Abstract
A roller structure including a cylindrical casing having an outer wear surface and an inner surface provided by a bore extending through the cylindrical casing. At least one anti-friction bearing is positioned within the bore in contact with the inside surface of the cylindrical casing. The anti-friction bearing includes a solid lubricant. In one embodiment, the roller structure is a roller turn roller and is a component of a guide for a turn of a conveyor system, wherein the outer wear surface is for contacting the chain of the conveyer system. A method of lubricating a roller structure is also provided.
Claims22
A roller structure comprising:
- a cylindrical casing having an outer wear surface and an inner surface provided by a bore extending through the cylindrical casing;
- at least one anti-friction bearing positioned within the bore in contact with the inside surface of the cylindrical casing;
- and
- a bushing proximate to each side of the casing, wherein the bushing has a cylindrical body in contact with a bearing bore surface of the at least one anti-friction bearing, and a flange in contact with an outside face surface of an inner ring of the at least one anti-friction bearing.
A roller structure comprising:
- a cylindrical casing having an outer wear surface and an inner surface provided by a bore extending through the cylindrical casing;
- and
- at least one anti-friction bearing positioned within the bore in contact with the inside surface of the cylindrical casing, wherein the anti-friction bearing comprises a solid lubricant.
A method of lubricating a roller structure comprising:
- applying a solid lubricant to at least one anti-friction bearing;
- and
- positioning the at least one anti-friction bearing within a bore of a cylindrical casing for the roller structure.
