The DryLin R linear plain bearings, from igus (East Providence, RI), can be used to replace PTFE-lined bearings in a variety of industries, according to the company.

The individual glide pads wipe away any excess media and move to the contact-free area, which allows the glide sections to slide freely on the shaft. They are also self-lubricating, which eliminates the need to apply oil or grease.
