drylin® curved linear rails

Based on the proven drylin® W series, igus® provides curved rails that are individually designed and have carriages that have been specifically developed for different radii.
That way, innovative solutions for applications with limited installation space are developed, e.g. in operating ergonomics, stage technology or in driver's cabins of utility vehicles, where monitors and control systems are designed in a radius to ensure safe and easy accessibility.

Lubrication-free drylin® W carriage for curved rails
Variable profile directions (convex, concave, curved bending)
Torque-resistant alternative to curved tube profiles
Bending option depending on the radius, rail length, bearing/carriage and mounting
Customised project service (radii, rail profiles, coating)

Frequently asked questions about curved rails

What is a curved rail?

Curved rail is simply that, it is drylin® W rail that has been extruded in a curved design.

Where can I use drylin® curved rail?

You can use curved rail in various applications such as marine, agricultural and medical.

Why use drylin® curved rail?

Curved rail opens doors that might have been closed before because of certain parameters. It allows more flexibility than standard rails offer.

Curved rail application examples

Use curved rail on your boat!

Unlike standard rail, curved rail has an advantage. It can be more flexible than standard rails. This is what makes them perfect for Marina applications, such as hatches on boats. igus® curved linear rails are lubrication-free, water resistant and rust proof.

Bespoke curved rails for dining!

igus® was asked to custom design a curved linear rail for a banquet occasion. The drylin® curved rails are perfect for such applications as the bend radii can be customised and the smooth running carriages mean a silent and efficient movement. Also, no lubrication so exceptionally clean!
