Accurate and durable stainless steel motion components

Motion components built for where cleanliness and uptime matter

IKO’s precision motion products provide the essential accuracy and durability required for automated food processing, engineered to withstand rigorous washdowns and continuous production while meeting food safety standards.

Built to Withstand Washdown Environments

Built to Withstand Washdown Environments

Many IKO products are available in 440C stainless steel versions, offering strong resistance to corrosion from moisture and cleaning agents. Both ball and roller-type linear motion rolling guides provide stable, accurate operation and excellent rigidity across a wide range of processing applications. Where plastic components present a contamination risk, we can replace them with stainless steel, giving you greater confidence in both performance and food safety compliance.

A Full Lineup of Contamination Protection

We offer seals, stainless steel end plates and chrome surface treatments to keep contaminants out of motion devices and equipment running at peak efficiency. Better protection means better uptime, higher throughput and more productive use of labor on the floor.

Maintenance-Free, Food-Safe by Design

Our C-Lube built-in lubrication technology can be paired with an NSF H-1 certified food-grade lubricant, providing long-term, maintenance-free operation that eliminates the downtime and expense of routine servicing. Because C-Lube is integrated into the component itself, external dimensions remain identical to standard guides — no redesign required.

Technical Advantages

  • Many products can be supplied with an NSF H-1 approved lubricant suitable for incidental contact with food.
  • Most products are available in 440C stainless steel, resisting corrosion from moisture, washdowns and cleaning agents.
  • We can replace plastic components with stainless steel to eliminate contamination risks in sensitive processing environments.
  • Both ball and roller-type linear motion rolling guides provide stable, accurate operation and excellent rigidity.
  • Linear motion rolling guides deliver smooth motion, accurate performance, good rigidity and a long service life.
  • C-Lube products with food-grade lubricant provide long-term, maintenance-free operation.
  • Parts can run effectively when wet, with seals, end plates and surface treatments available for added protection.
