Essentials for the best – for the Medical- and Biotechnology market
In 1923 the foundations of current global linear motion technology were laid by the first linear guideways developed by SCHNEEBERGER, which has been making linear motion products for more than 90 years ago. In 1945 SCHNEEBERGER once again innovated linear technology, this time with the invention of the linear roller guide. We have developed upon this effective principle of linear guidance significantly in the last several years thanks to the integrated cage controls. The same concepts that resulted in our success still apply today: innovative spirit, an uncompromising striving for quality, and the ambition to always provide our customers with new, technically and economically superior products. Today, SCHNEEBERGER continues to be a leader, constructing linear guideways that set new standards in terms of durability, reliability, and efficiency, and has since remained at the top of a highly competitive market. The name SCHNEEBERGER is synonymous with modern linear guide technology throughout the world. At its most important production locations in Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic, SCHNEEBERGER is focused on investing in constant quality increases and cost optimisations. With additional production plants in China, SCHNEEBERGER is also near to its customers in places where the markets are developing particularly dynamically. SCHNEEBERGER is unique in the global linear motion technology market. We are an independent, medium-sized company and this forms the basis for a dynamic, customer-oriented, and correspondingly successful business strategy.
SCHNEEBERGER serves original equipment manufacturers operating (OEM) in various industries worldwide – from machine tool, medical technology and semiconductor technology to biotechnology and others. Linear bearings, profiled linear guideways, measuring systems, gear racks, ball screws, slides, positioning systems, and mineral casting are all part of SCHNEEBERGER’s product and manufacturing range.




SCHNEEBERGER offers high-precision linear technology with an emphasis on applications in medical- and biotechnology. The focus here is on magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), computed tomography (CT), surgical microscopes, ophthalmic systems, scanner systems, liquid handling equipment, DNA plate readers, 3D printing, cell analysis systems, and dental medicine.
Precision, reliability, special designs, miniaturisation, integrated measuring systems, and application-oriented positioning systems make us the ideal supplier in these application fields.
MINIRAIL is the latest generation of miniature guides for demanding applications. They are extremely robust and prove themselves in every application with their high level of smoothness, precision, and reliability.
Based on the proven MINIRAIL miniature guideway, our MINISCALE Plus, a guide with an integrated optical position measuring system, impresses with its precision, high speeds, and accelerations in the work process, low construction effort, quick installation and adjustment, consistent accuracy, and a long lifetime. These properties make the MINISCALE Plus the ideal partner in medical technology and biotechnology.
