Create precise, controlled movement in machinery with IKO linear motion products from ACORN®, an authorised UK distributor. The range includes linear guide rails and carriages, miniature guides, linear bearings, ball splines and ball screw assemblies.
IKO components are designed for applications where smooth travel, accurate positioning and dependable guidance matter. From compact equipment to industrial machinery, browse the range online or ask ACORN’s linear motion specialists for help with product selection.
IKO guide systems pair a rail with a carriage to provide guided linear travel. Options include ball guide assemblies, roller guide assemblies and miniature linear guides, so the system can be matched to the available space and application requirements.
Where installation space is limited, miniature guides provide a compact option for precise movement. Consider the required load, travel and mounting arrangement when selecting a size and configuration.
IKO ball splines guide a nut along a splined shaft. They can provide linear movement while transmitting rotational force, making them useful in applications that require both types of motion.
Ball screws convert rotary input into controlled linear travel. An assembly may be suitable where accurate positioning and repeatable movement are important.
IKO linear bearings support movement along a shaft or guide system. Check shaft dimensions, load requirements and the installation arrangement when identifying a suitable bearing.
IKO linear motion products are used in a variety of industries, including machine tools, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, medical equipment and solar applications. The correct product depends on the performance requirements of the machine—not just the component dimensions.
When comparing options, consider:
IKO products are marketed by Nippon Thompson, which became Japan’s first manufacturer of needle roller bearings in 1959. The company introduced its first Linear Way rolling guide in 1978, extending its expertise from bearings into linear motion products.

The range includes linear guide rails and carriages, ball and roller guide assemblies, miniature guides, linear bearings, ball splines and ball screw assemblies.
Both guide a carriage along a rail. Ball and roller designs differ in construction and performance characteristics, so the right choice depends on the load, rigidity, accuracy and operating conditions required. ACORN can help you compare suitable options.
The IKO part number is the best starting point. If it is unavailable, provide the component dimensions and details of the load, movement and operating environment.
