Precision motion components for critical life sciences applications

Where accuracy isn't optional

Life sciences equipment demands absolute precision and 24/7 reliability to protect human health, requiring motion components that ensure repeatable accuracy and long-term durability to avoid critical operational failures.

Accuracy and Repeatability at Every Scale

IKO linear motion rolling guides and crossed roller way guides ensure lab objects and samples are consistently positioned and precisely moved, cycle after cycle. Our crossed roller bearings offer high rotational accuracy and handle radial, thrust and moment loads simultaneously, making them well suited for the complex motion requirements of automated workstations and diagnostic instruments. Each year, we produce hundreds of thousands of parts to zero-defect standards, providing the quality assurance these applications demand.

Stocked and Ready When You Need It

We carry a large inventory of standard and custom parts across multiple U.S. locations to ensure immediate availability. If you need a new prototype quickly, we draw from that inventory and work with local machine shops to develop proof-of-concept samples, then scale to meet high-volume production requirements. From local sales engineers to senior management, we deliver an organization-wide commitment to on-time fulfillment.

Maintenance-Free for Uninterrupted Operation

Many of our products include C-Lube built-in lubrication technology, minimizing maintenance requirements in instruments where disassembly is impractical and downtime is unacceptable. Competitively priced and built for long service life, our motion components keep life sciences equipment running reliably.
