Rollon is a leading international provider of linear motion solutions, i.e. linear and telescopic guides, actuators and complex gantry systems. The way we work is very simple: we listen to our partners, capture their needs, requirements, challenges and concerns and work closely with them to choose the best solution for their next motion application. The efficiency and performance of each application is always the goal. But what other variables should be taken into consideration so that production efficiency does not overshadow constructive, economic and maintenance efficiency? We have learned to answer these questions and more. Thanks to 45 years of experience in the market, we gained the skills and know-how to pick up on things that an be the key to every designer, but may appear nuances to the unexperienced eye.
Linear Guides
In medium-precision applications, the right precision bearing can solve the greatest threats to a linear motion system’s lifetime.
Linear Guides
When it comes to adding linear motion to a fixture, designers have to take a close look at the motion system’s rail construction. Linear guides and telescopic linear guides are typically made from two types of...
Linear Guides
When airline passengers travel in coach class, expectations are fairly low with regard to comfort. For example, most seats only offer two positions, straight for takeoff and landing, and a slight recline for the journey.
Coach seats are relatively simple and lightweight structures compared to their...
Rollon Telescopic Rail moves 2,500 pounds of cantilevered materials and machine to mold helicopter parts.
Linear Actuators, Multi-Axis Systems
Rollon Corporation now manufactures linear actuators capable of providing a seventh axis of motion to anthropomorphic six-axis robotic arms with a curb weight of up to five-thousand pounds! Seventh-Axis systems — part of our Actuator Line Series — offer a host of customizable features to meet the...
Linear Guides
Designed for effective linear movement in a wide range of applications such as the loading and unloading systems of machine tools and long assembly lines, our compact Telescopic Actuator reduces lead times and minimizes stress on mechanical components.

As you probably know, telescopic rails are an essential component for carrying high loads at full extension in applications such as industrial warehouses and medical imaging systems. At Rollon, we offer several robust options with hardened raceways that minimize deflection under heavy loads.
Linear motion
On the surface, it may seem like choosing the right actuator for a given application is an easy task. In reality, however, much more goes into selecting a reliable actuator than some engineers and system integrators may be aware of.
Our latest white paper will help you avoid the most common...
Linear Guides
Deciding between a gantry and a robot for your application isn’t always as clear-cut as it may seem. To automate a simple, yet time-consuming and potentially dangerous task in its factory, a company that makes particleboards weighed the benefits of using a gantry system against a robot system.

Pre-engineered system enables out-of-the-box functionality. Specifying a robot system can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. When a Cartesian system is the best choice, consider a pre-engineered system.
