PBC Linear Named as Leading Motion Systems Manufacturer by Design World

Linear motion system innovation and engineering expertise have earned PBC Linear repeated nominations from Design World as a leader in the industry. While recognition is appreciated, our reputation is built on delivering fast, customer-focused solutions to complex linear motion challenges across many applications. We invest heavily in product testing, application knowledge, and the development of technologies that address both broad and specialized needs. Examples include our SIMO® process for producing consistent, high-performance linear actuators at lower cost, and our Integral V Technology (IVT), which simplifies assembly for V-Rail linear guide systems.

A recent introduction is the addition of 4- and 5-roller carriages (or sliders) to our popular Redi-Rail® linear guide product line. What this means for customers is added flexibility of multiple roller options that can potentially save money in designs where a single 4- or 5-roller slider can take the place of two 3-roller sliders. In some cases that savings can approach 25%. Another advantage is that the rail will likely be shorter in most designs due to the reduction in space taken by a single slider as opposed to two sliders.

The competitive marketplace is demanding innovation. Customers are looking for solutions that reduce total installed cost while delivering the same, if not superior, performance to traditional approaches. -- John Good, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing.

We enjoy sharing our experiences

Our website reflects a constant need to challenge ourselves to bring customers new and innovative solutions for linear motion. Customers and industry leaders that come to our website will find a trove of informative technical videos, whitepapers, and literature that offer the best choices in linear motion design. They may choose from a range of topics that includes the 2:1 ratio, pre-load adjustment, where and when to use particular linear guide technologies, or the full cost comparisons of IVT vs. competitors.

We have developed the PBC Linear site to serve not just engineers, but anyone in an industry that requires a linear motion solution. The site grants users easy access to CAD files via our online configurator, as well as product information and detailed specifications.

Looking ahead to future, PBC Linear will continue to be a driving force in sophisticated linear motion design. We will continue to use our inventive products to address new emerging market trends such as factory and warehouse automation, hygienic food medical applications, and cartesian robotic solutions.
