Corrosion Resistance
If moisture, corrosive gases, or chemical vapours are present in the operating environment, Linear Ways are susceptible to rust and corrosion, which can lead to increased friction, premature wear, reduced positioning accuracy, and environmental contamination. In severe cases, corrosion can cause pitting on raceways and rolling elements, resulting in abnormal noise and eventual failure.
Stainless Steel Linear Way
IKO Linear Way lineup includes products with stainless steel parts instead of carbon steel. As stainless steel is more rust-resistant than carbon steel, it is optimal for applications where oil and rust-prevention oil are not preferred. It is also suitable for use in a cleanroom environment, so use IKO clean grease that helps prevent dust generation.

Hybrid C-Lube Linear Ways
While maintenance free performance of C-Lube Linear Way ML is maintained, the silicon nitride ceramics ball improves high-speed performance and reduces noise level.
Ceramics has more resistance to deformation and more rigidity than bearing steel and stainless steel.
Non-magnetic Stainless Steel
Linear Roller Ways
The non-magnetic stainless Linear Roller Way Super X is the world's first non-magnetic stainless steel endless-motion roller-type linear motion rolling guide to achieve a relative magnetic permeability of 1.01 or less. This is accomplished through the dedicated development of silicon nitride ceramic cylindrical rollers and non-magnetic stainless steel casings and track rails. Despite being a non-magnetic material, it still maintains the superior vibration characteristics, excellent running accuracy, and friction properties of the Linear Roller Way Super X. This allows for accurate and rapid positioning in environments with minimal magnetic interference.
