UtiliTrak® Linear Guide

The UtiliTrak linear guide provides a narrow, compact profile solution that is well suited for a variety of environments where smooth, high speed motion is required.

It is an ideal choice for running two systems in parallel, where one slide uses DualVee guide wheels and the other uses MadeWell™ crowned rollers. Because precise parallelism is difficult to achieve, it is not uncommon for mounting surfaces to be slightly out of parallel. The DualVee guide wheel carriage assembly and vee channel serves as the motion side, while the MadeWell crowned roller and open channel side compensates for mounting error.

UtiliTrak is offered in 3 series; SW Series steel guide wheels running on a hardened bearing steel channel for larger loads and smooth operation, PW Series polymer guide wheels running on an anodized aluminum channel for a more economical choice in lighter duty applications, and CR Series stainless steel composite for higher loads where corrosion resistance is required.

SW Series
SW Series UtiliTrak is ideal for medium to heavy duty transport applications, and offers high speeds, excellent load capacity, smooth antifriction operation, and debris tolerance. SW Series features 52100 carbon steel wheels and one-piece ground 52100 carbon steel channel with hardened raceways.

PW Series
PW Series UtiliTrak is a lightweight solution for light to medium duty transport applications, and offers the lowest installed cost in its class, corrosion resistance, low noise and wear resistance. CR Series features high temp polymer overmolded wheels, and 6063-T aluminum alloy channel.

CR Series Stainless Steel Composite
CR Series UtiliTrak is a great option for high load requirements where carbon steel cannot be used due to corrosion. CR Series features 440C stainless steel wheels and induction heat treated 420 stainless steel DualVee track mounted to an extruded aluminum channel.
