About DTL Linear
DTL Linear, LLC (“DTL Linear”) is a Wyoming company and is affiliated with DTL International, LLC. David Dahl manages DTL Linear.
DTL Linear is a new company but has a history dating back to 2014. DTL started out as an IoT think tank attracting the best engineers from the semiconductor, military, aviation, telecom industries, and the Provost of Southern Utah University. Companies we have worked with includes: WD, Seagate Technology, Nokia, Ericsson, Rockwell Automation, Philips, STI Electronics, Molex, Intel, TSMC, and Southern Utah University.
DTL has done design work on antenna technology that is used today in 5G telecommunications technology. We have worked on technology related to wearables and EV.
Precision Movement
At Any Scale
We’ve achieved an extremely high degree of accuracy through light connectivity that continues to preform in both micro and macro applications.

From Surgery to Super-Colliders.
About Our Design.
Our latest design is a linear slide with technology that has been a long time coming (patent pending). We recognized a small shortcoming in the current technology affecting a multi-billion dollar market.
In developing this technology, DTL had three goals in mind:
High Degree of Accuracy
Pinpoint precision for any movement.
Enviromentally Friendly and More Sustainable
100% circular & servicable for minimal impact.
Scalable – The Technology Needs to be a One Size Fits All Solution
Our design works at ANY size or scale.
A result of this new design is an extremely accurate linear slide that may be applied in a variety of uses.
To meet our goals of deceasing the environmental impact, this high-precision linear slide requires less material used because of its unique design. In turn, less energy is used to produce the linear slide, which then lowers costs.
This design is scalable. We are able to easily modify the size from micro, for applications like surgery, to extremely large to move sizeable objects with potential manufacturing and military application. Linear Slides are used in medical, aerospace, automotive, telecommunications, robotics and in almost every Industry.
We are currently working on a new concept specifically designed for the EV Powertrain Manufacturers.

We’re passionate about driving innovation through advancing technology.
Our Mission
Dramatic Improvement to Essential Technology
This disruptive design offers improvement in precision and speed vs today’s ball and screw based actuators.
Lower Costs
We’ve helped companies reduce cost by providing a new design that uses less material and energy to produce.
Reduce Environmental Impact
Our sustainable design enables replacement of only the bearing. Further our bearing partners are able to refurbish the used bearings creating a 100% circular and sustainable design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this recyclable and sustainable?
The metals can be recycled at DTL Chemicals and the precision balls can be refurbished at NEMB.
How durable is your design?
Our design is highly durable, and can provide 1,000,000+ cycles depended on use case and design We can alter the design depending on the target, and the bearings inside are able to be serviced instead of replacing the entire slide.
Does it matter what light source you use?
No! You can use any light source including conventional, LED, and even UV if needed.
What quality of precision balls do you use?
Grade 10.
