About THK

Established in 1971 in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan, THK originated as Toho Seiko Co., Ltd. and has since become a world-renowned brand in the development of linear motion (LM) technology.

The name “THK” represents the company’s three core values: 

• Toughness
• High Quality
• Know-how

With a philosophy of sustainable development and continuous innovation, THK has made a profound impact on the modern mechanical and automation industries.

In 1972, THK became the first company in the world to successfully develop and commercialize the Linear Motion (LM) Guide System. This innovation marked a technological breakthrough in reducing friction, increasing precision, and enhancing the performance of electromechanical equipment.

Today, THK operates over 40 manufacturing facilities worldwide, spanning Japan, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, expanding its influence across all sectors of manufacturing and daily life.

Why LM Guide Technology is a Revolution

Before THK’s linear motion technology was introduced, machines typically relied on sliding mechanisms for linear movement, which caused significant friction, rapid wear, and high energy consumption. 

In contrast, THK’s Caged Ball LM Guide System uses rolling contact to drastically reduce friction, enabling machines to operate more smoothly, quickly, and with higher precision.

Although THK products may come at a higher price than other linear motion products on the market, their superior performance justifies the investment. Key advantages of LM Guide:

• High durability with minimal maintenance
• Smooth and stable operation
• Fast motion speeds
• Low particle generation, environmentally friendly
• Ultra-precise motion down to micro and nano levels
