SWA series studded wheels provide a simple method for mounting guide wheels in a precise and rigid fashion. The SWA series is a guide wheel with a permanently attached stainless steel threaded stud that has a low installed height and a long thread length. Mount the concentric studded wheel assembly version into a threaded hole for a fixed wheel location. Mount the eccentric studded wheel assembly version into a reamed hole. The eccentric version has an offset shank to provide an adjustable position and allow wheel fit up adjustment to parallel guide track.
One studded roller replaces three components. No need to incorporate a separate journal 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 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.
