Automated Warehousing

Reliable, accurate motion components for modern storage and distribution

Keep goods moving all day, every day

Modern warehouses don’t stop. Whether you're running a fleet of robotic pickers or high-speed conveyor network, IKO linear guides and bearings are built for reliable, repeatable motion over long service lives.

The Right Component for Every Axis of Motion

The Right Component for Every Axis of Motion

IKO linear guides handle loads in any direction and come in a wide range of sizes, from compact, weight-sensitive robotic devices to heavy-load storage and retrieval systems. For rotary joints, you can choose crossed roller bearings that simultaneously manage radial, thrust and moment loads, or high-capacity needle roller bearings. Whatever your system demands, we stock large quantities of components, rails and accessories to keep your lead times short.

Less Downtime, Lower Maintenance Costs

Our C-Lube technology uses capillary action to continuously feed lubricant to the bearing over its lifetime. That means you don’t have to worry about scheduled re-greasing, taking systems offline or reaching into tight spaces to service components deep inside a machine. The result is a lower total cost of ownership and fewer unplanned stoppages on the warehouse floor.

Built to Survive the Environment

Dust, debris, moisture and constant vibration are facts of life in distribution centers. We offer a full range of seals, coatings and stainless steel variants to protect components from corrosion and contamination. Whether your facility runs dry, wet or temperature-controlled operations, there's a configuration that fits.

Technical Advantages

  • Linear motion rolling guides deliver smooth motion, accurate performance, good rigidity and a long lifetime.
  • Crossed roller bearings offer high rotational accuracy and handle radial, thrust and moment loads simultaneously.
  • Interchangeable guide components let you mix and match slides, rails and blocks, simplifying upgrades and repairs.
  • Stainless steel options available for wet environments and cleanroom conditions.
  • Seals and coatings protect against dust, dirt, grease and other harsh conditions.
  • C-Lube products provide long-term, maintenance-free operation.
  • Large inventory of off-the-shelf components supports fast turnaround on large-scale ASRS projects.

Application Examples

  • Storage and retrieval systems (ASRS)
  • Robotic pickers
  • Pick and place systems
  • Conveyor systems
  • Gantry systems
