About BISHOP-WISECARVER

Bishop Wisecarver manufactures high-quality linear motion products and linear actuators for the aerospace, automotive, food / beverage and general automotive industries. The brand's products are suitable for carton filling equipment, pick and place racks, washdown systems and conveyor belts. Bishop Wisecarver carriage assembly combines linear and rotary motion to follow virtually any path. It features rings, curved segments, straight slides and carriages for travelling in both linear and rotary motion. These carriages are made from anodised aluminium while the ring slides have high-quality steel and zone-hardened construction on the V edges. The brand's slide rings are ideal for rotary and track system applications. Selected models with precision ground finish & hardened vee faces are used for smooth gliding and are ideal for applications that require curved or circular track motion. Different models of manual and actuated linear guide systems are available in corrosion-resistant carbon, steel and polymer construction variants.

HepcoMotion GFX

HepcoMotion GFX Hepco guidance system is a linear motion system featuring a patented vee guide & track system for high accuracy and rigidity. It uses a four-wheel carriage running on two single-edge track rails for stable and accurate linear motion with resistance to shock and vibration. The system comes in various sizes and configurations and is compatible with drive systems, mounting brackets and end stops. This guidance system is a reliable and versatile linear motion solution suitable for many automation applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can acme screws be used in vertical applications without back driving?

Yes, Acme screws can be used in vertical applications as they are designed with a thread profile that provides greater efficiency compared to standard threaded rods, which means that they are less likely to back drive under a vertical load. However, the ability to resist back driving also depends on the pitch, lead and helix angle of the screw.

What is the maximum recommended speed for DualVee guide wheel technology?

5.5 meters per second.

Can DualVee guide wheels be used in high-temperature applications?

Yes, the brand's DualVee guide wheels, having stainless steel components, heat-stabilised material and special grease (Krytox GPL 227), can be operated at temperatures up to 500 degrees F.

What is the difference between the axial and the radial load in a bearing?

The axial load is any load parallel to the bearing's axis of rotation, while a radial load is any load perpendicular to it.
