V-Groove Linear Rails for V-Wheel Sizes 1-4 - V-Guide Series
V-groove linear rails of the V-Guide series, that match v-wheel sizes 1-4. Available in carbon steel or stainless steel, the precision-ground surfaces of the steel V-Guide linear rails ensure low-friction movement and stability, making them ideal for factory floors where misalignment tolerance is crucial.
- Induction-hardened surfaces for extended durability
- Available in 1045 carbon steel or 400-series stainless steel
- Optional black oxide finish for corrosion resistance
- Cut to custom lengths up to 5,486.4 mm (216")
- Integrated alignment shoulder for easy installation
The V-Guide V-Wheel and Rail system offers high load capacities, low-friction operation, and durable materials. V-Wheels come in four distinct sizes, each designed to meet specific load and application needs. The wheels feature precision-ground dual-row bearings, ensuring optimal performance under high radial and axial loads.Linear Rails: Material and Design Features
Wheel Size | Diameter (mm / in.) | Weight (g / oz) | Radial Load (N / lb) | Axial Load (N / lb) |
---|---|---|---|---|
VW1 | 20 / 3/4 | 12 / 0.42 | 1,260 / 283 | 297 / 67 |
VW2 | 30 / 1 1/4 | 40 / 1.41 | 2,730 / 614 | 632 / 142 |
VW3 | 45 / 1 3/4 | 136 / 4.79 | 6,166 / 1,386 | 1,448 / 326 |
VW4 | 60 / 2 1/4 | 285 / 10 | 9,991 / 2,246 | 2,313 / 520 |
The system offers both adjustable and fixed bushings:
- Adjustable Bushings: Enable fine-tuning of preload and fit
- Fixed Bushings: Provide stability in primary radial load directions
- Constructed from 303 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
V-Guide v-wheels come in several configurations:
- Materials: 52100 bearing steel or 420 stainless steel
-
Sealing Options:
- Shielded Bearings: Protect from light contamination
- Sealed Bearings: Shield against dust and moisture
- Stainless Sealed Bearings: Ideal for corrosive environments
Installation is quick and easy due to the alignment shoulder on the rails. Adjustable bushings enable fine-tuning for preload and fit, while sealed components reduce maintenance.
