Stud track rollers - Bearings and bearings housing INA
Stud-type track rollers (cam followers) are designed for use with various types of rails and mechanical systems. Thanks to their thick-walled outer ring, they can withstand high radial loads. Instead of an inner ring, they are equipped with a robust stud that simplifies mounting. They are not installed in a housing bore but roll directly on rails. These rollers are commonly used in conveyors and linear motion systems.
Stud-type rollers are key components in motion systems, providing precise and repeatable movement in various industrial environments. The rolling element can be a ball, needle, or roller.
INA was founded in Herzogenaurach, Germany in 1946. The company started out manufacturing handcarts, but also invented the caged needle bearing, leading to a deeper focus on precision products and helping the company develop into bearing manufacturing. For decades, INA has been synonymous with precision quality, in-depth knowledge and manufacturing expertise. Today, INA products are used in industry, with new solutions being developed daily. In 2001 INA bought FAG and the name of the combined company is Schaeffler Group. The company invests heavily in development and has over 24,000 active patents and patent applications. There are over 2,300 new patent applications every year, making it the second most innovative company in Germany according to the German Patent Office.
