SKF Track Rollers are support rollers designed specifically for various tracks, commonly used in rail vehicles, conveyor systems, and other applications. They are based on needle roller bearings or cylindrical roller bearings, with various designs and variants, including with or without retainers, with or without flange rings, with or without inner rings, with or without seals, etc
Design and functionality
SKF Track Rollers are designed to operate on various types of tracks, capable of withstanding high radial loads and bi-directional axial loads caused by alignment errors or misalignment. They are usually not installed in the bearing seat holes, but are supported by flat tracks
This design enables them to maintain stability under various working conditions, especially performing well in environments that require high loads and complex movements.
Application scenarios
SKF Track Rollers are widely used in heavy machinery equipment such as cranes, excavators, conveyors, and railway vehicles. They can work under heavy static and dynamic loads, adapt to multi-directional movement and deformation of surrounding components during operation, and are particularly suitable for application scenarios that require high loads and complex movements
These rollers are designed to be compact and capable of withstanding high loads, and due to the thick walled outer ring design, they can withstand high radial and bi-directional axial loads
In addition, they also have lower noise and higher load ratings, making them perform well in various industrial applications
SKF Track Rollers are specialized bearings designed for linear motion and guide systems, providing smooth operation under heavy loads and harsh conditions. These components are engineered to handle combined radial and axial forces in applications requiring precise guidance and durability. Widely used in automation, material handling, construction equipment, and rail systems, SKF Track Rollers deliver superior performance through optimized geometry, premium materials, and advanced sealing technologies.
