V-Rail

Wheel Roller Bearings, Rails & Bushings

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.

  • Radial loads up to 9.9N (2246 lbs) per wheel
  • Axial loads up to 2.3N (520 lbs) per wheel
  • Permanently sealed and lubricated
  • Precision dual row angular contact design
  • Available in 52100 bearing steel or 420 stainless steel
  • Available with shielded, 304 stainless steel or nitrile rubber seals
  • Temperature rating up to 80C (180F)
  • Available with concentric or eccentric wheel bushings in inch or metric sizing

V-Guide Wheels are precision ground, dual row angular contact ball bearings with hardened outer way surfaces that provide low friction guidance for linear motion applications. They can be used with internal or external 90-degree ways or used with round shafts.

  • Four sizes
  • Permanently sealed and lubricated
  • Precision dual row bearing construction
  • Available in 52100 bearing steel or 420 stainless steel construction
  • 304 stainless steel shields or nitrile rubber seals

Rails are induction hardened, ground, and polished. The track body is left soft for easy drilling of mounting holes. Four sizes are designed to correspond with wheel sizes.

  • Has shoulder for simple mounting and alignment
  • Induction hardened way surface
  • 1045 carbon steel or 400 series stainless steel
  • Optional black oxide finish
  • Rails are cut to length, MAX length up to 6 m
  • 303 stainless steel construction
  • Inch or metric hardware
  • Adjustable bushings allow adjustable fit and preload
  • Fixed bushings are used in the primary radial load direction
