Reliable motion components to maximize packaging machine uptime

Productivity and speed — built into every component

IKO enhances productivity with precise, durable motion components built for 24/7 operations. From high-speed bottling to heavy palletizing, our products maximize throughput while minimizing maintenance costs.

The Right Component for Every Machine

We enhance packaging machine productivity and uptime with components that combine accuracy, smooth motion, reliability and durability. Our linear guides feature outstanding metallurgical properties and come in a wide range of sizes and configurations to fit various applications, from lightweight requirements to those needing maximum stiffness against heavy loads. We also offer cost-effective mechatronics like precision positioning tables that deliver high accuracy in a compact size for ever-shrinking packaging equipment.

Protection in Sensitive Environments

Packaging machines are often sensitive to contamination from cardboard particles or lubricants that can interfere with linear guides. To combat this, we offer specialized seals and accessories to keep contamination contained and achieve maximum machine uptime. Many products are also available in stainless steel for use in wet conditions or cleanroom environments.

Less Downtime, More Production

Maintenance shouldn’t be a bottleneck. Our C-Lube built-in lubrication technology is designed to release oil slowly through direct contact with the rolling elements, achieving long-term and maintenance-free operation and preventing product contamination. C-Lube is integrated directly into the component, providing a simple way to increase uptime without complex redesigns.

Technical Advantages

Linear rolling guides deliver smooth, accurate motion, good rigidity and a long lifetime.
C-Lube provides long-term, maintenance-free operation while containing lubricants.
Interchangeable guide components let you mix and match slides and rails, simplifying system modifications.
Stainless steel versions are available for use in wet or cleanroom conditions.
Compact positioning tables and ball splines provide high precision for space-constrained machine designs.
