To be able to move linear bearings on shafts with high precision, igus has developed the W360CM series. The new polymer linear bearings consist of an aluminum housing and a thin liner to ensure smooth and quiet operation combined with high rigidity.

The bearings have hardly any clearance and allow precise movements. Thanks to the use of iglidur W360 high-performance polymers, the user does not need external lubrication. The dimensions of the new series match metallic ball bushings, so that they can be easily converted 1:1.

Linear guides are used wherever goods or objects need to be moved from A to B, or equipment or Source: igusmachines need to be adjusted. Precision often plays a major role for users, for example in microscope tables or in X-ray equipment, and is delivered with the new linear plain bearing series. W360CM ensures the highest precision and rigidity in drylin R shaft guides.

The long-lasting sliding elements of the bearings are characterized by a thin wall thickness and high strength. and are ideal for an operating temperature range of 0° C to -50° C. Thin wall thickness and higher material strength ensure a low bearing clearance at the operating point due to reduced elasticity.

The W360CM linear bearings can be easily mounted in all drylin housings as well as in all standard receptacles for linear ball bushings. As the liners are pressed into the housing until a pre-loaded snap hook is inserted into a groove, the films are secured against displacement even under high loads and temperatures.
