drylin® SLW linear unit with lead screw drive

Very robust, flat & bend resistant

Extremely torsionally rigid aluminium double-shaft profiles and a large number of linear carriage versions based on the drylin W linear system characterise the drylin SLW linear unit with lead screw drive. In addition to the low-profile linear rails, high, very tough linear rails are also available for the SLW linear modules. The SLW linear unit with lead screw drive is particularly suitable for manual format adjustment as well as for a motorised option for electrical adjustment.



The advantages of the SLW series at a glance:

  • Drive: Trapezoidal or high helix lead screw
  • Torsion-resistant double shaft systems
  • Many carriage and rail options
  • Suitable for manual and motor-operated adjustments

drylin SLW linear units in use


Testing the advantages of SLW linear modules

igus SLW linear units with lead screw drive are based on the drylin W linear modular system as well as on maintenance-free and self-lubricating dry-tech high-performance polymers. The lubrication is incorporated into the bearing material, rendering the linear axes and linear module suitable for dry-operating conditions, i.e. they are maintenance-free for their entire service life. Ready-to-install linear units are available in 2-4 days. See for yourself, ask for a free sample from us.
