4" to 5" V-Groove Iron Wheels

Designed for controlled applications with inverted angle track

  • V-Groove wheels are high strength cast iron castings or forged steel forgings

  • Machined with a 90 degree groove for operation on inverted angle iron track

  • They are used to control the flow of a load (into an oven, between machines, over long distances, or where "production line" sequences must be maintained.)

  • Up to 10,000 pounds capacity each wheel

  • Temperature range: -50º to 800º F

Straight Roller Bearings

Straight roller bearings consist of a cage-type roller assembly and a split outer race.  These bearings turn on hardened and ground spanner bushings which provide a long wearing precision inner race.  Press fit combination metal retainer/thrust washers hold the bearings in place.  Straight roller bearings have a high radial capacity, but minimal side thrusting load rating.

Tapered Bearings

Tapered roller bearings are true precision bearings designed for the heaviest loads, and/or high-speed operation.  In addition to great radial capacity, they have a side thrust load rating of 60% to 90% of radial capacity rating.  The assembly consists of an outer race or cup and a tapered cone roller assembly held in position with closures.  Spacers are provided to tighten the caster legs against the bearing assembly.  Two bearings are installed per wheel.
