BRAND OVERVIEW - IKO
TFL Bearings: High quality bearings, an ideal choice to replace IKO.
A Microcosm of Advancements in the Bearing Industry
The brand development of IKO is closely related to the early development of the Japanese bearing industry: IKO was the first company in Japan to independently research and produce needle roller bearings. This not only laid the foundation for IKO’s leading position in the field of needle roller bearings, but also marked a milestone for Japan in this field.
The company name of IKO is derived from its core philosophy: Innovation, Know-how and Originality. This core philosophy not only showcases IKO’s corporate image and development direction, but also creates a unique competitive edge for its products in the market.
A Pioneer in Precision Motion Control
Building on its foundation in needle roller bearing development, IKO has extended its business to include linear motion rolling guides, such as linear guides and ball splines. It’s clear that IKO sees itself not just as a parts supplier, but as a trusted expert in providing motion control solutions.
This vision isn’t just words. Driven by a relentless pursuit of precision and operating under demanding industrial conditions, IKO’s products have come to represent stability and accuracy in the industry. In R&D, IKO embraces innovation across all areas, pushing boundaries even further. For some products, IKO sets bearing requirements that surpass industry norms, ensuring its place at the forefront of technological advancement.
Specialist in Linear Guides and Needle Bearings
Just as Timken is closely associated with high load capacity, when it comes to linear guides and needle roller bearings, IKO is often one of the first names that comes to mind.
With a strong commitment to innovation, IKO has dedicated itself to advancing these fields. Among its offerings, the C-Lube self-lubricating linear guide stands out. Thanks to its unique capillary lubrication technology, this product ensures long-lasting maintenance-free operation while preventing oil splashing and leakage. This makes it an excellent choice for environments where cleanliness is critical, such as cleanrooms.
