System Components

N/A Linear Guide
The linear guide consists of a track plate assembly and wheel plate assembly, each wheel plate assembly containing four DualVee wheels.
Support Beams

Aluminum (standard)
Steel (standard)
Stainless Steel (custom)

Wiper wheel plate
Wiper wheel plate assembly shown consisting of four DualVee wheels, bushings and a carriage plate.
Track plate
Track plate assembly consisting of two or more lengths of induction hardened steel track mounted to an anodized aluminum substrate
Drive End
Constructed with anodized aluminum housing and hardened stainless steel input drive shaft. Sprocket and shaft are supported by two single row ball bearings.
Idler End with Belt Tensioning Adjustment
Rugged anodized aluminum housing; sprocket is supported by two single row ball bearings. Chain tension adjustment screw is easily accessed on the back plate of the idler end assembly.

Multi-Industry Applications

N/A DualVee-based linear guides are popular worldwide and used throughout a broad range of industries.

Machine tool
Laboratory
Automotive production
Industrial automation
Biomedical
Inspection equipment
Material handling equipment
Textile machinery
Paper processing and converting
Semiconductor
Packaging machinery
Electronics assembly
Non-contact machining equipment

Chain Driven Actuator Options

N/A Chain drives are available with standard and corrosion resistant ANSI roller chain. The chain driven LoPro is ideal for vertical hoisting and large load actuation over long lengths. Aluminum and steel support beams may be used to mount the chain drive. Other options include basic and wiper wheel plates, with or without multiple wheel plates.

Motor Mount Options

N/A Our new line of motor mounts is designed to fit any manufacturer's motor or gearbox. Each motor mount is supplied as a kit, complete with shaft coupling and mounting hardware. Standard or custom mounting solutions can be provided within five days.

Drive Ends

N/A

Designed for high performance, high cycling linear motion
Incorporates high quality radial bearings with a high strength aircraft grade aluminum housing
strength aircraft grade aluminum housing
Drive ends are available with optional relief holes for extremely aggressive environments with high particulate matter.

Idler Ends

N/A

Chain adjustment is easily accomplished via rotation of a single, easy-to-access adjustment screw
High quality radial bearings and high strength aluminum
housing provides smooth, accurate linear motion
Idler ends are available with optional relief holes for extremely aggressive environments with high particulate matter.

Wheel Plate Options

N/A There are two choices for wheel plate assemblies - wiper wheel plates and basic wheel plates. Wiper wheel plates are available with your choice of DualVee guide wheels and provide the lowest height solution. Basic wheel plates are the more economical choice and come with Integral DualVee wheels and your choice of either lubricators or wheel covers. Both the wiper wheel plate and the basic wheel plate are intended to run on track plate assemblies.

Support Beam Options

N/A Support beams are available in extruded aluminum or steel beam. The extruded aluminum beam comes with T slots for quick and easy mounting of brackets and other aluminum framing members. Steel support beams are made to ASTM A500 Grade A standards and provide a high modulus, making them a rigid mounting option.

Aluminum Support Beams

N/A

Designed with industry standard cross section and T-slot (10 mm) geometry
Compatible with HepcoMotion ‘s MCS aluminum frame and machine construction system from Bishop-Wisecarver, as well as other industry profile extrusions.

Track Plate Assemblies

N/A Track plate assemblies combine your choice of single edge DualVee track with an easy to mount aluminum base. The aluminum base is made from high precision anodized aluminum alloy. Track plate assemblies are easily butt-jointed to provide infinite lengths.

Gantry Brackets

N/A A wide variety of gantry brackets are available to form complete LoPro gantry systems. The gantry bracket allows numerous gantry configurations to be built by offering flexibility in the types of LoPro systems that can be assembled together and in the relative positions and orientations of the stages to each other in the assembly. Procedures for creating the most common stage configurations for gantry systems can be found in the LoPro Gantry System Assembly Manual.

Custom Options

N/A From completely custom systems to adding mounting holes, our application engineers are ready to assist you with any customization needs.

Manufacturing Notes

N/A

Working load varies with speed.
Un-mounted systems are designed for mounting to a customer-supplied mounting surface. System straightness and flatness are determined by mounting surface accuracy. Continuous support along the entire track plate length and under drive end mounting surfaces is required.
In System Inertia J (A+B+C) for B, TL (Travel Length) must be in mm for metric calculation, inches for English calculation.
In System Inertia J (A+B+C) for C, M (Mass of payload on the carriage) must be in kg for metric calculation, lbm for English calculation.
Right hand version shown. Dual shaft, left hand, and corrosion resistant versions are also available. Contact Bishop-Wisecarver for details.
For secondary wheel plate assembly, consult factory.
Weights shown are for wheel plates with wheel covers and without coupling kits. Basic wheel plates with track lubricators weigh slightly less.
Aluminum beams are 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Steel beams are structural steel tubing ASTM A500 Grade A.
Drawings are not to scale.
Maximum Length of Steel Support Beam Sizes 3 & 4 - up to 48 ft lengths stock. Longer lengths available upon request. Contact factory for availability
Aluminum beam not available on size 4.
Corrosion resistant systems are available with wiper wheel plate only. Corrosion resistant systems on stainless steel beams are custom.
