IKO International

If your bearing system is subjected to high impact loads or is exposed to harsh environmental conditions and is susceptible to wear, our spherical bushings can tackle these challenges. These units can help prevent wear and lubrication problems so you’ll achieve a long bearing life and keep maintenance and repair costs low. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e3BZsX7y #motioncontrol #engineering #machinedesign

Have you checked out our bearing configurator yet? This tool guides you through filter criteria like bearing type, structure, material, load ratings and sizing information. Then, based on your choices, it generates a list of IKO parts that meet your criteria. Try it out: https://lnkd.in/eCxwgG_b #bearing #motioncontrol #onlinetool #configurator #engineering

In many robotic surgeries, arms are tightly positioned above the operating table. Inside the end effectors that handle the instruments and imaging devices, crossed roller bearings (CRB) must provide precise rotational motion to enhance the surgeon’s dexterity. They must also fit into increasingly smaller designs. Learn how our CRBs fit the bill in these applications: https://lnkd.in/e6AmWhy6 #robotics #surgicalrobots #motioncontrol #engineering

A life sciences equipment manufacturer turned to IKO when it needed a low-maintenance linear guide assembly. The linear guide would provide smooth, repeatable motion for a new line of air pipettes for the company's automated liquid handling instruments. Learn more about this application in our blog post: https://lnkd.in/eQciNGpe #motioncontrol #lifesciences #automation #liquidhandling

Specifying and implementing the right motion components for automated electric vehicle (EV) operations — such as battery production — can be challenging. Here are some potential problems system designers may encounter and how IKO can help: https://lnkd.in/dd6Nb4c6 #electricvehicles #motioncontrol #manufacturing #EV #automation

Did you know our CFL line of polymer-type cam followers offers up to 33% outer ring size reduction versus conventional resin cam followers? At the same time, it offers high radial load capability and cleanliness. Read more about the CFL Series in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/dQvQenGz #camfollowers #motioncontrol #polymers #engineering

Read our white paper to explore some of the basic concepts and characteristics about cam followers, including their advantages and disadvantages, load handling capabilities, construction and more: https://lnkd.in/eDewAEtb #whitepaper #motioncontrol #engineering #machinedesign

Sometimes cam follower manufacturers press-fit a layer of resin onto the cam follower’s large outer ring to further increase its diameter. While the ring's larger diameter enhances radial load capacity, its thickness makes it difficult to design into constrained spaces in, for example, semiconductor and medical equipment. Our latest blog post introduces you to a polymer-type cam follower with a space-saving outer ring design that also offers exceptional lubricity and shock absorption properties: https://lnkd.in/dQvQenGz #motioncontrol #camfollower #semiconductor #medical #machinedesign
