About PBC Linear

PBC Linear, a Pacific Bearing Company, is a US manufacturer of linear motion components based in Roscoe, Illinois, in the Rockford area, where it has operated since 1983. The company began with the patenting of its self-lubricating plain linear bearing — the Frelon-lined Simplicity bearing — more than 40 years ago, positioning it as a reliable alternative to recirculating ball bearings in applications prone to bearing failure. Today, operating from an expansive US manufacturing facility about 90 miles west of Chicago, PBC Linear supplies precision-engineered linear bearings, guides and rails, linear actuators, precisely cut linear shafts, slew ring bearings and mechatronic systems, including products built around its SIMO extrusion process and Integral V guide technology.

Beyond components, its Applied Cobotics line offers a Cobot Feeder CNC machine-tending application kit that is a certified Universal Robots+ partner product, giving the component maker a direct presence in cobot automation. The company also formed a joint venture with MOONS' Industries to produce integrated linear actuators and systems. Its customer logos span aerospace, medical and industrial OEMs. For robotics and automation buyers, PBC Linear is a US-made linear motion source whose plain-bearing technology targets harsh, dirty or maintenance-sensitive environments where ball bearings struggle.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
