DryLin® T - Load / Speed Capacity
DryLin ® T Linear Guide Systems can hold high static
loads because of large surface areas. The maximum load
1,000
in the y-direction is higher than in the z-direction, since
the bearing surface is doubled in the y-direction. With a
low rate of inertia, high accelerations and short term
extreme speeds up to 49 ft/s (15 m/s) are possible.

Eccentric Forces
The 2 : 1 Rule
When using linear plain bearings it is important to ensure that the acting forces
follow the 2:1 Rule (see drawing). If either the load or the drive force (F) is
greater than twice the bearing length (1X), then a binding or interrupted motion
may occur.
If the location of the drive force or load cannot be changed, simply increase
the distance between the bearings, or create a counterbalance to move the
center-of-gravity back within the 2 to 1 ratio.

Adjusting and Installation
Adjusting the clearance: DryLin® T

DryLin® T Linear
Guide Systems
DryLin® T is delivered ready for installation. Clearance of the carriage

is adjusted at the factory. The preadjustment is determined by the
acting forces on each individual system. If necessary, clearance of
the DryLin® T linear guide system can be readjusted. This should al-
ways take place when there is no load on the carriage.

1 After removing the protective cover, loosen the locknuts Width
across flats:
• SW 5 for TW-01-15 and TW-01-20
lateral guide:
– less clearance
• SW 7 for TW-01-25 and TW-01-30
2 + more clearance
Telephone 1-800-521-2747
1-401-438-7270
2 Adjust the bearing clearance for the 3 guide points with an

Allen key – Allen key size:
• 1.5 mm for TW-01-15 and TW-01-20
• 2.0 mm for TW-01-25 and TW-01-30
3 Check the clearance of the carriage after adjusting the 3 levels.

If it is sufficient, tighten the locknuts and put on the cover.

vertical guide left
4 There is a danger that excessive reduction of the clearances

can seize the sliding pads and that the clearance cannot be
reset simply by loosening the adjustment screws. The sliding
pads are then released by pressing the reset button on the
opposite side. Press hard against the readjusting spring. You

must have already loosened the respective adjustment screws.

Use the correct size pin for this purpose:
• 2.5 mm for TW-01-20 and TW-01-15 vertical guide right
• 3.0 mm for TW-01-25 and TW-01-30
Video instructions available at www.igus.com
Adjusting the clearance: DryLin® T

Automatic
The DryLin® T Automatic series offers you an automatic adjustment
of the clearance. A readjustment can take place automatically in steps
of 0.1 mm. Springs tighten the regulating wedge immediately as soon
1
as the clearance is bigger than 0.1 mm and the system is unloaded.
1 The system will be delivered with 3 keys which are already

installed, and are necessary for mounting the carriage onto the
locked
rail. In case these keys are removed they need to be refitted

into the openings and turned clockwise 90°. 2
2 After the carriage is on the rail, remove the keys by turning
them anticlockwise 90° and pull out. The clearance will then be
adjusted automatically.
3 You can remove the carriage at any time. In order to do so,

simply plug the keys back into the carriage (see step 1).

System Design
Example of DryLin® T Calculation
DryLin® T Linear
Guide Systems
For the exact calculation of the Linear Guide System it is essential to find out whether the position of the forces is within the allowable
limits, and if the gliding element where the highest forces occur is not overloaded. The calculation of the necessary driving force and the
maximum speed allowed is important. Each mounting version requires a different formula for calculation. Factors concerning shocks and
acceleration forces are not included in the calculation, therefore the maximum load and allowable load must be monitored.
Variables in the Calculation: Coefficients:
Fa : Drive Force (lbs)
1 Rail 1 Rail 2 Rails
Fs : Applied Mass Force (lbs)
1 Carriage 2 Carriages 3 - 4 Carriages
Fy, Fz : Bearing Load (lbs)

ay, az : Distance of the drive force in y or z direction (mm)
K4 sx / Lx sx / Wx sx / Wx
wx : Distance between carriages on a rail (mm)
K5 sz / Lx sz / Wx sz / Wx
LX : Constant from table (mm)
K6 (sy+Y0)/ Zm (sy+Y0)/ Zm (sy+Y0)/ b
Zm : Constant from table (mm)
K7 sz / Zm sz / Zm (sz / b)-0.5
Y0 : Constant from table (mm)
