Yoke rollers - Bearings and bearings housing INA - KVK - Bearings and bearings housing FAG

Support rollers and yoke-type track rollers are designed for use with various types of rails. Thanks to their thick-walled outer ring, they can withstand high radial loads. Yoke-type rollers are suitable for mounting on a shaft; they are not installed in a housing bore but roll directly on rails. Their outer ring can be spherical, cylindrical, or grooved for shaft guidance. The rolling element can be a roller, needle, or ball. They are commonly used in conveyors and linear motion systems.

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.

The FAG brand started in 1883 with the invention of Friedrich Fischer (Kugelfischer). He invented a ball mill in Schweinfurt - Germany, which made it possible for the first time to produce absolutely round balls. This invention makes the FAG brand a pioneer in rolling bearing technology. Today, FAG is synonymous with quality and is one of the leading bearing brands in mechanical engineering, automotive, aviation, as well as in the production of bearings for wind generators. Since 2001, FAG has been part of the SCHAEFFLER Group company.Together with the complementary product nomenclature of INA, SCHAEFFLER has one of the broadest product portfolios in the industry, which includes rolling and plain bearings, bearing housings, linear guide systems, as well as solutions for monitoring, greasing, assembly and disassembly of bearings.
