Overcoming Application Challenges
NSK engineers help you improve uptime, precision, and efficiency—whatever your constraints.
Contamination Control
Cleanroom‑ready designs and specialty greases help protect performance in sensitive environments (e.g., Linear guides with K1 and LG2 clean grease for semiconductor applications).
Misalignment & Vibration
Engineered preload and optimized geometry maintain accuracy and reduce system stress (i.e. Ball screws with support units).
High Load / High Speed
Components built to handle demanding cycles and heavy forces (like linear guides with high‑load groove design or high‑speed ball screws).
Limited Space
Compact, integrated modules available to simplify installation .
Harsh Environments
Options designed for vacuum, high temperature, or non‑magnetic conditions.
Service & Availability
Local support and stocked components shorten lead times (Quick Ship options available for select linear guides).

NSK AXIS Series Linear Actuators
NSK’s AXIS series combines high speed, high force, and ultra-precise positioning in a compact, modular single-axis platform. Built on NSK’s expertise in ball screws, linear guides, and support bearings, AXIS actuators integrate easily into new or existing automation systems.
Two Drive Technologies
- LMAX – Linear Motor Drive for ultra-high speed and sub-micron positioning
- BMAX – Ball Screw Drive for powerful force output and high mechanical efficiency
Why AXIS Stands Out
- Compact, modular design simplifies installation and system integration
- Compatible with a wide range of servo and stepper motors
- Multiple datum planes ensure precise, repeatable mountin
- Long-life NSK ball screw and linear guide technology for reliable performance
