Expanded Miniature Capability

★ By Heather Brown Leave a Comment

PBC Linear is announcing an expanded miniature rail portfolio that includes new, ball-type products along with their proven Frelon self-lubricating plain bearing linear guides and driven stages. The end result is a complete new line of miniature linear motion technology that includes:

->Frelon plain bearing linear guides available in 5 sizes from 7mm – 20 mm
->Miniature ball-type linear guides as small as 3mm Lead screw driven miniature actuators from both technologies

This expanded miniature portfolio is available as a result of cooperation with Chieftek Precision Co, LTD (CPC), a global leader in small profile ball-guided technology. This new arrangement will facilitate collaborative new product designs; such as precise, lead-screw driven linear actuators from both triboligical bearing technologies to fit into the compact space of the miniature industry. The strategic basis of the cooperation is built on multiple elements; including:

->Application of each company’s core technologies and tribology expertise to accelerate new product development
->Enhanced sales coverage based upon PBC’s strong position in the America’s and CPC’s position in Southeast Asia
->Opportunities to leverage each other’s regional manufacturing and logistics infrastructure to enhance Global responsiveness
