NEW Integral Bushing and Stud Shaft DualVee® Wheels
August 1, 2005 – Pittsburg, CA – Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation announced today the introduction of the DualVee® Integral Bushing (BWI) and Stud Shaft (SWI) wheels. The patent pending design of the BWI and SWI wheels features a one-piece design where the wheel bearing inner raceway is ground into the wheel bushing or wheel stud shaft. The advantages of the one-piece design compared to the conventional two-piece guide wheels (wheels with separate bushing or journals) include:
• Lower profile and increased rigidity resulting in up to 84% less deflection
• Larger diameter fasteners resulting in up to 25% greater torque (holding) capability
• Less tolerance stack-up
• External adjustment and tightening
• Lower procurement and installation costs
The SWI and BWI DualVee wheels are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and polymer over-moulded stainless steel construction.
