V-Guide Systems are an industry standard for linear motion, and offer features that make them an ideal solution for a wide range of motion control applications.
PBC Linear’s V-Guide components offer an excellent solution for linear applications ranging from very clean to the harshest environments. Considered an industry standard for linear motion, V-Guide components are an ideal versatile solution for a wide range of motion control applications.
They provide smooth and quiet travel at speeds up to 8 m/s where accuracy requirements are medium.
