Maintenance Free Linear Motion

July 29, 2016
Sponsored by IKO
Various takes on maintenance free linear guides and ways have been around for years now, but not all of them are created equal. Some focus on achieving the longest possible maintenance free intervals. Others focus on adding as little as possible to the size of the bearing's mechanical package. IKO's C-Lube linear guides have a unique design that balances both of these key objectives. C-Lube linear guides provide maintenance free operation for 20,000 km or five years-a maintenance free term that often equates to the entire application life. For a more detailed overview of how C-Lube works to extend linear guide life, download this white paper.
