Product Overview: NUTR 15 Yoke Type Track Roller
The NUTR 15 is a high-performance yoke type track roller, also known as a support roller, designed for demanding linear motion applications. With key dimensions of a 15mm bore diameter, 35mm outer diameter, and a 19mm width, this roller is engineered to run on all types of tracks and to be used in cam drives, conveyor systems, and more. Part of our Support Rollers collection, the NUTR 15 features a thick-walled outer ring capable of withstanding high radial loads and minimizing distortion and bending stresses.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we provide NUTR 15 rollers that are built to industry standards for reliability and longevity. The outer running surface is typically crowned as standard, which helps to reduce edge stresses that can be caused by misalignment between the roller and the track. This feature ensures smoother operation and extends the service life of both the track and the roller. Explore our complete range of Track Rollers to find the ideal solution for your machinery.
Key Features of the NUTR 15
- High Load Capacity: Built with a thick-walled outer ring and a full complement of needle rollers to handle heavy radial and shock loads.
- Crowned Outer Profile: The crowned running surface helps to distribute loads evenly and reduces wear on the track, especially in cases of slight misalignment.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Sealed for Protection: Equipped with contact seals on both sides to retain lubricant and protect against the ingress of contaminants, ensuring long service life.
- Ready-to-Mount Design: Yoke type rollers are designed for simple mounting on a pin or shaft, simplifying assembly and installation.
- Optimized for Linear Motion: Specifically designed to follow a cam or track, providing reliable and low-friction linear guidance.
