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.

V-Guide Wheels are available in multiple material and sealing configurations to accommodate different operating environments:
V-Guide Wheels are installed using specialized bushings, which provide stability and allow precise fit adjustments:
The bushings are made from 303 stainless steel and available with inch or metric hardware for flexible integration into various system designs.
V-Guide Wheels are well-suited for a wide range of industries and applications requiring precise linear motion:
The V-Wheel roller bearings in PBC Linear V-Guides deliver exceptional performance, precision, and durability for linear motion systems. Available in 4 industry standard sizes, made of various types of steel, and with several sealing options, their dual-row construction and compatibility with eccentric and standard bushings ensure efficient, low-maintenance operation.
