Linear Components

SIMO Series Linear Motion Platform

The SIMO® Series Linear Motion Platform is a solution designed to be versatile, flexible, and affordable.

• Versatile options allow a design engineer to meet multiple application requirements within a single platform.

• Flexible due to consistent geometry creating a platform of interchangeable options.

• Affordable with SIMO qualified rails providing machined precision at extrusion type prices.

The SIMO Series Linear Motion Platform range of options includes:

• Rail heights; low profile for tight spaces or a tall version for greater structural integrity. Each aluminum base rail is uniquely qualified with the SIMO process(Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation) for six times less bow, two times less twist, and two times better flatness. The result is a base rail with machined precision at aluminum extrusion prices.

• 3 bearing tribologies; self-lubricating FrelonGOLD^®plain bearings which are ideally suited for contaminated environments, V-wheel roller bearings for high speed applications, and profile rail linear guideways with recirculating ball bearings for rigidity and precision.

• 3 drive types; lead screw with machined nut or anti-backlash nut, ball screw, or two versions of belt drives.

This versatility to mix-n-match features within the same design envelope allows an engineer to test multiple configurations, easily adapt to changing requirements dependent upon load, speed, accuracy, environment, and life considerations, while specifying a linear motion system that is on budget and on time every time.

Round Shaft Technology - Linear Bearings & Linear Guides

Round Shaft Technology (RST) utilizes a full selection of precision ground shafting (hardened steel, stainless steel or aluminum) combined with PBC Linear best-in-class linear plain and ball bearing products; such as bearings, sleeve bushings, pillow block housings and support rail assemblies. Also, with PBC Linear’s proven Simplicity self-lubricating technology, our customers can ensure long-term operation in the most challenging motion control environments.

• Simplicity® linear plain and linear ball bearings in imperial, ISO metric, and JIS metric sizes
• Closed, open, and flanged styles in bearing only and housed assemblies
• Selection of shaft materials, length, and configurations

Cam Roller Technology and Roller Bearings

Cam Roller Technology uses PBC Linear precision straight rails and a multitude of different sliders and rails to provide high accuracy and high speed linear guidance in an economical solution. Cam Roller Technology is ideally suited for material handling, point-to-point, door frame guidance and automation applications. We also offer linear motion solutions for high load transfer and compact, low profile applications.

Integral-V Linear Guide Technology

Integral-V™ is the next-generation linear guide. IVT simplifies design, eases assembly and improves performance specs over the traditional methods. Using anodized aluminum extrusions embedded with hardened steel inserts, IVT products eliminate fasteners and reduce mounting pieces by 50%. For streamlined linear guidance with enhanced performance, IVT is the answer.

Gliding Surface Technology -Plain Bearing Linear Motion

Gliding Surface Technology adapts plain bearing design to create a simple, two-piece configuration of a rail and carriage with a self-lubricating surface. By utilizing plain bearing design, Gliding Surface Technology offers lower profiles, compact sizes, and smooth, quiet linear motion.

• Plain bearing design will not catastrophically fail
• Vibration damping provides smooth and quiet linear motion
• Long life without lubrication

Profile Rail Technology – Ball-type Linear Guides

Available from PBC Linear are the Chieftek-Precision, Inc.,high performance ball-type linear guideways.  Equipped with improved features such as stainless steel reinforced end plates, internal eco-lubrication system and overall dust proof design, these new ball-type linear guides offer high speed and repeatable linear motion at extended life performance.
