IKO is well-known for its high-quality bearing products, particularly for industrial applications. The company (a part of Nippon Thompson Co., Ltd., established in 1950 in Japan) specializes in precision bearings, linear motion rolling guides, and specialized mechanical components. Here are the primary types of bearings offered by IKO:
1. Needle Roller Bearings: IKO specializes in needle roller bearings, which are characterized by their small cylindrical rollers that offer high load capacity and are ideal for applications with limited space.
2. Linear Motion Bearings: IKO offers a range of bearings designed for linear motion applications.
3. Cam Followers: Cam followers are used to follow cam profiles and transfer motion.
4. Roller Followers: These are similar to cam followers but use cylindrical rollers for higher load capacity.
5. Spherical Bushings: Used in applications where angular movement and oscillation occur.
