Injection molding is a machining method in which materials such as plastics are heated, melted and then poured into molds. Since this process is efficient at manufacturing parts from simple to complex in large quantities and for many industries, it is used to make electronic parts, mobile phone parts, optical discs, medical equipment, PET bottles as well as everyday necessities.

Injection molding machines include an electric type (using servo motors), a hydraulic type (using hydraulic motors), and a hybrid type (combining servo motors and hydraulic motors). The electric type has become increasingly more in demand because it can be used in clean rooms and it is energy efficient. In electric injection molding machines, even higher reliability is required, and a linear motion rolling guide with high load capacity is an essential part of the mechanical drive section.
