DualVee Motion Technology®

BishopWisecarver is recognized as the market leader

for guide wheel technology. In 1967, Bud Wisecarver

patented DualVee Motion Technology® (DMT). Three main

components defi ne DMT: the DualVee® guide wheel, its

mating Vee profi le track with patented mounting shoulder

and support bushings. DualVee Motion Technology® is

one of the most popular guided motion products due to

its self-cleaning action and self-aligning track (mounting

shoulder) resulting in an overall lower installation cost.

The PTDA Power Transmission Handbook recognizes

DualVee Motion Technology® as an industry standard.

• Carbon or Stainless Steel Components

• Speeds up to 8 meters/sec

• Acceleration up to 5 g’s

• High Accuracy and Repeatability

• High Temperature, Clean Room Options

• Ground Mounting Surfaces not Required

• Low Noise

• Smooth Action

• Long Lengths

Patented 90º DualVeeGuide Wheel

Double Row Angular Contact Bearing• Lubed for Life

• Designed for Radial and Axial Loads

Designed for Dirty and Severe Environments

The patented 90º DualVee® design creates a velocity

gradient, since the circumference of the wheel is

greater at the major diameter, resulting in a constant

sweeping action cleaning debris from the track.
