Osborn VLR-2 Load Runner, V-Groove , Concentric Stud, 2.00" Roller Diameter, 0.84" Roller Width, 0.50" Stud Diameter, 1.25" Stud Length, Ball Bearings, Standard
This Osborn VLR-2 Load Runner concentric stud V-groove bearing is double sealed and has a steel cage and snap ring. It has a 2.00" roller diameter, 0.84" roller width, 0.50" stud diameter, and 1.25" stud length. This double-row V-groove bearing is suitable for linear motion applications where the bearing runs along a rail or track. This bearing's inner and outer races are made of case-hardened bearing quality steel for optimum wear resistance. It has Normal radial internal clearance for applications that do not involve thermal expansion or atypical precision. Rubber seals on both sides of the bearing keep the lubricant in and contaminants out. This bearing has case-hardened bearing quality steel roller bearings for optimum wear resistance. Its "Heavy" bearing design makes it suitable for use with heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads. A steel cage evenly spaces rollers for reduced friction, vibration, and noise. A snap ring for holding the bearing in place. The bearing has an operating temperature range of -30 degrees to +225 degrees F (-34 degrees to +107 degrees C). This V-groove bearing is used in steel mills and foundries for carrying material under conditions of abrasion, heavy loads, and high heat.
Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All rolling bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.
Osborn manufactures idler-rollers, bearings, and rails for material handling applications. The company, founded in 1887, is headquartered in Brooklyn Heights, OH.
