Description
Technical Overview
Engineers integrate Mini V Wheel Kits into compact linear guide systems. Consequently, this small form factor hardware facilitates precise linear motion within confined spaces. The kit functions by mounting directly onto linear profiles, providing a functional rolling interface for lightweight structural gantries. We individually mill each wheel from black Delrin polymer. Because of this specialized processing, the manufacturing method ensures consistent high precision and tight dimensional tolerances. Furthermore, the component exhibits a Rockwell hardness of M80 and a compressive strength of 63Mpa. As a result, the polymer configuration resists wear and material deformation under mechanical forces. Therefore, the completed setup functions interchangeably with compatible plates and parts to deliver smooth, low-friction guidance.
Applications
Builders choose this wheel kit to construct small form factor linear actuator guides. Specifically, technicians install the hardware on V-Slot Extrusions and pair it with Mini V Plates. For this reason, builders commonly implement the assembly in compact 3D printers, small CNC routers, and lightweight automated motion rigs. In addition, they deploy it in custom miniature positioning mechanisms where space is constrained. Meanwhile, the Delrin material provides a highly smooth-rolling, quiet interface. Thus, this layout makes the unit exceptionally well-suited for light load applications that demand minimal material deflection and close operational tolerances.
Technical Specifications
Assembly guide:
- To assemble, first push one bearing into the wheel. Then using the screw as a guide push one of the two Mini shims and press the 2nd bearing in the wheel.
The second mini shim goes between the wheel and spacer to prevent the bearings from binding.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks
-
To assemble, push one bearing into the wheel first, then use a screw as a alignment guide to place one mini shim internally before pressing in the second bearing.
-
Ensure you position the second included mini shim outside the wheel, directly between the bearing face and the assembly spacer, to prevent the internal rings from binding.
-
Remember to purchase your M5 x 25mm mounting screws, spacers, eccentric spacers, and gantry plates separately, as they are required to complete a standard linear guide build.
