Two Designs with Two Different Outcomes.
40% cheaper upfront doesn't mean lower cost.
Lubrication-free options may cost 40% less upfront, so it seems smarter at first. The problem is that unlubricated polymer guides lead to wear, precision loss, and embedded debris—driving up costs over time.
What actually drives cost over time
This is where design matters.
Wear
Sliding components wear out, causing drift and full carriage replacement.
Contamination
Debris embeds in rails, increasing friction and accelerating failure.
Precision Loss
Accuracy drifts as systems wear out, leading to costly rejects.
Lubrication-Free is Real. Maintenance-Free is Different.
This is where design matters.
DualVee® guided motion uses precision V-groove guide wheels running on hardened track instead of sliding surfaces, helping you:
- Cut downtime with easy and predictible maintenance
- Maximize usable lifetime without premature replacement
- Maintain precision in demanding environments
