SIMO® SERIES LINEAR MOTION PLATFORM

Versatile. Flexible. Affordable. Based on the patent pending SIMO® process, the new SIMO Series Linear Platform is built on either a low profile or tall base rail with configurable bearing and drive options that can be tailored to exceed performance requirements.

• Rail & carriage components

• Integrated drive mechanism

• Custom solutions

PBC Linear has revolutionized traditional machining with the patent pending SIMO (Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation) process. The SIMO process uses synchronized cutters, eliminating built-in extrusion variances by machining all critical

edges concurrently in one pass. This ensures tight tolerances, limited variance and a remarkably straight and repeatable surface at negligible additional cost!
