PowerCore composite motion components resist wear, run smoothly and eliminate the need for lubrication compared to their all-metal counterparts.

The primary role of these components is to transmit motion, it’s important to pay attention to the materials that make up the roller’s bearing surface. Selecting a hybrid design, consisting of a composite load bearing surface over a metal roller bearing, offers some compelling technical advantages. This design also contributes to the reliable, fast motion machine builders expect. Fast, Efficient Motion 50% Quieter Significant Cost Savings Fast, Efficient Motion ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/31693414_automated-robotic-assembly-electronic-circuit-board-smart-facto.jpg) ### Facilitate high-speed, energy-efficient motion. Track rollers and cam followers made from our proprietary PowerCore composite facilitate high-speed, energy-efficient motion in several ways: - iCam Polymer Track rollers weigh roughly 40 percent less than similarly sized metal rollers, reducing inertia in motion systems. - These components use high-speed ball bearings, which exhibit a lower rolling resistance than the greased needle bearings found in traditional metal track rollers or cam followers. 50% Quieter ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/32175034_medical-doctor-control-robot-of-x-ray-machines-hospital-computer.jpg) ### Provides Excellent Vibration Damping Characteristics Unlike metals, our PowerCore polymer dampens shock and vibration. In motion systems requiring cam followers, the polymer absorbs the damaging shock and vibration caused by reciprocating motion, unlocking several benefits: - iCam polymer track rollers run about 10 decibels quieter than their metal counterparts, resulting in 50% less noise on average. - Added vibration damping leads to less system variation and increased throughput with less adjustments. - The accuracy of metal. The total runout on a machined Power-Core™ cam follower with a 1.5-inch outer diameter is below +/-0.001 inch and the material formulated to stay that way. Significant Cost Savings ![](https://www.intechpower.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/INTECH-capped-roller-shaft-sealed-with-O-ring.jpg) ### Save more throughout the entire lifecycle The true cost of cam followers and track rollers has very little to do with their purchase price and everything to do with their lifecycle cost. Our PowerCore track rollers, cam followers and other power transmission components have extremely high ROI and save over the long haul in the following ways: - Polymer track rollers eliminate metal-on-metal wear and will pay for themselves many times over by eliminating the need to change out a motion system’s rails or cams. - iCam’s run lubrication free, extending maintenance intervals and eliminating costly grease or metal particle contamination of your products. - Wash downs destroy bearings – iNTECH’s iCAMs with hybrid ceramic withstand common washdown chemicals and won’t corrode or seize up. ## Find the ideal PowerCore components for your application.
