PBC Linear - Company Profile

PBC Linear is a worldwide supplier of innovative linear motion solutions. Since the company's founding in 1982, when it introduced the first two-piece bonded Simplicity™ linear bearing, it has built a solid reputation for providing innovative application solutions. The success and continued demand for the Simplicity™ self-lubricated linear bearings, has not only allowed the company to gain entrance into new markets, but has also brought about new product introductions. Through the years, the Simplicity™ product family has expanded to include thrust and sleeve bearings, die set bushings, square bearings, pillow blocks, and a complete line of European and Japanese metric bearings. Today, PBC Linear's design innovation extends beyond plane bearings. The introduction of their new FrelonGold™ bearing liner material in 1998, created the opportunity to introduce Feather Shafting - a new lightweight ceramic coated roundway shafting that is approximately 1/3 the weight of RC65 steel shafting. By combining both Simplicity™ and Feather Shaft™ technologies, PBC Linear created Dolphin Guides™ a simple, cost effective, two-piece linear guide that affords the design engineer integration flexibility. Redi-Rail™ was created to meet the industry demand for faster, lighter and quieter linear motion applications. Combining lightweight structural components, precision steel inner raceways, and high-speed roller bearings, Redi-Rail™ delivers high-speed performance (8 meters/second), with continuous rail lengths available up to 19 feet (6m). Rounding out the current line is the Hevi-Rail™, heavy-duty bearing system. Hevi-Rail™ is a combination bearing that is capable of addressing both radial and axial loads up to 60 tons. Utilizing a combination bearing eliminates components, reduces installation time, and subsequently lowers costs. PBC Linear is moving ahead with new manufacturing and e-business initiatives designed to increase the flow of information, shorten design times, and improve order efficiency and accuracy.
