igus DryLin SLN-27 miniature linear axis

The DryLin SLN-27 miniature linear axis from igus with polymer bearings and an optional NEMA 11 certified motor was developed specifically for confined spaces and offers design flexibility for positioning small loads.

The DryLin SLN-27 miniature linear axis is based on the DryLin N27 linear guide system. The linear rail of both the N27 and SLN-27 is made of durable anodised aluminium. The plastic carriage has high wear resistance and is maintenance-free, self-lubricating and corrosion resistant, providing a ‘fit and forget’ solution.

With compact dimensions of 22 mm high by 28 mm wide, the SLN-27 is suitable for low-load sensor adjustments and feed mechanisms, as well as lightweight handling tasks such as those found in laboratory equipment and camera inspection machinery.

The carriage is driven by a 5 mm trapezoidal or high-helix thread lead screw and is available in a range of pitches from 0.8 to 5 mm.

The lead screw nuts are made of igus iglide polymers, which are optimised for lubricant-free operation over the entire stroke length, which can be a maximum of 250 mm.

The compact SLN-27 can be bought as a complete system with a NEMA 11 stepper motor. For customers that already have a stepper motor, igus offers a ‘quick-fit’ aluminium spacer and motor flange connection to fit the NEMA 11 motor.
