V-Guide Wheel Roller Bearings
V-groove guide wheel bearings are utilized in a range of linear and rotary motion applications. These bearings provide a low-noise, low friction, smooth, and long-lasting solution for linear movement systems. V-guide wheel roller bearings utilize precision tracks and accessories for optimal operation with minimal energy consumption. The 90° dual-vee design allows for a natural whipping action, clearing debris and optimally functioning the system. We offer these bearings in a wide range of configurations and materials to suit almost any application. Utilizing a dual-vee bearing system creates an easy to maintain and economical method for movement. We also stock and supply all of the different track configurations, bushings, covers, and more!

V-Guide Wheel Roller Bearing Information
V-Groove Guide Wheel Sizes
The below charts show standard stock sizes in each configuration, for custom bearings please contact us.
The original guide wheels are designated with W_ and W_X for the part numbers. W_ part numbers are Shielded, and W_X part numbers are Sealed/ Shielded.
Stainless steel original guide wheels are made for corrosive conditions and are commonly found in medical, scientific, food, and beverage applications; the wheel bearing is made from 440C stainless steel, and the retainers are made from nylon 6,6.
Studded polymer wheels are utilized in corrosive environments or applications requiring low noise bearings. Some of these applications include electronics, scientific equipment, and medical applications.
Vacuum wheels are made for vacuum environments and are typically found in material science applications.
Washdown V-Guide bearing wheels are made from high-quality 440C stainless steel and have Nylon ball retainers. These wheels are made for washdown equipment, food processing, and pharmaceutical equipment.
These v-guide wheel bearings are food grade and pharisaical grade; they are utilized in good and pharma processing and handling equipment.
Extreme temperature wheels are made for high temp or low temp applications. Common applications include aerospace, refrigeration, baking, welding, and cutters.

Track Lubricators utilize a premium white wool felt for dispursing light-weight synthetic oil onto the track, the felt holder is made from high-quality AISI 300 stainless steel as well as the mounting hardware.
 Track Lubricator Sizes:
Minvee Linear Slide System
The Minvee linear slide systems made from Bishop-Wisecarver are miniature guides that consist of 1.75" wide by 2" long wheel plates that utilize AISI 52100 carbon steel or polymer wheels and double vee-edge guide tracks. It's important to note that when used with available 6063-T6 aluminium track support extrusion, assembled height is 0.788". MinVee double-edge track is also available in AISI 1045 carbon steel in six standard lengths up to 36.5" with mounting holes predrilled. Axial working capacities are 121.4 lbf for steel wheels and 15 lbf for polymer wheel versions. The Minvee systems can be found in many applications such as; semiconductor, laboratory, and medical applications with compact space requirements.
MinVee Wheel Plates
Wheel plates consist of two concentric and two eccentric DualVee studded wheels with an anodized aluminium wheel plate that has a stainless steel lubricator housing and felt lubricator pads. The below chart shows the standard configuration options, but custom configurations are available upon request.
