Besides the well known and proven range of rotative bearings, IBC also offers linear motion bearings as a C shaped profile that has tracks on its inner side. This results in a very compact and space-saving system which can still be used, when outside-leading systems require too much space. In general, there are following two designs: Telescope linear motion bearings and linear motion bearing-run carriage systems.

IBC linear motion bearings are not only used in machine tools and in automation constructions, but are also found more and more in the automotive area, railway supply industry as well as in medical technology and in the electrical industry. Requirements of linear motion bearings are as various as the different kinds of application are with these sectors.

When it comes to handling and automation or with transport systems the most important aspect is speed, which also means productiveness and at the same time low power demand. In the machine tool sector the most important aspects are stiffness and easy running. The choice of the correct type of guidance depends on conditions like load, speed, lift and acceleration as well as on factors of influence such as temperature, lubrication, vibration, servicing and installation. Depending on the application a coating with  ATCoat is recommendable. To find the suitable bearing for your application, independent if it is concerning a rotating or linear motion, convince yourself of the competence of our technical consultation teams.
