MAZ linear system
The MAZ linear system enables the simple construction of a linear guide. In contrast to many other systems, the MAZ system offers the option of adding a drive to the linear guide. For example, recirculating ball screws, trapezoidal screws, steep threaded spindles or belts can be used. Compared to externally mounted spindle nuts, the integrated drive greatly reduces the space requirement of the linear unit.
The VTR can be used either individually or as a pair. By connecting two VTRs using a separately available cover plate, a 4-point bearing can be created, which enables larger torques to be absorbed in the axial direction.
The linear system can be configured with different linear bearings, which are described in more detail below.
Ball-guided linear bearings
The linear bearings enable backlash-free linear movement and the absorption of high radial forces. The force is transmitted by circulating ball tracks, which are fixed inside by a polymer housing. The bearings are sealed on both sides, which reduces the ingress of dirt and the leakage of lubricant.
| Use if: |
Use an alternative if: |
- a linear movement without play is required
|
- lubrication-free dry running is required

igus-J linear plain bearing
The iglidur® J bearings are characterized above all by a very low coefficient of friction in dry running and a very low stick-slip tendency.
| Use when: |
Use an alternative when: |
- very high load ratings are required
- a dirt-resistant bearing is required
- maintenance-free dry running is required
- smooth and quiet running is required
|
- high requirements are placed on freedom from play
|
igus-J4 linear plain bearing
The iglidur J4 bearing material represents a cost-effective alternative and is designed for a long service life with low to medium loads.
| Use when: |
Use an alternative when: |
- high load ratings are required
- a cost-effective alternative is required
- maintenance-free dry running is required
|
- high requirements are placed on zero backlash
