drylin® SLW linear unit with lead screw drive

Very robust, flat & bend resistant

The drylin SLW linear unit with lead screw drive is characterised by extremely torsion-resistant aluminium double-shaft profiles and a wide range of carriage versions based on the drylin W linear system. In addition to the flat linear rails, high, very robust linear rails are also available for the SLW linear modules. The SLW linear unit with lead screw drive is very suitable for manual format adjustment as well as with a motor for electrical adjustment.

The advantages of the SLW series at a glance:

  • Drive: trapezoidal or high helix thread
  • Torsion-resistant double shaft profiles
  • Many carriage and rail versions
  • Suitable for manual and motorised adjustment
