V-Wheels for V-Guide series linear rail systems feature a dual-row angular contact design, available in three variants: shielded carbon steel (VW), permanently sealed and lubricated carbon steel (VWS), and stainless steel (VWSS). Constructed from 52100 bearing steel or 420 stainless steel, these v-rollers deliver durability and smooth motion on linear rails. The sealed variants include standard nitrile rubber seals to retain heat and block contaminants. Offered in outer diameter sizes of 20, 30, 45, and 60 mm, these V-Wheels support concentric or eccentric bushings for flexible alignment.
