Product Overview: The LR 5206 Double Row Track Roller Bearing
The LR 5206 is a high-capacity track roller bearing, meticulously designed to operate on all types of tracks and to be used in cam drives, conveyor systems, and linear guidance equipment. With principal dimensions of 30x72x23.8mm, this bearing is part of our specialized Track Rollers collection. It features a double row of ball bearings and a thick-walled outer ring with a crowned running surface, enabling it to accommodate high radial loads and tolerate minor misalignments or deflections in the track.
Manufactured to exacting industry standards, the LR 5206 is engineered for smooth, low-friction linear movement. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, making it a preferred choice for applications requiring precise and durable guidance solutions. The crowned outer ring helps to reduce edge stresses, preventing premature wear of both the bearing and the track, thus extending the service life of your machinery.
Key Features of the LR 5206 Bearing
- Double Row Design: Incorporates two rows of balls to handle high radial loads and some axial loads.
- Crowned Outer Ring: The slightly convex outer surface minimizes edge loading and compensates for small angular misalignments.
- Thick-Walled Outer Ring: Built to withstand heavy and shock loads associated with track and cam applications.
- High-Quality Steel: Constructed from premium bearing steel for exceptional durability and wear resistance.
- Sealed for Protection: Often available in sealed versions (e.g., 2RS) to retain lubricant and prevent contamination, ensuring a long, maintenance-free life.
- Compact and Ready-to-Mount: Its unitized design simplifies installation and saves space in mechanical assemblies.
Common Applications
- Conveyor and Transfer Systems: Provides smooth and reliable motion for conveyor belts and material handling equipment.
- Linear Guidance Systems: Used as a guide roller for precise linear movement in automation and machinery.
