Motion Without Limits® Introduction MadeWell® Radial Wheels with precision ground 90° vee running surfaces are designed for linear guide wheel applications where simplified loading conditions exist and where an economical solution is a primary concern. They are suitable for use in factory production processes and on finished products for your customer. MadeWell® Radial Wheel (cross-section) MadeWell® Crown Rollers with precision ground curved running surfaces ensure smooth linear guidance and are designed to eliminate problems with misalignment and binding which can occur when guide tracks are...

Motion Without Limits® Application Example This assembly depicts how MadeWell® Radial Wheels and a QuickTrak® single-edge guide provide a cost-effective solution for an industrial machine tool manufacturer where metal debris and cutting fluids are present. Radial Wheels endure debris-filled environments Radial Wheels meet the criteria of a simplified radial loading scenario Radial Wheels run smoothly and quietly on QuickTrak

Motion Without Limits® LOAD RATINGS Working Load Capacities Working load capacities are based on empirical data on guide wheels used in general applications with static and dynamic load conditions. Guide wheels can routinely achieve travel life of one million cycles or higher when these specified load capacities are observed.

Motion Without Limits® Product Summary MadeWell® Crown Rollers This product line can be used in conjunction with DualVee® guide wheels for applications requiring pairs of linear guide systems operating in parallel. Such arrangements are used when wide spans or high moment loads need to be supported. One slide uses DualVee® guide wheels with vee channel track and the other uses MadeWell® Crown Rollers with UtiliTrak® open channel track. Working in unison, the vee side serves as the primary guide while the roller side provides radial support to compensate for parallel misalignment. Because precise...

Motion Without Limits® www.bwc.com 888.580.8272 Load/Life Relationship Equation and Sizing/Selection Several factors influence the service life of a linear guide wheel. Through research and development, Bishop-Wisecarver has devised a simple method to estimate the load/life relationship for a specific MadeWell® guide mechanism under defined loading conditions. The methodology accounts for the size of the bearing elements and the load orientation and magnitude. The equation is based upon clean and well lubricated track conditions; so for applications where lubrication is prohibitive, a derating...
