SIMO-Series

The SIMO® Series enables multiple application requirements to be met with a single platform. Flexible with a uniform geometry as a base with a large number of selectable options in the basic design, drive type and type of guide. The mix and match platform within the same design environment allows configurations to be easily and quickly adjusted.

PROBLEM:
A bottling system required a linear motion solution that could tolerate hig moment loads as well as provide thrust loads.

THE PBC LINEAR SOLUTION:
The SIMO Series is ideal in bottling and food service applications that require repeatable motion and involve various load capacities. Plain bearings utilize the bonded FrelonGold® self-lubricating maintenance-free surface.

KEY BENIFITS:

  • Smooth & Quiet motion provided by proprietary Frelon® liner
  • No Catastrophic failure as result of contamination
  • Self-Lubricating linear motion without oil or grease

GST Gliding Surface Technology

PBC Linear manufactures Gliding Surface Technology to perform and to withstand harsh environments while offering additional advantages. By utilizing plain bearing design, Gliding Surface Technology offers lower profiles, compact sizes, and smooth, quiet linear motion. Available options and product capabilities provide unlimited design alternatives and configurations.

VISION, SENSORS, SCANNING:
GST rail and carriages provide consistent smooth performance in vision applications due to not having any metal-to-metal contact.

KEY BENIFITS:

  • Lubrication Ecolology System for reduced maintenance
  • Reinforced end plates for long life and reduced maintenance
  • Riging and precise recirculating ball design

RST Round Shaft Technology

Round Shaft Technology utilizes precision round shafting as the guideway and linear plain bearings for movement. RST self-lubricating linear plain bearings come in a wide variety of configurations and offer solutions for a broad range of applications. Open bearings flanged bearings and pillow blocks offer a variety of mounting configurations.

PROBLEM:
A bottling equipment manufacturer was disappointed with ball bearing performance in their automation washdown environments.

THE PBC LINEAR SOLUTION:
Simplicity® plain bearings were used as an effective alternative to ball bearings. The plain bearing Frelon® liners produce a microscopic transfer of thin film that creates a smooth interaction between the bearing and shaft. This in turn allows for the self-lubricating condition of Frelon riding on Frelon. Simplicity bearing are also engineered to wipe particles from shafts, so no seals were needed. Frequent seizing of the bearing and shaft was eliminated.

KEY BENIFITS:

  • Smooth & Quiet motion provided by proprietary Frelon® liner
  • No Catastrophic failure as result of contamination
  • Self-Lubricating linear motion without oil or grease
