Track Roller

Frequently asked questions — Track Rollers

• How do I choose between a track roller and another type of bearing?

  Choosing a track roller is justified when the device must support high radial and axial loads during motion transfer. If your application requires different specifications, the catalogue offers other bearing sub-families such as cylindrical roller bearings, thrust bearings, plain bearings or self-aligning systems. Assessing the available space and the nature of the material in contact with the raceway is decisive in directing your selection towards a track roller or another mechanical configuration.
• Which technical criteria guarantee the reliability of track rollers?

  Component reliability is ensured by compliance with international standards. Dimensions and tolerances follow the recommendations of ISO 15 for boundary dimensions and ISO 492 for dimensional and running tolerances. In addition, durability and resistance calculations are carried out in accordance with ISO 281 for dynamic load rating and basic rating life, as well as ISO 76 for static load rating. These standards guarantee product interchangeability and their suitability for actual mechanical stresses.
• Which elements should I take into account to select the right track roller?

  Technical selection rests on four main factors: load conditions, the dimensional constraints of the available space, the nature of the material in contact with the raceway and the specific features of the operating environment. By incorporating these parameters into the radial and axial load requirements, you ensure a precise match between the selected track roller and the constraints of your mechanical assembly. This approach addresses maintenance and integration needs in varied systems such as plain bearings or thrust bearings.
• What does the track roller offering in the MecaIndus catalogue include?

  The track roller range mainly comprises cylindrical roller track rollers. To enable complete integration into varied mechanical assemblies, the offering also includes various mounting and locking accessories as well as specific bearing accessories. This range structure is designed to meet maintenance and assembly needs in configurations such as plain bearings or self-aligning systems, ensuring interchangeability that complies with international sizing standards.
