Quiet-running bearings for conveyor applications

CB-14 Series conveyor bearings from Kilian Manufacturing are specifically designed to operate quietly and reliably in the most demanding material handling applications. The CB-14 bearing design combines two major features that act together to reduce the metal-to-metal contact that is a common source of noise throughout a conveyor system. A nylon retainer separates and guides the balls, while a pressed-in nylon adapter eliminates any direct contact of bearing ring with conveyor shaft. An adapter flange also acts as a bearing shield to exclude contaminants. CB-14 bearings use a one-piece, precision machined outer ring to prevent any spreading or splitting under load. Hardened raceways improve anti-friction performance. The ball separator design permits a speed of 2,000 rpm, higher than what could be achieved with full-complement bearings.
