INOCON now offers box bellows as a specific accessory for its double-tube linear units to enable use even in cases with an increased amount of dirt and to increase work safety. 

Linear axes can also be used on machines that are surrounded by dirt, e.g. in the form of grinding dust or swarf. The bellows from INOCON protects the spindle and the guide tubes of the double-tube linear units from external influences, extends the maintenance intervals and thus efficiently prevents rapid wear of the components. In addition, the use of the bellows improves occupational safety by reliably preventing injuries such as crushing caused by moving parts.
