Integral-V Technology (IVT) Linear Guides

Versatile Linear Guide Systems 

Integral-V Technology (IVT) Linear Guides offer a versatile and innovative approach to linear motion systems. Engineered for precision, durability, and flexibility, these guides are ideal for a wide range of applications.

Constructed from precision-machined aluminum with integrated hardened stainless steel races, IVT Linear Guides provide a lightweight yet strong solution, balancing performance and durability. The integration of stainless steel races directly into the aluminum rail eliminates the need for fasteners, reducing the number of mounting components by up to 50%. This reduces assembly times, enhances structural integrity, and decreases material costs.

Available in lengths up to 3,650 mm and with lubricated for life rollers, IVT Linear Guides adapt to numerous industrial applications, including automation, robotics, machine tools, and material handling systems. Their robust construction and precise engineering make them a reliable alternative for traditional profile rails.

SIMO Process Advantages

SIMO Process for High Quality Machining

Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation

PBC Linear revolutionized traditional machining with the patented SIMO® process (Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation). The SIMO process uses synchronized cutters, eliminating natural extrusion variances by machining all critical edges concurrently in one pass. This ensures tight tolerances, limited variance, and a remarkably straight and repeatable surface at negligible additional cost! 

The result is an aluminum-extruded product that is rigid, accurate and repeatable, and holds tight tolerances within ±.001” (.025 mm). This allows for easy integration and minimal alignment on your linear motion system.
