Self-Aligning Side-Mount Track Roller Carriages and Guide Rails
Create a self-aligning carriage and guide rail system to compensate for mounting surfaces that aren't parallel. The floating bearing in these carriages adjusts to correct misalignment between rails, so your carriages still move in tandem. A complete system includes a fixed-alignment carriage and rail on one side and a self-aligning carriage and rail on the other. All components are sold separately.
Carriages can be adjusted for a snug or loose fit on the rail (also known as preload). They have permanently lubricated rollers to save maintenance time and effort.
Fixed-alignment rails have a C-shaped profile that ensures the system travels in a straight line.
Self-aligning rails have a rectangular profile that allows the carriage to move freely from side to side to compensate for misalignment.
