Low Temperature DualVee Guide Wheels

Pittsburg, CA – - Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation announces the availability of its new low temperature wheel, the latest addition to the company’s signature DualVee product line. Designed primarily to meet the extreme low temperature demands present in the aerospace industry, the low temperature wheel also provides an economical solution for refrigeration and sub-zero climates.

DualVee low temperature wheels are available in sizes 1 through 4 from stock. DualVee low temperature wheels feature type 440C stainless steel balls and races, and type 304 stainless steel retainers, with a special lubricant formulated to withstand service temperatures from -94 to +230°F (-70 to +110°C). Bishop-Wisecarver DualVee wheels are also available from stock in high temperature, washdown, clean room, and stainless versions to satisfy application requirements. DualVee guide wheels can be provided with custom or customer-supplied lubricants, generally within three weeks. Wheels can even be provided completely dry for applications such as food processing and medical devices where the possibility of grease contamination is an issue.

“This addition to the DualVee family of products supports Bishop-Wisecarver’s mission of ‘Motion without limits’, and truly allows us to provide guided motion solutions for all types of critical and extreme environments”, says Pamela Kan, president of Bishop-Wisecarver.

DualVee® Washdown Wheels Protect Against Ingress of Liquid

Applications in washdown environments typically require frequent bearing replacement due to the ingress of highly corrosive fluids and loss of lubrication. Bishop-Wisecarver’s new DualVee washdown wheels can increase replacement intervals nearly three-fold, and are interchangeable with standard vee wheels for ease of replacement.

The patent pending design features an all stainless steel construction, FDA approved grease, and an outer shield and inner seal for exceptional protection from liquids and debris. The unique outer shield acts as a momentary seal when subjected to a stream of high velocity fluids, while the inner seal prevents liquid from entering the wheel, and retains the internal lubrication grease.

DualVee® Washdown Wheels from Bishop-Wisecarver

Pittsburg, CA – - Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation announces its new patent pending washdown wheels, the latest addition to the company’s signature DualVee product line. Designed primarily to meet the extreme demands of food processing equipment linear motion applications, the washdown wheel significantly extends bearing life, and is interchangeable with standard vee wheels for ease of replacement.

Available in sizes 2 and 3, DualVee washdown wheels feature an all stainless steel construction, FDA approved grease, an outer shield, and inner seal for added protection from liquids and debris. The rubberized metallic shield acts as a momentary seal when subjected to a stream of high velocity washdown fluid. The fluid velocity causes the rubberized shield to deflect and conform to the metallic surface of the wheel, sealing against ingress of liquids. The inner seal provides the principal line of defense, ensuring that external fluids are kept out of the wheel while retaining the internal lubrication grease; both important factors affecting the life of the wheel. Once the stream is directed away from the wheel, the deflected shield returns to its original position, allowing any residual fluid that entered the zone between the shield and seal to drain out or be spun out by centrifugal force.
