PBC LINEAR COMPACT SERIES LINEAR GUIDE SYSTEMS MEDICAL AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT: The self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® bearing liner, in the plain bearing option of the Compact Series, is ideal for environments where no grease or lubrication can be present. WELL PLATE HANDLING: Compact Series installed in an intricate well plate handler—providing accurate and reliable linear motion. AUTOMATED CONVEYOR: Material handling conveyor systems utilize the Compact Series linear guide system for maintenance free, repeatable linear motion. Integrated stepper motor reduces the number of components and improves...

COMPACT SERIES LINEAR GUIDE SYSTEMS PBC LINEAR SCANNING EQUIPMENT: High precision and smooth operation are required when designing linear motion for laboratory scanning equipment. The plain bearing system utilizes FrelonGOLD ® —a self-lubricating, maintenance free surface that does not require oil. CNC ROUTER: The plain bearing version of the Compact Series is ideal for harsh, dirty environments such as a CNC router. The carriage acts as a wiper as it clears away contamination such as dust and debris from the rail. Plain bearings utilize the bonded FrelonGold® self-lubricating maintenance-free...
