Description
This is a description of a RBC caged roller follower, which can be used on a hardened and ground shaft or with matching inner rings. It is recommended to use hardened steel or bronze thrust washers with radial lubricating grooves for axial guidance. This type of roller follower is popular for applications requiring oil bath lubrication, high speed, or long-term grease lubrication. RBC Bearings has been in business since 1919 and currently has 23 manufacturing facilities worldwide.
This RBC caged roller follower can operate directly on a hardened and ground shaft (HRc 58 min, 16 rms min surface finish) or can be used with matching inner rings. Operating without an inner ring yields the largest possible shaft diameter with greatest strength and rigidity. Axial guidance must be provided by the application. It is recommended to use hardened steel or bronze thrust washers with radial lubricating grooves as needed. This caged SRF roller follower is popular in applications requiring oil bath lubrication, high speed, or in applications greased for life. RBC Bearings has been providing bearing solutions to our customers since 1919. A publicly-traded company (NASDAQ: ROLL), RBC currently has 23 manufacturing facilities worldwide, with 18 located in the USA.
