Product Overview: LR 5205 Track Roller Bearing
The LR 5205 is a high-performance track roller bearing, expertly designed with principal dimensions of 25x62x20.6mm. This component is engineered to run on all types of tracks and to be used in cam drives, conveyor systems, and other linear motion applications. Based on the robust design of a double-row angular contact ball bearing, the LR 5205 can accommodate high radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions, making it a versatile solution for complex load scenarios.
As a crucial part of our Track Rollers collection, this bearing features a thick-walled outer ring with a crowned profile. This special profile helps to reduce edge stresses and allows the bearing to tolerate slight misalignments relative to the track, ensuring smoother operation and extending the service life of both the bearing and the track. Sealed on both sides, it is well-protected against contaminants and retains lubricant effectively. For demanding linear guidance applications, explore our full range of Angular Contact Ball Bearings for more specialized solutions.
Key Features of the LR 5205 Bearing
- Double-Row Angular Contact Design: Provides excellent capacity for handling combined radial and axial loads from both directions.
- Crowned Outer Ring: Reduces edge loading and stress concentration, allowing for slight misalignment and ensuring even load distribution.
- Thick-Walled Construction: The robust outer ring is designed to withstand high rolling contact stresses without deformation.
- Integrated Sealing: Typically comes with seals on both sides (e.g., 2RS) to protect against dust and moisture, while retaining lubrication.
- High-Quality Material: Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel for superior durability, hardness, and wear resistance.
- Ready-to-Mount Unit: Designed for simple and efficient installation in a wide range of machinery.
Common Applications
- Linear Motion Systems: Provides precise and reliable guidance for automated machinery and robotic arms.
