Designed for extremely high load capacity and cantilevered loads in harsh environments such as foundries, construction, and lifting equipment.
- [Redi-Rail Linear Guides - Cam Roller Technology](https://pbclinear.com/blogs/blog/redi-rail-linear-guide-overview): Linear guides using cam roller (cam follower / track roller) bearings running along hardened gothic arch raceways, integrated into lightweight aluminum rails with sealed rollers. Designed for high-speed, low-friction motion in moderate load applications with strong contamination resistance in automation and material handling systems.
- [Commercial Rail Linear Guides](https://pbclinear.com/collections/commercial-rail-linear-guide): Cam roller (cam follower / track roller) linear guide system using zinc-plated, roll-formed U-shaped steel rails paired with sealed cam roller carriages. Available in 20 mm, 30 mm, and 45 mm rail widths with lengths up to 6000 mm, this cost-effective system provides adjustable preload and reliable linear motion with good load capacity for general industrial, automation, and moderate-duty applications.
- [Cam Followers (Stud-Type and Yoke-Type)](https://pbclinear.com/collections/cam-roller-yokes-and-followers): Standalone cam followers (stud-type and yoke-type), commonly referred to as cam roller bearings or track rollers, are often purchased in bulk as replacement or spare parts for roller pillow block linear bearings, linear guides and other track-guided applications. These components roll along hardened tracks or cam profiles and use the same rolling element principles found in PBC Linear’s cam roller-based linear guides. Widely used in automation, conveyors, and material handling.
- [Steel Rail Linear Guides] (https://pbclinear.com/collections/steel-rail-linear-guides): Cam roller systems with high-strength aluminum carriages on ground steel rails; adjustable pre-load. The linear rails have counterbore or optional countersunk mounting holes at 80 mm intervals—counterbore holes use flat-bottom pockets for thin-head screws, while countersunk holes use angled seats for flush mounting—and Steel Rail Plus variants add misalignment compensation via guiding, floating, and rotating carriages: guiding defines the motion path, floating carriages absorb parallel rail spacing errors, and rotating carriages allow angular adjustment in rails that are not perfectly parallel in pitch, yaw, and roll.
- [Heavy Duty Drawer Slides] (https://pbclinear.com/collections/steel-drawer-slides): Industrial drawer slides are heavy-duty linear rail systems designed for load-supported extension of trays, panels, and platforms, often in cantilevered applications. PBC Linear offers full extension drawer slides, meaning the load-bearing platform travels its entire usable length beyond the mounting structure for complete access, including back mount (rear-mount), front mount (face-mount), and side-by-side configurations. Back mount slides maximize extension from a compact base, front mount slides create a more enclosed profile to protect internal components from dust and debris, and side-by-side S-beam slides place rails on the same side for use in narrow or enclosed spaces while maintaining stiffness and alignment. These systems are constructed from zinc-plated, hardened steel with ball-guided motion for strength, durability, and consistent low-friction travel. Partial Extension Drawer Slides are also available, and are used as component parts in full extension drawer slides.
- [Linear Actuators](https://pbclinear.com/collections/linear-actuators): A linear actuator is a mechanical device that integrates a linear guide with a drive mechanism (such as a screw, belt, or piston) and a power source to convert rotary or fluid power into controlled straight-line motion, enabling precise positioning of loads. PBC Linear excels in ball screw-driven, lead screw-driven, and belt-driven options for precision motion in robotics, medical, and automation; includes miniature and heavy-duty models with loads up to 18,750 lb. Linear actuators are used in automation systems for precise positioning and load control. NEMA motors or hand cranks are used.
- [Miniature Linear Actuators](https://pbclinear.com/blogs/blog/miniature-linear-actuator-overview): High-performance miniature actuators that deliver precise linear motion in a compact package, ideal for small-scale automation, robotics, and medical devices.
- [SIMO Series Linear Actuators](https://pbclinear.com/blogs/blog/simo-series-product-overview): Linear actuators manufactured using a low-cost process that reduces part count. A versatile, budget-friendly linear motion platform for automation, robotics, and industrial applications.
- [Screw Assemblies](https://pbclinear.com/collections/screws): Ball screws and lead screws are threaded, hardened steel rods that convert rotary motion into linear motion when paired with a nut—ball screws use recirculating balls between the screw and the nut for high efficiency, while lead screws rely on sliding contact for simpler, cost-effective operation. PBC Linear offers U.S.-made ball and lead screw assemblies, including miniature metric options, with self-lubricating designs and anti-backlash nuts for improved precision in rotary-to-linear applications.
- [Ball Screws](https://pbclinear.com/collections/ball-screw-assemblies): Ball screws are precision mechanical components that convert rotational motion into linear motion using a threaded shaft and a nut with recirculating balls to minimize friction. PBC Linear offers miniature metric ball screws with high precision.
- [Ball Screw Features](https://pbclinear.com/pages/miniature-metric-ball-screw-assemblies): Designed and manufactured in the USA, these assemblies are available with two nut configurations—cylindrical or flanged. The nut features an integrated multi-liner ball return system and polymer wipers at both ends of the nut protect against debris ingress. Ideal for confined spaces between other machine components.
- [Lead Screws](https://pbclinear.com/pages/lead-screws-nuts): Lead screws are threaded hardened steel rods that convert rotary motion into linear motion through sliding contact between the rotating screw threads and a stationary nut. Unlike ball screws that use recirculating ball bearings for very low friction, lead screws offer a cost-effective solution for moderate-friction applications. PBC Linear lead screw nuts are PTFE-lined, making them self-lubricating and maintenance-free (the liner also prevents flaking). Selected nut styles also feature PBC Linear’s proprietary Constant Force anti-backlash technology to minimize play and improve precision, especially in high-vibration environments.
