Bearings / wheels used on slider carriages...

[Dave Draper]

What is the name or type of "grooved" bearings / wheels used on the carriages of the Kessler Crane Cineslider, Rhino Slider, etc?



We're attempting to build our own low-profile slider, and after hours of searching, still don't have a clue what these things are called or where to get them from.

Search for U-groove wheel or U-groove roller.

[edit] Also search for V-groove.

Paul -- Many thanks for your response.

Can't find anything like this in the UK, unfortunately -- only in the US and China.
