Quality and precision for any robotic application

High-performance motion for a robotic world

As industries adopt robotics for greater speed and efficiency, IKO provides high-performance components for reliable motion. Our quality products offer precise, repeatable movement for light and heavy-duty needs. Engineered for 24/7 operations, they excel in high-speed lines and intricate devices.

The Right Component for Every Robotics Axis

The Right Component for Every Robotics Axis

Our lineup of motion products come in various sizes and styles to fulfill robotic specifications. For systems with rotating or articulated arms, our CRB Series of crossed roller bearings offer simultaneous management of radial, thrust and moment loads, and offer consistent, reliable operation. Our linear motion rolling guides are available in rail sizes from 1 to 85 millimeters, allowing them to handle large industrial loads or fit into weight-constrained robotic devices where space is at a premium.

Built for Hazardous and Sensitive Environments

Our products are well-suited for use in hazardous spaces or sanitation-intensive industries like healthcare and food processing, where construction and protection are critical. Many of our components are available in stainless steel to prevent corrosion and tolerate extreme temperature ranges. To further extend service life in vacuum or food applications, we can modify components with special seals, coatings and greases to protect your investment from dust, dirt and other harsh conditions.

Reduced Maintenance for Maximum Uptime

Our C-Lube lubrication technology for liner guides significantly reduces maintenance requirements over a long service life by providing continuous lubrication to rolling elements. This makes our components an essential choice for robotic operations where manual servicing is difficult or costly. By combining robust product construction with maintenance-free technology, we ensure your automated machinery remains reliable and productive.

Technical Advantages

  • Linear motion rolling guides feature outstanding metallurgical properties for smooth motion and high rigidity.
  • Crossed roller bearings deliver high rotational accuracy and handle complex loads.
  • C-Lube provides long-term, maintenance-free operation to maximize system uptime.
  • A wide range of off-the-shelf components supports rapid prototyping and fulfillment.
  • Stainless steel versions and specialized seals protect against corrosion, extreme temperatures and debris.
