Track rollers are designed to run on all types of tracks and to be used in cam drives, conveyor systems, etc.
At Bearing King, we provide a comprehensive range of track rollers designed for performance, durability and versatility across multiple applications. Track rollers are essential in machinery where guided linear motion and the ability to handle high radial loads are required. Commonly used in roller track systems, cam drives, conveyor technology and automation, they are built to withstand tough operating conditions while ensuring smooth and consistent performance.
What Are Track Rollers?
Track rollers are specialised rolling elements designed to run directly on tracks, guiding systems or cam surfaces. Their key role is to support radial loads and absorb shocks while providing reliable movement along a set path. Unlike conventional bearings, they feature thick-walled outer rings that enable them to manage heavier stresses and minimise deformation. This makes them indispensable in industries such as manufacturing, packaging, material handling, construction and transport.
Depending on the design, track rollers can be supplied with a crowned outer ring or a cylindrical (flat) outer ring running surface. Crowned rollers are particularly beneficial in situations where misalignment or tilting might occur, as they reduce edge stresses and extend service life. Flat rollers, on the other hand, provide maximum contact for accurate guidance in well-aligned systems.
