drylin® T - Design rules

Design tips

The compensation of parallelism errors between mounted rails is possible with a fixed/floating bearing in the range up to maximum 0.5 mm. During installation, take care that the floating bearing has the same clearance on both sides.

In the adjoining designs you can see the version of the fixed/floating bearing system recommended by us.

The mounting surfaces of the rails and carriages should possess a good evenness (e.g. machined surface) to prevent twisting in the system. Small unevennesses in the mounting surfaces can be individually compensated up to a certain measurement (0.5 mm) by a greater clearance adjustment. The clearance adjustment is possible only in unloaded state.

If you have any questions on design and/or assembly, please make use of our applications consultancy.

Floating bearing for guide system

For application with two parallel guide systems, one side must be designed as floating bearing. There is a suitable fixed-/floating-bearing solution for every installation location, whether it be horizontal, vertical or lateral. This installation method prevents a sluggishness and/or a jamming of the guide with parallelism deviations between the guides. The floating bearing can be implemented by a controlled extension of the clearance in the direction of the estimated parallelism error. Thus an additional degree of freedom arises on one side.

During installation, take care that the floating bearing has the same clearance on both sides. You can see the version of the fixed/floating bearing system recommended by us in the designs given in the individual sections of the systems. The mounting surfaces of the rails and carriages should possess a good evenness (e.g. machined surface) to prevent twisting in the system. Smaller unevennesses in the mounting surfaces can be compensated up to a certain measurement by the floating bearing.

Eccentric forces

For the successful use of maintenance-free drylin® linear bearings, it is necessary to follow certain recommendations: If the distance between the driving force and the fixed bearing is more than double the bearing clearance (2:1 rule), a static coefficient of friction of 0.25 can theoretically result in the seizure of the guide.

This principle applies regardless of the load or drive force. It is a product of friction and is always related to the fixed bearing. The greater the distance between the drive and the guide bearing, the higher the degree of wear and required drive force.

Failure to observe the 2:1 rule during the use of linear slide bearings can result in uneven motion or even system blockage. Such situations can often be remedied with relatively simple modifications.
