Rollon :: Precision Linear Guides, Telescopic Rails, Actuators & Complete Motion Systems

Rollon is a global leader in linear motion systems with over 50 years of experience in developing high-performance components and solutions for industrial automation and robotics. Headquartered in Italy and operating as part of The Timken Company since 2018, Rollon specializes in precision linear guides, telescopic rails, actuators, and complete motion systems. The company serves industries including robotics and automation, material handling, aerospace, packaging, machine tools, and healthcare through a wide portfolio of engineered solutions.

Rollon’s robot-based products focus on extending the reach and flexibility of robotic systems. Its Robot Transfer Units (RTU) are a core offering, providing modular, steel or aluminum platforms that allow industrial robots to move along linear axes quickly and accurately. These units accommodate various robot sizes and are engineered for high repeatability, heavy payloads, and demanding environments. A newer development is the Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU), designed specifically for collaborative robots, enabling safe, precise linear motion that significantly expands collaborative robot workspaces without compromising safety systems.

Additional robotics solutions include Multi-Axis Systems that combine linear units into ready-to-use Cartesian or gantry configurations for pick-and-place, assembly, and material handling tasks. Circular Systems offer ring or oval configurations for continuous or indexed motion in automated cells. Rollon also supplies advanced actuators, ball screws, and curved guides that integrate seamlessly with robot arms for custom applications. All systems emphasize modularity, quick delivery (some Made in the USA), customization, and compatibility with major robot brands.

With a strong emphasis on engineering support and vertical integration, Rollon helps manufacturers improve robot productivity, reduce cycle times, and optimize floor space in high-volume automation environments.
