Studded guide rollers are compact linear motion components that integrate a mounting stud directly into a v-groove roller, eliminating the need for separate hardware. The VWIC series comprises concentric, non-adjustable studded rollers with a hex socket for easy mounting. Available in four sizes, they feature 52100 steel or 440 stainless steel raceways and balls, with a 303 stainless steel stud and nylon 66 retainer, pre-lubricated with NLGI #2 grease. Radial load capacities range from 134 lbs for size 1 to 1058 lbs for size 4, with maximum RPM decreasing from 2400 to 750 accordingly. Dimensions include metric stud threads (M8x1.25 through M14x2.0), and the rollers support 90° v-groove or v-edge track operation. All variants share industry-standard tolerances (±0.005 inches).
Modern Linear Studded Guide Rollers eliminate the need for separate installation hardware. One studded roller replaces three components. There is no need to incorporate a separate bolt or bushing into a carriage assembly. Mounting is facilitated with a female hex opposite of the threaded stud, making installation and future replacement easy. The studded roller is designed with a lower profile than our individual guide rollers and bushings, creating a more compact unit. Studded rollers offer a versatile, high performance and economical solution to a wide variety of linear motion applications.There is no loss of load capacity or longevity with Modern Linear's studded guide rollers. The studded rollers incorporate the same, super-finished raceways of our guide rollers to offer superior speed and performance. These raceways translate to smoother and quieter operation in linear applications. The outer race incorporates a 90° v-groove as well as a 90° v-chamfer, which allows the roller to ride on a v-edge track or in a 90° v-groove.Modern Linear's studded guide rollers are made from 304 stainless steel (SS). The stud is swaged into the bore of the guide roller. They are available in eccentric/adjustable
