Osborn Load Runners

Osborn Cam Follower, INC., a division of Jason, Inc., evolved from the Osborn Manufacturing Corp. Osborn Manufacturing had grown into the world's largest manufacturer of industrial brushes and foundry machines by the 1940s. The firm was organized and founded in 1887 by a group of investors headed by John Osborn and has evolved as the leader in idler roller & cam follower innovation.• Flanged Cam Followers• V-Groove Cam Followers• Plain Cam FollowersCAM RUNNER idler-rollers give designers a new way to control linear motion and support the lighter loads that don't require the heavy-duty performance of Osborn's Load Runners idler-rollers. Although they're dimensionally interchangeable with conventional needle-bearing cam followers, they provide important performance features no needle-bearing can deliver.No lubrication, no contaminationLoad Rails Osborn Load Rails are hardened on the rolling surface to 60-65 Rc and offer rail loadings of up to 71.500 lbs (317450 N) per roller.Load Runners Styles Each of the new styles of Osborn Load Runners was originally developed as a "special" to satisfy the requirements of extraordinary loads and severe environments. And each has been proven in thousands of hours of customer applications. NYLON TREAD Cost-effective performance in applications requiring a non-metallic outer face.URETHANE TREAD Proven in special applications calling for a wear-resistant, non-metallic rolling surface. STAINLESS STEEL Use where corrosive or other conditions make standard steel rollers unsuitable.HIGH-TEMPERATURE For ovens, galvanizing lines, heat treat furnaces and industrial dryers. Solid Lubricant Now Available Osborn's latest innovation in the Load Runner line is the addition of MicroPolysolid lubricant to the bearing assemblies. It is now available for special Load Runners orders, for hard-to-service or extra-heavy-duty applications.
