Hybrids & Special Material
Our Core business - Hybrids and upgradesWe create and utilize ideas for products, made in special materials, so they match the environment your applications run in. Upgrading standard products to unique high performance products, save your company money, down-time and maintenance costs. Hybrid products are mostly known from the bearing industry, where the steel balls are replaced by Silicon Nitrid balls. This will expand the lifetime with minimum 4-8 times. LINROX has adopted this technology to Linear motion products and added even more upgrade options. This is our core business!
We can build your "Rolls Royce" Guideways!!!
LINROX is the first mover when it comes to offering linear guideways in standard dimensions, but in unique materials such as 316L! This stainless steel type is extremely resistant to contamination, such as most chemical substances and solvents. The catch is, of course, the lower load-carrying capacity. For applications where AISI 440C (typical "stainless steel") doesn't do the job, all standard guideways can be offered in true stainless 316L material.
Other exotic materials:
- zirconium oxide
- silicon nitride
- Silicon carbide
- Aluminum oxide
- Aluminum nitride
- Boron nitride
- Boron carbide
- Ruby
- Sapphire
- Macor
- Composites
- Fibre-reinforced ceramics
- AISI 440C (stainless hardend)
- SUS 316L (stainless/acid proof)
LINROX Hybrid solutions -
You may already have noticed, LINROX is all about combining unique materials. We upgrade standard components to the best fit for your application. We are experts in designing products that perform under extreme circumstances, such as highly contaminated areas, salt water, submerged environments, high and low temperatures, acid exposure, vacuum, or space. We work with Si3N4 ceramics, PEEK, 316L, 440C, special lubricants & coatings, and more.

Hybrid or ceramic bearings
We have been working with hybrid bearings for many years and see ourselves as specialists in this area. We take pride in representing some of the best and most innovative manufacturers of high prcecision quality products - both in the components used and in the craftsmanship involved in their production and assembly process. Our Partners customize all our bearings solutions, so they fit exactly to our customers and their needs.
Our definition of a hybrid bearing is a bearing with steel rings and ceramic rolling elements. All other parameters can vary though, rings could be in different alloys, coated, seals can vary, lubricants can vary, and so on.
Our Partner offers the flexibility to customize all these variations to suit the application 100%, and all this in a short lead time.
LINROX Coatings
Providing a wide range of coating solutions, including hard chrome, black chrome, and more. Share specific challenges, and a tailored solution will be developed.
- Manganese phosphate coating
- Supreme hard chrome coating
- Industrial-grade black chrome coating (Raydent)
- Primary chrome coating
- Lubrication-free coatings
Hybrid Bearings
In production equipment, it's quite often the bearings that fail - sometimes with foreseeable intervals, sometimes when you really don't need it.
You can prevent this by installing a Hybrid Bearing solution next time. But why should you choose hybrid bearings? Hybrid Bearings are optimized to give the very best performance in their specific operating environment, improving performance, quality, and consistency in production.
In production equipment, regular service intervals are required to prevent equipment failures. The bearings must be checked and regreased, if necessary, but sometimes they fail anyway from wear or periods with less-than-optimal lubrication conditions.
