PBC Linear

Lab and medical automation systems require accuracy, repeatability, low maintenance, and compact designs. The solution is smooth, reliable motion control from PBC Linear. Our Redi-Rail linear guideways are ideal for these applications. The Low Profile Redi-Rail, with its 19 mm height, is perfect when you have space limitations. Mini-Rail miniature linear guides eliminate any potential for contamination. These self-lubricating guides prevent messes. ??

How do automated laboratory systems process samples and data with greater precision and in larger volumes? Linear drive technology is critical to these advancements. Our ball screws, miniature ball screws, and other linear motion solutions ensure precise, repeatable, flexible motion control for any lab automation system, including: ?? Automated analyzers that need precise, accurate, and quick positioning ?? Desktop machines that need fine controls, compact forms, and contamination-free operation ?? Cartesian and pick-and-place robots that require smooth, precise motion for handling samples ?? Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gYypx9nx #linearmotion #labautomation #motioncontrol

PBC Linear had a great time connecting with job seekers yesterday at The Workforce Connection Job Fair! We enjoyed meeting individuals eager to explore career opportunities in manufacturing. A big thank you to everyone who attended, and to The Workforce Connection for putting together such a fantastic event!

Smooth and accurate motion are essential when selecting the right linear motion solutions for new or existing medical or laboratory applications. Lead and ball screws are great options that enable reliable, accurate, and repeatable operation while fitting into size and noise limitations. Lead screws are ideal for applications that require high torque, precision, and efficiency. They transfer loads using a sliding motion on flat surfaces and feature round or triangular nuts that are self-lubricating for maintenance-free operation over their lifespan. Ball screws and miniature ball screws are fit when high precision in a small footprint is required. They use a system of balls that create rolling contact between the screw axis and the nut for a drive torque of one-third or less compared to a regular sliding screw. ??

?? March Work Anniversaries! ?? This month, we're celebrating our amazing team members who have reached work milestones at PBC Linear. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and the positive energy you bring every day. Let's give them a big round of applause and celebrate their achievements!

?? Congratulations to Katherine, Mitchell, Joey, and Tanner! ?? On Thursday, they completed the CNC Programming/Setup/Operation class at PBC Linear! Led by Gordy Blaisdell from NIU Outreach, Engagement, and Regional Development, this 64-hour course—PBC-111—provided hands-on training on our Haas TM1P Vertical Milling Machine and ST20 Lathe. Through classroom learning and lab sessions, students gained valuable CNC machine programming, setup, and operation skills, emphasizing real-world problem-solving. Upon completion, they earned a Certificate and 64 hours credited toward the PBC Linear Apprenticeship Program! ?? Great job, everyone! Keep up the hard work!

?? Celebrating 25 Years – Happy Retirement, Denny! ?? Today, we gathered to celebrate an incredible milestone: Denny’s retirement after 25 years of hard work, dedication, and contributions to PBC Linear! Denny's expertise and teamwork have made him an integral part of our team, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he has worked with. While we are sad to see him go, we are excited for him to embark on this next chapter of his life. We wish you all the best in your well-deserved retirement, Denny!
