Headquartered in Hackettstown, NJ, Rollon Corporation is an International Group that has been designing and manufacturing power transmission products since 1975. The Company has developed many families of products capable of solving a great number of problems in machine design and mechanical fields, or wherever there is the need to move machine parts using simplicity and a low coefficient of friction. 

 

The majority of Rollon products are based on the general principle of a C-shaped rail with internal raceways where, depending on the application, different types of sliders can move. The main advantages of the Rollon components compared to other linear solutions on the market is that they provide products that are designed to be straight forward, compact, efficient, effective, and economical.

COMPACT RAIL

This linear motion guide-rail system is an easy, precision roller bearing solution that allows for rail mis-alignment in both out-of-parallel and out-of-plane conditions. With the large rolling elements used inside the ROLLON Compact sliders, dirt and contamination are less of a problem than with that of recirculating-ball carriages. Since the Compact rail sliders run on an induction heat treated steel surface, they are able to move very fast, very quite, and with an extremely low coefficient of friction. The standard "NTE" style slider has a full body lateral seal, spring energized scrapers, and a felt wick reservoir at each end for complete self-lubrication. The easy preload setting for every Compact Guide-rail slider can be set according to the exact needs of the application so as to maintain stiffness and a low coefficient of friction.

  • Each of the guide-rail series is known by the dimension across the back of the rail mounting surface: 18, 18mm or .71"; 28, 28mm or 1.10"; 43, 43mm or 1.69"; 63, 63mm or 2.43"

  • P/N INFO

CURVILINE

The creativity of design engineering pushes the need for a variety of motions to the limits. Standard rotary or linear motion products do not always provide an answer. That is where the Curvi Line alternative opens a variety of design possibilities. Curvi Line is the only motion solution available that can be made to your specification. This provides you with the ultimate in creativity and flexibility. 

  • Radius as small as 120mm (4.72") 

  • Maximum rail length 3140mm (123.6") 

  • Standard curves of 45° and 90° 

  • Constant radius curves 

  • Variable and multiple radius rails

  • P/N INFO

  • Zinc-plated rails bent to your specification in low quantities 

  • 3 or 4 lubed for life, high precision rollers 

  • Specially designed "swivel sliders" provide consistent motion 

  • Loads from 400N (90 lbf) to 1130N (254 lbf) 

EASYSLIDE

Simplicity is the distinguishing characteristic of the Easy Rail family of steel linear bearings. Designed to quickly and easily fit into demanding applications, these simple yet durable bearings provide engineers with innovative linear solutions designed to solve real world applications. 

They are most suitable for applications requiring a combination of compactness, smooth movement, high load capacity, versatility, and affordability. When reliability is key and ease-of-mounting take precedence over absolute precision, Easy Rail is the ideal linear motion system.

The Easyslide family contains five different sized sections: 22mm, 28mm, 35mm, 4mm, and 63mm - all of which offer linear precision of up to 100 microns and load capacities of several thousand pounds per slider. With many different slider lengths available per section, several hundred different combinations of solutions are possible.

X-RAIL

The TEX30 rail is made of 316 stainless steel, its bearings of 440 stainless steel. The bearings are sealed and grease packet for life. The none harden rails make it a breeze to modify or customize them.

The TEX30 offers linear whisper speeds of up to 60"/sec. Its radial ball bearings design allows for minimal friction between rail and bearing with a coefficient of friction of 0.01. Low friction provides excellent running characters even where other bearings bind or "stick".

​

ROLLON's size 30 X-Rail system represents one of the most suitable radial bearings design on the market presently. Yet it offers great load carrying abilities of up to 180lbs. per slider in its upright position. The rail measures a width of 1 1/8" and a height of roughly 4/5" including the slider.

TELESCOPIC RAIL

Telescopic Rail family is divided into the following types of products: Telescopic slides with hardened races; Telescopic slides with non-hardened races; and Semi-telescopic slides with rails that extend more than half of their length out of either side of the fixed part of the slide.

  • Telescopic Rails are made from cold-drawn bearing steel - never from bent sheet metal. 

  • They have hardened 60 HRc races to provide the smoothest movement at all times. 

  • They work well with shocks and vibrations that render other slides inoperative immediately. 

  • They have minimal deflection at the tip of the fully extended slide - even while carrying maximum loads. 

