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. UtiliTrak's design compensates for mounting errors, and does not require absolute parallelism for accurate operation. The DualVee guide wheel carriage assembly and vee channel serves as the motion side, while the MadeWell crowned roller and open channel side allows for parallel misalignment.

NEW! - Bridge connections further simplify assembly, and completes the system by joining the two slides and providing a stable mounting surface.

UtiliTrak is offered in two basic series; SW Series steel guide wheels running on a hardened bearing steel channel for larger loads and smooth operation, and PW Series polymer guide wheels running on an anodized aluminum channel, which provides a more economical choice for lighter duty applications where highly smooth operation is not as critical. A third option, Stainless Steel Composite UtiliTrak, is ideal for higher loads where corrosion resistance is required.
