Track Roller Dozer
Track rollers are motion transmission components that can be used on a wide range of tracks. Conveyor systems, cam drives, and a variety of other material handling systems employ them. These components, regardless of material or machine, play a key part in track and train operations. They facilitate system operations by allowing for better speed and efficiency when correctly selected, deployed, and maintained. Outer ring running surfaces or cylindrical (or flat) outer ring running surfaces are offered on track rollers. Although the best track roller depends on the intended usage and application, the outer ring running surface is widely regarded as the gold standard.
Track rollers are self-supporting support rollers with a solid threaded pin instead of an inner ring that are ready to install. The elements might be guided or full complement needle- or roller bearings, depending on the design.
Large forces in the radial direction, as well as axial forces caused by an angle error, can be absorbed by track rollers.
Unlike ball and roller bearings, where the size is determined by the bore diameter d, track rollers are measured by their outside diameter D.
All track rollers are loaded with lithium soap grease and can withstand temperatures ranging from -30 to +100 degrees Celsius.
Selection Considerations for Track Rollers
Track rollers are used by industry specialists to tackle a range of problems. The importance of track roller bearings cannot be overstated. However, there are various factors to consider while choosing the right track roller for your application, including:
-
What type of load are you moving? Track roller assemblies are designed to support either moving (dynamic) loads or stationary (static) loads.
-
How will the load be applied? Track rollers can support radial or axial (thrust) loads. Radial loads are applied at 90 degrees to the bearing bore or axis of rotation, while thrust loads are applied parallel to the bearing bore or axis of rotation.
-
What are the motion requirements and restrictions? Load bearing assemblies are typically designed to facilitate movement in some directions while restricting motion in others.
-
What is/are the applied speed(s)? The speed of the moving object can be described in terms of linear (distance over time, such as FPM or M/sec) or rotational (revolutions per minute or RPM) movement.
