IKO Technology Capillary Technology
Long-term maintenance-free running with oil in "C-Lube" only
The innovative capillary lubrication technology using the capillary action (capillarity) is the IKO's original technology. It enables long-term running of products without additional lubricant supply and maintenance. It can greatly contribute to the environment of the earth, either.
Lubricating part C-Lube and lubrication mechanism
Lubricating part "C-Lube" and lubrication mechanism
"C-Lube" is made by sintering fine resin powders onto sleeves or plates. The sintered resin part contains lots of communicating pores. The pores can hold a great amount of lubricating oil due to the capillary action (capillarity). By assembling "C-Lube" in Linear Motion Rolling Guides, IKO has lined up the oil-minimum C-Lube maintenance-free series.
Lubricating Oil Supplying Mechanism of C-Lube Linear Way
4 features
1.Maintenance-free
This endures running over 20,000 km without oil feeding with lubrication oil in the C-Lube only. Furthermore, grease is pre-packed in the slide unit so long period maintenance free can be realized.
2.Ecology
As lubrication oil in C-Lube is supplied by the amount necessary to maintain lubrication performance of the rolling guide, the consumption of lubrication oil is reduced and lubrication performance is maintained even when it run for a long period.
3.Compact
As C-Lube Linear Way and C-Lube Linear Roller Way are integrated with lubrication part C-Lube, their slide units are not long unlike types with external lubrication parts. Replacement of conventional parts is easy free from constraints of mounting space and stroke length.
4.Smooth
C-Lube Linear Way and C-Lube Linear Roller Way do not generate slide resistance unlike lubrication parts external to the slide unit that make contact with the track rail. Driving force follow-up property is superior and energy is saved by improvement of accuracy and reduction of friction loss.

High quality, high performance products manufactured by IKO.
Introducing IKO original technologies,"ALL IKO's own."
Capillary Technology
"C-Lube," IKO's original lubricating part, using the capillary action (capillarity). "C-Lube" can minimize the quantity of required lubricant and realize maintenance-free products. "C-Lube" can greatly contribute to the environment of the earth.
Interchange Specification
Due to IKO's unique and high machining technology and strict dimensional management of slide units and track rails, unparalleled highly interchangeable products can be realized. You can order whatever you want, whenever you want, and as much as you want.
Small Sizing
Simple structure and compact design based on proprietary down-sizing technology. Even in case of extremely small size products, high performance and high quality are realized.
Roller Technology
In comparison with ball bearings, rollers have minimal elastic deformations in terms of load. Taking full advantage of these characteristics, smooth operation, high reliability, high rigidity, and high accuracy were realized.
Extra Long Unit
IKO have greatly improved the load capacity and run-outs of the long unit by extending conventional long units without changing the sectional dimensions. This can downsize the guide mechanism and improve the performance without re-designing the units.
Special Environments
With IKO's special ideas and experiences, IKO have lineups of various products for special environments. You can select products fit for your requirement.
