Ultra-compact toothed belt

Unit is easy to assemble within minutes or can be ordered and delivered as an assembled system ready for connection

igus has introduced a compact toothed belt axis based on its flat drylin N linear system. 

The drylin ZLN-40 is 27mm high and 40mm wide and can be delivered with a stroke length of up to 750mm.

The modular unit is easy to assemble within minutes or can be ordered and delivered as an assembled system ready for connection.

When equipped with an igus motor and dryve controller, it can handle loads of up to 20N and has a speed ratio of 60mm per revolution.

The lightweight toothed belt is supported on ball-bearings, which enable high speed motion. 

By using iglidur polymers in the guide carriage, the linear axis runs lubrication-free and thus maintenance-free. In addition, moisture, dirt and dust are also not a problem for the drylin ZLN-40.
