PBC Linear (a Pacific Bearing Company) was founded in 1983 following the invention of the patented Simplicity self-lubricating plain linear bearing, engineered to solve premature failure in linear ball bearing applications. Headquartered in Roscoe, Illinois, the company operates a 14,000-square-meter manufacturing facility dedicated to precision engineering, automated machining, and system assembly.
PBC Linear has grown into an international designer and manufacturer of friction-reducing linear motion components, mechatronics, and multi-axis Cartesian robotic systems. Its engineering team supports custom prototyping, pilot builds, and scalable production runs, adhering to RoHS and REACH environmental compliance standards.
