NB Corporation of America Linear Systems

Long the manufacturing leader of highest quality linear motion products in Japan, NB has unique product designs and attention to detail. It approaches linear motion needs with fresh approaches. NB systems use the recirculating movement of ball or roller elements to provide smooth and accurate linear travel while minimizing size and weight, providing superior performance in high-precision equipment. Products are characterized by low friction and low noise. Total systems or individual components. Downloadable CAD of all ball splines, round shaft products such as slide shafts, slide way products including tables, gonio ways, slide tables, actuators, slide rotary bush products, as well as flanged products, off-the-shelf case hardened tapped and threaded shaft, mounted units and mounting accessories from website and “NB Linear” mobile app.

From the unique non-slip crossed-roller bearing (STUDROLLERTM) to the highest load capacity self-aligning bushing (TOPBALL® Ultimate) Nippon Bearing has produced innovations that work flawlessly because they are machined to the tightest tolerances. Their reliability meets the demanding standards of medical equipment OEMs as well as semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Their on-time delivery is also reliable because they ship by air not sea. With 85 years of manufacturing experience, they have established a culture of adopting the most advanced manufacturing and quality control systems available, implemented by veteran engineers and machinists. The Application Engineers at NB are able to direct the customization of their linear motion products to help end-users improve their products. This personalized attention is the foundation of customer loyalty that has built their enviable reputation.

Slide Way Ends Slippage
NB STUDROLLER™ crossed-roller linear bearing is perfect for motion control applications with extremely fast acceleration and deceleration (at dimensions ranging from 30-600mm lengths). NB, by placing studs in the center roller and machining a correspondingly dimpled path in the rail, has produced a retainer that never slips. (Patent Pending)
NB’s TOPBALL® slide products offer 27 times more travel life to automation equipment. Having 3X the load capacity, they minimize space requirements. TOPBALL® self-aligns, has floating wiper seals, adjustable clearance, low friction and low noise. Choose total systems or individual components – metric or inch.
