Ultimate driving simulation with drylin®

• What was needed: drylin® W and drylin® N linear systems, iglidur® plain bearings
• Requirements: The parts must be robust, offer excellent smoothness and fluidity in movement and operate lubrication-free to avoid damage. Customer-specific solutions are important to individually adapt the simulator. The long-lasting and maintenance-free nature of igus® products play a crucial role in the reliability of the simulator.
• Products used: drylin® W and drylin® N linear systems, iglidur® plain bearings
• Success for the customer: The products from igus® impress with their high resilience, maintenance-free specifications and long service life. They enable smooth and quiet movement. They are also lubrication-free, maintenance-free and extremely durable. In addition, they can be individually adjusted.

Problem

Using a driving simulation can present some challenges. The parts used are often too heavy, which leads to increased friction and requires regular maintenance. Lubricants are often used that make it difficult to clean the parts easily.

This creates noise that can make the simulation experience feel unrealistic. The installation is often complicated and not tailored to individual customer requirements. Due to these factors, a long service life is not guaranteed.

Solution

In a driving simulation, various components from igus® are used to implement the movements in the yaw, pitch and roll directions. These include drylin® W, drylin® N linear systems and iglidur® for pedal adjustment as well as iglidur® J plain bearings for the accelerator and brake pedals as well as the steering wheel. The products from igus® are characterised by their high reliability and always ensure fast and smooth movements. They are lubrication-free, maintenance-free and show only minimal wear. In addition, they hardly produce any noise and reduce vibrations to a minimum. In order to individually adapt the simulator, customer-specific solutions are particularly important. With the help of the configurator, the drylin® linear systems can be optimally adapted to the respective requirements, be it in terms of different sizes or individual configuration options. All materials are extremely robust and ensure perfect function in various environments.
