About Us

Linear Bearings was established in 1977 as Australia's first company specialising in linear motion products.

Head Office, warehousing and machine shop facilities were established and are still located in Melbourne. State sales offices were established in Sydney (1978), Brisbane (1982), Auckland NZ (1994), followed by Perth (1998) and Adelaide (2002). Tasmania is serviced from Melbourne giving the Company a true Australasian composition.

Several product lines complementary to linear products have been progressively added to our distribution over the years. These include industrial, race car and aircraft rod ends and plain spherical bearings giving Linear Bearings the largest range of these products in the country; Camco/Ferguson indexing boxes and Emerson servo drives, and recently the item range of aluminium building profile used extensively for machine structures and guarding. The latest additions are the Warner range of linear actuators, brakes and clutches and the Powerjacks range of mechanical screwjacks. Where appropriate, stocks of all products are maintained.

Staff numbers covering sales, marketing, administration and engineering exceed sixty. The company employs qualified engineers providing technical support to sales staff as well as end users.

Machine shop facilities, located in Melbourne, provide support by way of added value and repair or refurbishment of our own product lines as well as those of like design.

Being privately owned, Linear Bearings is not tied to a single manufacturer and can globally source related products to suit the needs of all resellers and end users.
