Typical Plastic Roller Applications

INTECH Power-Core™ plastic guide rollers and iCamFollowers^® are constructed with a precision machined plastic tire installed over high quality roller bearings. They run more quietly than metal roller bearings and cam follower bearings, do not wear out the rail or track, do not require lubrication, absorb vibration and shock, do not swell in moisture, work in sub-zero temperatures and have low rolling resistance. These features, including a high load-bearing capacity, make the Power-Core^™ plastic guide rollers and iCamFollowers suitable for countless applications.

Some examples include:

Automation

• Index Table Support
