No cage creeping even under high-tact operation in a vertical axis.IKO Anti-Creep Cage Roller Way is a rack and pinion mechanism originated from the IKO Crossed Roller Way and provides smooth linear motion with high accuracy. Features flexible mounting, high-speed operation, and is easy to upgrade. More>>
No Maintenance Linear Motion Rolling GuideThe IKO Linear Roller Way Super MX is a well-balanced structure with cylindrical rollers that brings great load capacity, very high rigidity and super running accuracy. The capillary system continuously supplies an adequate amount of lubrication oil to the cylindrical rollers. More>>
New Concept in Linear MotionIKO Linear Way U is a linear motion rolling guide featuring a track rail with a U-shaped cross section. Raceways are provided on the inside surface of the track rail. In addition it can be used by itself as a structural member of machines and equipment. More>>
Achieve High Speed Responsive PositioningThe IKO Linear Motor Table LT is a direct drive positioning table featuring a low sectional height and light weight. LT is suitable for applications requiring high speed operation such as semiconductor, measuring instruments, assembling systems, and material transfer equipment. More>>
Precision Positioning TablesThe IKO TU Series achieves stable high accuracy and high rigidity in operations under fluctuating loads varying in direction and magnitude. Ball screw types and leads, motor types, and sensor installations, etc. can be selected to obtain an optimum positioning table suitable for any application. More>>
