2026 PBC Linear Motion Product Additions

Ball screw nuts are now available in two fits: Standard Backlash (0.05mm max) and Transitional Backlash (0.008mm to ≤3% preload). Transitional Backlash fit nuts offer enhanced rigidity and positional accuracy.

EconoGlide square flanged plain linear bearings, single sized, feature the self-lubricating injection molded Frelon IM liner that ensures maintenance-free, oil-free operation in dusty and dirty conditions. Static loads up to 87,500 N (19,671 lb) are supported. These flanged bearings are available in metric sizes (8mm to 50mm) with a sturdy aluminum body and a flange at one end.

EconoGlide round flanged plain linear bearings, single sized, feature the self-lubricating Frelon IM liner that ensures maintenance-free, oil-free operation in dusty and dirty conditions. Static loads up to 87,500 N (19,671 lb) are supported. These flanged bearings are available in metric sizes (8mm to 50mm) with a sturdy aluminum body and a flange at one end.

Open Metric EconoGlide® plain linear bearings from PBC Linear are engineered to deliver reliable linear motion with minimal maintenance in applications where performance, durability, and cost must stay in balance. Designed for systems that don’t require the extreme contamination resistance of heavy-duty plain bearings.

Closed Metric EconoGlide® plain linear bearings from PBC Linear are engineered to deliver reliable linear motion with minimal maintenance in applications where performance, durability, and cost must stay in balance. Designed for systems that don’t require the extreme contamination resistance of heavy-duty plain bearings.

PBC Linear® Heavy Duty Steel Drawer Slides are a family of telescopic linear rail assemblies designed to provide smooth, extended motion. They are ideal for use in industrial trays, sliding platforms, access panels, and other load-bearing applications. Engineered for strength, durability, and ease of integration, the slides deliver controlled motion with long stroke travel.

Imperial Closed EconoGlide® plain bearings from PBC Linear® are engineered to deliver reliable linear motion with minimal maintenance in applications where performance, durability, and cost must stay in balance. Designed for systems that don’t require the extreme contamination resistance of heavy-duty plain bearings.

Double-Sealed Stainless Steel V-Wheels are permanently sealed and lubricated. V-Guide wheels are dual-row angular contact roller bearings offering low-friction guidance for linear motion in washdown applications. They can be used with internal or external 90-degree rails, as well as round shafts.

Steel Rail and Steel Rail Plus Linear Guides from PBC Linear have been designed to succeed in applications that demand high load capacity, precise movement, and long-term durability in compact spaces. The Steel Rail Plus Series introduces a new capability into our existing offering of linear guides- compensation for misalignment in parallel rail applications.

MTE Series belt-driven linear actuators are high-speed linear actuators designed for multi-axis Cartesian systems that require high load capacity while maintaining a compact footprint. The series offers two profile sizes (55 and 80 mm) to support applications requiring long strokes, high speeds, and reliable performance in space-constrained machine designs.

The MTS Series of high-speed, belt-driven linear actuators is engineered for multi-axis, medium- to large-scale Cartesian gantry systems that demand higher rigidity and increased load capacity. Featuring a range of profile sizes and configuration options, the MTS Series supports applications requiring long strokes, high speeds, and elevated payloads.

Cylindrical ball screw nuts with external threads simplify the mounting process. We offer miniature ball screw assemblies with screw diameters of 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm, and lead sizes of 1mm, 2mm, and 2.5mm. The steel screws are precision-rolled for consistent lead accuracy.

Stainless Steel, Plain Linear Bearing Pillow Blocks combining self-lubricating Simplicity® Plain Linear Bearings with a straight bore, stainless steel housing. The bearing shell is composed of stainless steel and has a Frelon®J bore liner which excels in harsh chemical environments.

Flanged mount shaft supports help position and secure a linear shaft while preventing both rotational and axial movement. Constructed from lightweight, durable aluminum, they are compatible with all shaft types. These support blocks can also provide overhead clearance when end mounted.

LN Series non-captive lead screw linear actuators are motorized assemblies in which the motor is integrated with the nut and the lead screw passes completely through the motor, rotating while moving axially rather than being fixed in place like in a captive system. Designed for simple integration and flexible layouts, the LN Series supports lead screws of virtually any length and can be completely unscrewed from the motor for easy installation and maintenance.

Captive lead screw linear actuators are one type of integrated drive mechanism used in linear motion systems, combining a stepper motor and lead screw to produce precise linear motion. In the LC Series design, the lead screw nut is injection-molded directly into the motor rotor so that when the motor rotates the nut spins, causing the lead screw to move linearly with the load while the motor housing and nut remain stationary.
