Yoke rollers - Bearings and bearings housing INA
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.
