Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BISHOP-WISECARVER from 3G Electric.
What types of Bishop-Wisecarver linear guide carriages does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies Bishop-Wisecarver UtiliTrak SW wheel plate assemblies and HepcoMotion PRT2 slide ring carriages. The UtiliTrak SW assemblies are available in Size 1 and Size 2, with 4-roller or 5-roller configurations, and use ball-type rollers for Vee profile or SW series Vee channel rails. The PRT2 slide ring carriages are fixed-center assemblies in Size 25, made with aluminum carriages and steel rollers. These are suitable for linear or curved track systems.
Are Bishop-Wisecarver V-groove track rollers available in corrosion-resistant materials?
Yes, 3G Electric stocks Bishop-Wisecarver V-groove yoke track rollers made from stainless steel. Models include the W4SS300 (2 23/64 in roller diameter, temperature range -94°F to 230°F), W2SS227 (1 13/64 in, -22°F to 500°F), and W1SS227 (49/64 in, -22°F to 500°F). These rollers are designed for environments where corrosion resistance is required, such as food processing or washdown applications.
What is the difference between the UtiliTrak SW wheel plate assemblies and the PRT2 slide ring carriages?
The UtiliTrak SW wheel plate assemblies are designed for linear motion on Vee profile or SW series Vee channel rails, available in Size 1 or Size 2 with 4 or 5 rollers. They use ball-type rollers and are suited for straight track applications. The PRT2 slide ring carriages are fixed-center assemblies for curved or ring-shaped tracks, specifically Size 25, with steel rollers and aluminum carriages. The choice depends on whether the application requires linear or curved guidance.
Can I get Bishop-Wisecarver linear motion components for high-temperature environments?
Yes, some Bishop-Wisecarver V-groove yoke track rollers are rated for temperatures up to 500°F. For example, the W2SS227 and W1SS227 stainless steel rollers have an operating range of -22°F to 500°F. For other components like the UtiliTrak assemblies or PRT2 carriages, standard temperature ratings apply; consult the manufacturer's specifications for exact limits. 3G Electric can provide details on specific SKUs.
What rail profiles are compatible with Bishop-Wisecarver UtiliTrak SW wheel plate assemblies?
The UtiliTrak SW wheel plate assemblies are compatible with Vee profile rails and SW series Vee channel rails. The assemblies are designed to run on these profiles, providing guided linear motion. The specific compatibility depends on the model: for example, SKU 2NDD4 (UT2WPAR-5A) is for Vee profile, while SKU 36FX68 (UT2WPAXS-4A) is for SW series Vee channel. Ensure the rail size matches the carriage size (Size 1 or Size 2).
