Celebrating 40 Years of Linear Motion Solutions
This year, PBC Linear marks 40 years of engineering linear motion solutions. Since our founding in 1983, PBC Linear has surpassed many business milestones for growth, brought an abundance of innovative achievements to the marketplace, and provided engineering expertise to customers around the globe. As we continue to evolve, our vision and commitment to long-term investments and established core values will position PBC Linear and its customers for future successes.

40 Years of Innovation
The story of PBC Linear begins with an innovative solution to a common issue with linear ball bearings. The result is the creation and eventual patent for our iconic red Simplicity bearing. During the last four decades, that successful plain bearing design has spurred innovation and a substantial portfolio of linear motion products and automation processes that help simplify customer applications and reduce costs. In fact, fifty percent of our yearly revenue can be attributed to products that are designated as either proprietary or that we currently hold patents on.
