Linear Guide Wheels: Best Practices for Selection and Sizing

When you are designing a guide-based linear motion system, you have a lot of configuration options.


When you are designing a guide-based linear motion system, you have a lot of configuration options.

This white paper sets out useful details on configuring rolling element guide wheels, including:

  • System size
  • Carriage wheel plate profile
  • Track plate mounting structures
  • Drive element design
  • Component materials

While this white paper uses product examples from Bishop Wisecarver, the information is broadly useful for generic motion system design.
