MINVEE

About MINVEE

MinVee is a product line of Bishop-Wisecarver, a manufacturer of linear motion systems based in the United States. The MinVee brand is specifically associated with double-edge linear guide rails, track supports, and wheel plate assemblies designed for low-profile, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant linear motion applications. The product family centers on a V-groove geometry that uses hardened steel or carbon steel rails paired with wheel plate assemblies that incorporate sealed ball bearings. MinVee rails are available in a nominal Size 0, with overall widths of 0.516 inches and heights of 0.153 inches, and lengths ranging from 12.5 inches to 96 inches. Rail options include unhardened, surface-hardened, and drilled-hole patterns for mounting. Track supports are made from aluminum and are sized to match Size 0 rails, providing a rigid mounting base. Wheel plate assemblies feature aluminum carriages and carbon steel rollers with sealed bearings, designed for 14 mm rail widths. These components are used in applications requiring smooth, low-friction linear motion with minimal maintenance, such as packaging machinery, material handling, and automated assembly equipment. 3G Electric supplies MinVee linear guide rails, track supports, and wheel plate assemblies from Bishop-Wisecarver, offering global logistics support for procurement specialists and plant engineers. The product range covers standard rail lengths and support configurations, with options for custom hole patterns and surface treatments. MinVee components are built to dimensional tolerances suitable for precision linear guidance in industrial environments, with sealed bearings to resist contamination. The double-edge rail design allows for load distribution across two V-grooves, providing stability in multi-axis systems. 3G Electric stocks these items for direct shipment, supporting maintenance and new-build projects across industries that rely on compact linear motion solutions.
