Robust, in-stock motion components for automotive equipment

When the line can't stop, neither can your components

Automotive schedules leave no room for delays. At the same time, equipment is growing more complex, tolerances are tightening and the cost of downtime keeps climbing. When you need motion components that are built to perform, you can count on IKO.

Components Built for the Shop Floor

Components Built for the Shop Floor

IKO linear motion rolling guides feature robust construction engineered to hold up in harsh automotive environments, including welding lines, stamping machines and heavy-duty tooling equipment. They deliver smooth motion, high rigidity and long service life across a wide range of sizes and load capacities. With a broad off-the-shelf product range stocked in multiple U.S. locations, we get the right component to you fast without the lead times that slow projects down.

A Range That Covers Every Application

To meet the varied demands of automotive manufacturing equipment, we offer motion components across linear, rotary and mechatronics categories — from linear guides and ball spline guides, to crossed roller bearings and precision positioning tables. Many products are available in multiple sizes and configurations, giving you the flexibility to optimize for load capacity, space constraints and cost efficiency without sacrificing accuracy or service life.

Reliability You Don't Have to Think About

Many IKO products come with C-Lube built-in lubrication technology, which reduces the need to disassemble equipment for routine maintenance — a critical advantage in environments where stopping a line is not an option. Because C-Lube is built into the component itself, external dimensions remain identical to standard guides, making them a drop-in replacement with no redesign required. You can even add configurable seals and coatings that protect against weld spatter, metal chips, coolant and other shop floor contaminants.

Technical Advantages

  • A wide range of off-the-shelf motion components are stocked across multiple U.S. locations for delay-free availability.
  • C-Lube built-in lubrication technology minimizes maintenance time and expense in high-uptime production environments.
  • The Linear Way H Series delivers high accuracy and rigidity for chucking, mold fixtures and precision tooling applications through four-point ball-to-raceway contact.
  • Linear motion rolling guides with highly rigid slide units move over wide track rails to enhance moment load handling in heavy-duty equipment.
  • Linear motion rolling guides offer outstanding metallurgical properties for smooth motion, accurate performance, good rigidity and a long service life.
  • Configurable seals and coatings protect components from weld spatter, metal chips, coolant and other contaminants common on the automotive shop floor.

Application Examples

  • Stamping plants
  • Assembly fixtures for tooling/molds
  • Welding lines for chassis and frames
  • Jigs, chucking and testing fixtures
  • Test and measurement
