## Key takeaways

- Nexen Group introduced the UniTrax motor-ready linear axis in nominal 1-meter and 1.5-meter lengths, with custom lengths shorter than 1.5 meters available on request.
- Nexen estimates UniTrax can save approximately 19 hours of labor compared with sizing, designing and assembling individual components.
- UniTrax delivers zero backlash, repeatability of ±20 micrometers and speeds up to 4 m/s, and it operates without lubrication at speeds up to 1 m/s.

Nexen Group, Inc. introduced the UniTrax motor-ready linear axis, a configurable linear motion system built on its Roller Pinion System, on November 11, 2026, according to [24-7 Press Release](https://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-release/540369/nexen-launches-unitrax-motor-ready-linear-axis-for-faster-linear-motion-system-integration). The company estimates the axis can save approximately 19 hours of labor compared with sizing individual components, designing mounting features, and separately assembling and installing the components.

## What the UniTrax Axis Includes

[Nexen Group](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000coqp/nexen-group) designed UniTrax for original equipment manufacturers, machine builders, and system integrators. The system combines the RPS drive system, a guide rail, and a carriage plate; the customer supplies the servo motor, gearhead if needed, and cable management system. Customers can specify the axis length and planned gearhead so Nexen configures the system for specific applications.

UniTrax is available in nominal 1-meter and 1.5-meter lengths, and custom lengths shorter than 1.5 meters are available upon request. The clamp-collar design accepts shaft diameters of up to 22 mm, accommodating gearheads through the Stober P4 size as well as gearheads with smaller shafts. For applications requiring additional load support, the customer can add a second guide rail and a larger carriage plate.

Nexen states that UniTrax delivers zero backlash, repeatability of ±20 micrometers, and positional accuracy up to ±80 micrometers in a fully supported top-mount configuration. The axis reaches speeds of up to 4 m/s and provides an average thrust capacity of 1,000 N and a static thrust capacity of 2,000 N. It can operate without lubrication at speeds of up to 1 m/s, which Nexen says suits both dirty and clean environments.

Craig Pellin, vice president of sales and marketing at Nexen Group, said: "Customers wanted the performance of our Roller Pinion System without having to engineer and assemble every part of the axis themselves. UniTrax gives them a configurable axis that reduces integration work and helps them move more quickly toward a production-ready machine."

Nexen developed the product after an initial voice-of-customer survey identified the need for a more complete system that would reduce component sizing, mounting design, and assembly work normally completed by customers. Potential applications include Cartesian robots, food-processing equipment, custom drilling and cutting systems, gantry routers, nondestructive testing and measurement systems, laser and plasma cutting, welding, woodworking, and multiheaded systems operating on a common axis.

## Nexen's Earlier Product Launches

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Nexen launched the Evolve Electric Servomotor Brake in March 2024, a spring-engaged, electrically-released brake with zero backlash and a double-sided friction interface. In July 2023, the company launched the X-Line of Rotary Indexers, which delivers up to three times more torque and greater moment load capacity than standard designs through a redesigned roller pinion and larger gear pitch.

The same records describe Nexen as a privately-held, family-owned US manufacturer of precision motion control and power transmission components, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. Its products are available through worldwide sales and distributor outlets, with sales offices in Belgium, Japan, and Australia.

## Where to Configure UniTrax

Nexen directs customers to its UniTrax product page to discuss a configuration for a specific application.
