Machine Tools

Robust guides and bearings to meet the demands of CNC machining

Precision, durability and protection

IKO linear and rotary components deliver the accuracy, rigidity and contamination resistance modern CNC machine tools require for tight tolerances and heavy loads, all while ensuring longer maintenance intervals.

Built for Heavy Loads and Complex Motion

Built for Heavy Loads and Complex Motion

Our heavy-duty linear bearings range from 8 to 85 millimeters, scaling from compact three-axis machines to large five-axis machining centers that handle heavy parts. For high-accuracy tooling and mold fixture work, the Linear Way H Series delivers four-point ball-to-raceway contact for exceptional rigidity. Where rotary motion is required, our crossed roller bearings handle radial, thrust and moment loads simultaneously, making them well suited for rotary tables, tool changers and indexing heads that must manage complex, multi-directional forces.

Engineered to Handle the Shop Floor

Corrosion, metal chips, cutting fluid and weld spatter are unavoidable in demanding machining environments. Our components come in stainless and carbon steel, with corrosion-resistant surface treatments like black chrome. C-Wiper protection keeps chips and debris out of slide units, while a full range of seals and accessories provide additional contamination defense. Whether your application runs wet or dry, there’s an IKO configuration that holds up.

Maintenance You Don’t Have to Schedule

Stopping a machine for re-greasing costs time and money. Our C-Lube built-in lubrication technology continuously feeds lubricant to the bearing over its service life, eliminating external lubrication lines, scheduled downtime and the need to reach into confined spaces to service components. Because C-Lube is integrated into the component itself, external dimensions remain identical to standard guides, making them a direct drop-in replacement.

Technical Advantages

  • Ball and roller linear bearings range from 8 to 85 mm, covering small three-axis machines to large five-axis machining centers.
  • The Linear Way H Series delivers high accuracy and rigidity for chucking, mold fixtures and precision tooling through four-point ball-to-raceway contact.
  • Crossed roller bearings handle radial, thrust and moment loads simultaneously for demanding rotary motion applications.
  • Cam followers feature small radial internal clearances to absorb impact loads in tool changers and extend operating life.
  • C-Wiper protection shields slide units from dust, metal chips and cutting fluid.
  • C-Lube self-lubrication technology provides long-term, maintenance-free operation with no change to external dimensions.
  • Stainless steel and carbon steel construction with corrosion-resistant surface treatments including black chrome.
  • Additional seals and accessories available to prevent contamination across wet or dry machining environments.
