Stainless Steel – 316 Material

PCI 316 Stainless Steel Track Rollers and XR Rollers provide the Ultimate in Corrosion Resistance. This series is manufactured with all external components in 316 marine grade stainless steel materials. Food grade lubricant and fluorocarbon seals protect internal bearings in washdown environments.

Stainless Steel – 440c Plus Series

PCI Stainless Steel Plus Series Track Rollers and XR Rollers provide High Load Corrosion Resistance. This series is manufactured with high strength stud materials, uses 440c stainless steel materials PLUS proprietary heat treatment roller bodies for superior load capacity. Food grade lubricant and fluorocarbon seals protect internal bearings in washdown environments.

High Temperature – up to 350°

Defeat Extreme Heat with PCI High Temperature Track Rollers & XR Rollers. Internal elements are protected by fluorocarbon seals and high temperature synthetic lubricant to allow for performance in environments up to 350°F. Regreasable options are IN STOCK.

High Temperature – up to 660°F

Defeat Extreme Heat with PCI High Temperature Track Rollers & XR Rollers. Internal elements are protected by steel shields and a solid lubricant to allow for performance in environments up to 660°F. Relubrication is not needed and items are IN STOCK.

Low Temperature – Class X

PCI Low Temperature Class X Series Track Rollers and XR Rollers provide Optimized Cost, Load and Temperature Resistance. This series is custom manufactured for your application and load capacity needs. All Class X components are provided per your specification.

Non-Metallic

PCI Non-Metallic Track Rollers & XR Rollers provide Quiet, Non-Sparking Performance. Roller bodies are manufactured from a thermoplastic material in a solid end-cap design. This design eliminates exposure of the internals from the roller end of the assembly.

PCI’s Premier Stainless Steel Load Bearing Roller Assemblies options!

Most stainless cam follower product offerings sacrifice either load capacity or corrosive properties. PCI allows you to choose what’s right for you.
Both standard offerings are manufactured with food grade lubricant and feature PCI Infinity Roller™ Technology seals to protect internal bearings in washdown environments.

Standard Offering Option 1: This PCI® series is manufactured with 316 Stainless Steel materials for the exposed surfaces – this has nearly 40% greater resistance to pitting corrosion than 400 series grades.
If corrosion resistance is your goal, PCI 316 Stainless Steel Track Rollers & XR Rollers are your engineered stainless steel solution.

Standard Offering Option 2: This PCI® series is manufactured with 2205 higher strength stud materials, uses 440c stainless steel materials PLUS feature proprietary heat treatment roller bodies to withstand higher load capacities.
If superior load capacity while maintaining corrosion resistance is your goal, PCI 440c Plus Stainless Steel Track Rollers & XR Rollers are your engineered stainless steel solution.

Customizable Class X Option 3: This PCI® series is custom manufactured for your application and load capacity needs.
All Class X components are provided per your specification.
If flexibility with varied/mixed material combinations to optimize your cost and application needs is your goal, PCI Class X Stainless Steel Track Rollers & XR Rollers are your custom stainless steel solution.

High Temperature Application Challenges

PCI’s standard-temperature Track Rollers and XR Rollers are designed to withstand continuous temperatures up to 225˚F. Exposure to temperatures beyond this level will cause premature roller failure due to the breakdown of two critical components: lubrication and seals. The operational consequences of exposing unsuitable rollers to high temperatures can be significant. Premature roller failure in these extreme environments results in more frequent maintenance and replacements, which drives up operational costs and system downtime.  PCI High Temperature options address the most common failure points in high-temperature environments, minimizing downtime and maximizing roller life.

Extend High Temperature Performance with Relube Provisions up to 350°

PCI High Temperature Rollers are available IN STOCK with regreasing provisions to maximize life in your demanding application. PCI High Temperature Track Rollers & XR Rollers are supplied with wrench flats for easy installation and a readily accessible grease fitting located in the end of the stud for ease of maintenance. Add a “-R” suffix to the part number to Replenish & ReUse…Relube.

Extend High Temperature Performance with No Relubrication Needed up to 660°F

PCI High Temperature Rollers are available IN STOCK. PCI incorporates Cobra Solid Lubricant™ (CSL) – a mixture of graphite and binders creating a solid lubricant in this offering. The solidified mixture will fill the entire space between the races, rolling elements and cage to prevent metal to metal contact. CSL prevents contaminates from entering the bearing while providing a low coefficient of friction. Unlike petroleum-based lubricants, CSL™ cannot be washed out by steam or other common solvents, acids, or alkalis except under direct high-pressure. CSL will not drip or fling, is environmentally clean and may substantially increase bearing life and eliminate relubrication maintenance – even at high temperatures!

Low Temperature Application Challenges

PCI’s standard-temperature Track Rollers and XR Rollers are designed to withstand continuous temperatures up to 225˚F. Exposure to temperatures beyond this level will cause premature roller failure due to the breakdown of two critical components: lubrication and seals. The operational consequences of exposing unsuitable rollers to low temperatures can be significant. Premature roller failure in these extreme environments results in more frequent maintenance and replacements, which drives up operational costs and system downtime.  PCI Low Temperature options address the most common failure points in low-temperature environments, minimizing downtime and maximizing roller life.

PCI Non-Metallic Load Bearing Roller Assemblies are quiet!

PCI’s Non-Metallic roller body design absorbs vibration and reduces the likelihood of metal-on-metal sparking to provide reliable Non-Sparking, Quiet Performance. PCI® Non-Metallic Rollers are more than 10 dBa quieter than their metallic counterparts – that’s a 50% reduction in sound over traditional carbon steel Track Roller and Cam Follower products.
