construction delivers vibration dampening and supports rotary, oscillating, or linear movement. At start-up, bearings transfer material to shaft and coat it with low-friction material. Products are quiet, environmentally safe, and...

Plastic Bearings suit underwater applications.

Designed for wet environments and temperatures from -40 to 392-°F, iglide-® H370 plastic plain bearings are suited for bottle-filling equipment, marine applications, dishwashers or applications requiring frequent wash downs. They have moisture absorption rating of 0.0% and are resistant to dirt and dust. Products require no lubrication, are UV-resistant, and will not corrode.