  • They can reach strokes of over 2 m (6.5 ft) in one direction and can double that by doing the same out the other side. 

  • Telescopic rails are also available in custom extended or reduced stroke

The Light Rail family of products comprises nylon coated steel telescopic slides, ball aluminum or steel telescopic rails.

LIGHT RAIL

Light Rail is best suited to applications where its more important to have lightweight rails than rails that can transfer high capacity loads. The Light Rail family of products offers a complete platform of light telescopic and semi-telescopic rails, all designed to provide maximum versatility. 

ECO SYSTEM

Eco System's products have been designed to fit in applications where quality movement is needed at a low price. The patented design offers a well-protected, smooth slide that is easily and quickly mounted. 

​

Eco System combines the quality associated with all of ROLLON's products with the affordability needed in application sectors like industrial protective panels, vehicle slides, and machine tool doors.

Eco System is the answer to labor intensive, homemade solutions, cheap bent steel slides, or expensive, overdesigned round or profiled shafting.

​

The products were designed to keep damaging dirt and particles out. The contact between the rollers and the raceways occurs inside the specially shaped profile, protected from accidental impacts and from debris and impurities.

UNILINE SYSTEM

The Uniline System is a belt driven actuator with compact rail bearings. The A75 Uniline offers a 275"/sec. high speed and over 20 ft. long stroke design for a wide range of applications. The A75 offers load capacities of up to 1233lbs. in radial direction a and moments of up to 1849 in-lbs. in Mz direction is prefect for applications where economics play a large factor and long strokes work against most actuators. The high speed performance do not jeopardous noise, 72DBA are very quite for this fast moving system. Its large TLV43 Compact Rail system is constructed of large radial bearings that operate on a hardened steel surface and have the ability to operate in contaminated environments. The rail is placed flat against the inside bottom of the extrusion to minimize the overall dimension 2.9" x 2.9".

MONORAIL MR

Roller guideway for the machine tool industry

​

High rigidity, great dynamic and static load carrying capacity, outstanding running smoothness and the total enclosure of the carriage are the main features of the MONORAIL guideway. These properties result in higher machining rates while enhancing geometrical accuracy and surface quality of the machined workpieces. Our highly rigid MONORAIL provides improved vibration behavior, smaller vibration amplitudes and thus extends tool life.

MONORAIL BM

BM ball guideways are reliable components for the entire range of industrial applications

​

SCHNEEBERGER's MONORAIL BM linear ball guides features excellent dynamic properties and many commercial benefits. Designed with a small number of cleverly arranged components, it provides for excellent running properties due to the small number of transitions in the ball tracks, which lead to very quiet running, low pulsation and low friction as well as high travel speeds. The use of a trapezoidal rail section results in an extremely rigid guideway coupled with a substantial reduction in servicing time as additional wipers can be changed without dismantling the carriage. Complete sealing of the carriage guarantees maximum reliability coupled with a long service life. This robust and economical guideway rounds off SCHNEEBERGER's range of products for industrial applications with high demands on speed, reliability and consistant running properties.

MONORAIL BM WR / BM SR

Ball guideway in corrosion-resistant steel for the food industry, clean room applications and more

​

They were developed specially for specifications which would exceed the requirements of ordinary coatings for linear guideways. This is the case when the performance of the product is impaired by corrosion during processes. In applications such as machines for foodstuffs, medical technology and cleanrooms, or vacuum applications, MONORAIL BM WR/SR products ensure that the operation of linear axes is clean, accurate, long-term and free of problems. Furthermore, the MONORAIL WR/SR has the same tried and tested properties of the MONORAIL BM, such as the most effective operating characteristics, high travel speeds and a long operating life.

MONORAIL BZ

Schneeberger offers linear guideway systems - profiled linear guideways with integrated rack and pinion drive

​

Schneeberger's MONORAIL BZ systems are high-precision linear guide systems with integral rack drive, based on the company's proven MONORAIL BM profile guideways with balls. The design of the MONORAIL BZ provides for superb operating characteristics, high load-bearing capacity and rigidity together with a long service life thanks to the use of the tried-and-tested MONORAIL BM profile guideway and to the high transmittable forces, smooth running and optimum positioning accuracy offered by ground, hardened and precise helical gearing of superlative quality.

MINIRAIL / MINI-X
