Flat corrosion-resistant stainless steel toothed belt axis
Hygienic and robust with low installation height
The drylin® toothed belt axis series is extended by a new modular version for installation size 10. The flat linear axis ZLW-10120 with 120mm width is completely made of stainless steel and has an installation height of only 40mm. Based on the drylin® W stainless steel profile guide, the linear carriage is driven by a neoprene toothed belt and is ready-to-connect to drylin® E stepper, DC and EC/BLDC motors.
The linear axis is corrosion-free and particularly suitable for contact with water and media and in environments requiring intensive cleaning. The robust construction with lubrication-free drylin® W linear plain bearings ensures a long service life and maintenance-free operation.
- Stroke lengths up to 2000mm
- Maintenance-free due to self-lubricating high-performance polymers
- Corrosion-free due to 304 (AISI 304) and 316 (AISI316/316TI) stainless steel
- Can be configured with drylin® E stepper, DC, and EC/BLDC motors
- Motor control system dryve D1 available
- System height of only 40mm with new installation size Ø 10
- High corrosion resistance due to parts made from 1.4301 (AISI 304) and 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti)
- Variable stroke lengths of up to 2,000mm
- Modular system for different system widths
- Transparent design for easy cleaning
- Variable width, stroke length, and carriage length allow adjustment to any application
- Adjustment of toothed belt tension directly at the carriage
- Linear guide from the drylin® W linear construction kit
- Delivered ready to connect with motor and motor control system
- Service life can be calculated online
- Wide design for full stability
- Dimensioning aids for motor selection
- Tested in the igus® laboratory: ZLW series Size 20 modular axis, 1,000,000 cycles, in combination with servo motor and gearbox at 1,000N of load, 2,500mm stroke, and a speed of 1m/s
- 100% clean operation
- No washing out of grease and oil in the cleaning process
- Lubrication-free and maintenance-free
- igus® supports the circular economy of plastics and is investing in chemical recycling. Learn more about the topic at: Plastic2Oil

Robust and versatile use even in smaller installation sizes
igus has developed the ZLW linear axis in stainless steel for this purpose
In order to be able to provide a stainless steel linear axis for smaller installation spaces, igus® has developed the ZLW 10 series. Optionally, it can be supplied ready for connection to stepper or DC motors, so that the installation effort is as low as possible. With the two single rails, the linear axis is significantly lighter and it saves weight.
