BMT Bearings' Yoke Type Track Rollers combines rolling and load-bearing into one component. Unlike ordinary bearings, these rollers are fitted onto a pin with the outer ring directly contacting the track and taking the full load. The thick outer ring prevents deformation under repeated rolling pressure. Its cylindrical outer shape also handles slight mounting misalignment, spreading the load evenly and preventing concentrated stress at the edges, delivering smooth motion.
The outer ring is substantially thicker than that of standard bearings that can handle the high contact pressure of track rolling and the yoke-mount design distributes radial loads evenly, able to maintain rigidity over extended operation.
Enhanced materials of high-carbon chromium and outer design of crowned outer ring significantly extend both roller and track life.
Pre-lubricated already, these rollers run maintenance‑free and relubrication can be done through the inner ring’s lubrication hole without disassembly. Sealed versions keep out dust and moisture, reducing service frequency.
Yoke Type Track Rollers is ready to use immediately, simplifying the installation process. We offer various design variations such as single or double rows, with or without inner rings, sealed or open types, to suit different application scenarios.
1. GCr15 bearing steel: Standard choice, excellent wear and fatigue resistance for most industrial applications.
2. Carbon steel: Economical alternative where cost is a priority; for lighter loads.
3. Stainless steel: For corrosive or humid environments like food processing, outdoor and marine, retains adequate hardness while resisting rust.
BMT Bearings controls every step from raw material to finished roller:
Raw material inspection: Chemical composition and internal defects checked for each batch.
Forging / CNC turning: Basic shape formed by forging, then rough-machined to dimensional accuracy.
Heat treatment: Controlled quenching and tempering to achieve 58–62 HRC with minimal distortion.
Precision grinding: Automatic grinding lines finish raceways and diameters to tight tolerances.
Assembly: Rolling elements, cage, rings, and seals are assembled on automated lines for consistency.
Noise and clearance inspection: Every piece is tested for running noise and radial play; rejects are removed.
Anti‑rust treatment: Cleaned and coated with rust-preventive oil.
Final packaging inspection: Appearance, labelling, and packaging integrity checked before shipment.
Consider these factors when choosing the right model:
Dimensions: Bore (pin diameter), outside diameter, and width based on load and space.
Load : Figure out the actual load each roller will carry, then check it against the values listed in the product tables for running and stationary condition.
Speed: Confirm the roller’s maximum allowable rotation speed for the application. Refer to the product data for the exact RPM limits for each model.
Track profile: Ensure the track shape like flat, V‑groove, etc. matches the outer ring profile like cylindrical or crowned.
Environment: Consider dust, moisture, and chemicals to choose sealing and material.

A standard bearing supports a rotating shaft inside a housing; a Yoke Type Track Roller has its outer ring directly contacting the track and bearing the load, hence the thicker ring and often a crowned profile to handle misalignment.
Choose crowned if misalignment is possible; choose cylindrical when alignment is precise and maximum contact area is needed.
Yes, slightly, due to seal friction. Check the product tables for specific RPM limits.
Yes. We offer non-standard dimensions, special surface treatments, custom branding, and modified sealing/cage materials; contact us to further discuss OEM details.
