igus drylin® ZLW toothed belt axes Specifications

The drylin® toothed belt axes in the ZLW series are suitable for many different positioning and adjustment tasks. The lubrication-free drylin® W profile guide acts as a linear guide and a toothed belt acts as a drive. The stroke is individually selectable. Thanks to the lightweight design using plastic and aluminium, drylin® ZLW toothed belt axes have a low mass inertia, making them highly efficient. Whether as an individual system or a linear robot, the ZLW series offers the ideal solution in both confined spaces and applications that require a high level of torque support . All drylin® ZLW toothed belt axes can be ordered ready for connection and configured with drylin® E stepper and DC motors.
