Expansion Creates Manufacturing Opportunities

Metric Redi-Rails now have a 4-wheel and 5-wheel carriage options. It is important to understand how the addition of rollers affect load capabilities, and which rollers support the load based on the relative position to the slider assembly.

For over a decade, Integral-V Technology (IVT) has proven itself a go-to choice for linear motion applications, by providing a variety of advantages over traditional linear methods.

Available in standard, low profile and driven assemblies, the Uni-Guide is a tested and proven linear slide assembly from PBC Linear and  is a perfect solution for many motion control tasks.

The need for a more precise linear motion mechanism has driven PBC Linear to pinpoint substantial resources along each step of its engineering and manufacturing of lead screws, and simultaneously employ quality metrology processes.

Linear roller bearing systems offer advantages in applications where high speed or quick change of direction is required. Lubrication must be present to minimize the results of this metal-to metal contact and extend the life of the system.

The Roadshow offers customers that hands-on experience, all within clients’ friendly confines. Attendees may interact with a wide range of components and mechatronic samples, while engaging in a meaningful dialogue with PBC representatives.

There are many factors to consider when selecting the correct linear motion system for your specific application. P.O.S.T.L.U.D.E.S will quickly guide you to asking the right questions to determine the best product for the job.

Featuring oil-free, smooth and quiet linear motion, the Low Profile Uni-Guide (UGA) maintains the proven advantages of the standard two-piece Uni-Guide in a simple, compact assembly, perfect for applications were space is at a premium.

Round shaft technology and bearings offer linear motion solutions for many medical applications, any place linear adjustment is needed:  patient handling, scan heads, moveable lights, and instrument adjustments, just to name a few.

Every day at PBC Linear, we are inspired by the phone inquiries we receive from valued customers. Including how to set-up, align, finish, preload, install, and utilize the Hevi-Rail heavy duty bearings and profiles in automation and lift system applications.

Redi-Rail is a versatile product and can be mounted to utilize either the radial load capacity or the axial load capacity. A load applied in the Y direction makes use of the radial load capacity. The Z direction applies force in the axial loading condition.

Redi-Rail is designed as a perfect linear motion solution, and has been utilized to accomplish several critical tasks; such as automation, machine transfer and material handling applications.

Linear motion applications are often found to have not only radial loads but also axial load requirements. For these applications, single or double row angular contact bearings are often used. 

Hevi-Rail Bearings have several performance characteristics that make it ideal for heavy-use cases. Some of these properties include low coefficient of friction, high load ratings, and the ability to easily roll in and out of the rail.

Shipping containers face a constant struggle to optimize storage space and accessibility within a confined area. Organization of stored material is also important for accurate inventory and streamlined loading/unloading.
