T-Slotted Framing Linear Bearings and Track Rollers
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Track rollers are for applications that don't require high precision, such as sliding door frames, glides, and track systems. Multiple track rollers can be used on a rail. Because they’re side mount, they allow you to attach and roll components along the side of the rail.
Sleeve bearings don’t need to be lubricated, but they aren’t as long-lasting and don’t roll as smoothly as ball bearings. Ball bearings last longer and roll more smoothly than sleeve bearings but need to be lubricated.

High-capacity track rollers are best for moving heavy items that don’t require high precision, such as sliding doors. They travel inside channel tracks (sold separately). Attach your sliding component to the other side of the track roller. Included locking end stops bring a sliding component to a stop and hold it in place.
Note: Sliding doors must be guided above and below to keep the door moving straight and prevent it from swinging.

T-Slotted Framing Slides, Tracks, and Rollers
Slide drawers, panels, and doors with these tracks and rollers.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Roller wheels move frames, panels, and other components along the length of the T-slot.
Bracket-mount wheels join two rails together at a 90° angle and then roll along the length of a T-slot. To install, thread the included self-tapping screw into the end of each rail.
Edge-Mount Bracket Casters
Mount these casters to the bottom edge of equipment to keep them out of sight. They have a lightweight polypropylene wheel that rides directly on the axle making these casters an economical option for equipment on smooth surfaces that is not frequently moved.

Side-Mount Bracket Casters
Mount these casters to the side of equipment or on gates and doors. They are spring-loaded for good shock absorption.
Tread-on-core wheels have a polypropylene core that is harder than the tread, balancing strength with cushioning.
Rubber wheels provide good traction on rough surfaces. Polyurethane wheels combine the abrasion resistance of plastic with the cushioning qualities of rubber. They can be used on smooth and rough floors and in areas with debris.
Sleeve wheel bearings prevent wear to the wheel bore but don't roll as easily as other bearings. Roller wheel bearings provide smoother rolling than sleeve bearings. Ball wheel bearings are the easiest to roll.
Casters have double-ball swivel bearings for the smoothest swiveling.

Inside-Mount Bracket Casters
The 90° angle bracket mounts into square tubing and can also be bolted to angle iron. The rubber wheels are shock absorbing and provide good traction on rough surfaces. Sleeve wheel bearings prevent wear to the wheel bore but don't roll as easily as other bearings. Casters have double-ball swivel bearings for the smoothest swiveling.
