Guide linear shafts - precision starts with the details

In machine building, assembly lines or transport systems, it is often the details that determine reliability. One such detail is the guide linear shaft. It is not “just a steel bar” – it is a precision guide element that ensures stability, repeatability and service life of the entire motion system.

Why off-the-shelf shafts are not enough?

Standard shafts come with limited options for mounting, end machining or fit tolerances. In practice, this forces engineers to adapt the design to the component – not the other way around. The result:

  • additional on-site machining,
  • higher assembly error risk,
  • extended commissioning time.

Custom machined guide linear shafts – engineered for your project

At Rollico, we provide custom machining of guide linear shafts, giving you full control over:

  • mounting method,
  • technical end features,
  • bores, keyways, grooves, undercuts,
  • markings according to your drawing.

What we can deliver?

  • cutting shafts to length,
  • keyway and groove machining,
  • drilling bolt holes,
  • end machining for bearings,
  • marking and identification as per drawings,
  • prototype and pilot series production.

Benefits for engineers and design teams

By matching the guide rollers to your design, you gain:

...
  • No surprises at the assembly stage.
  • Consistent quality across production batches.
  • No need for additional on-site machining.
  • Higher reliability of the complete system.
