Osborn Load Runners
Osborn Load Runners are robust assemblies of carefully fabricated outer shells/treads and precision bearings fitted to high tolerance shafts. All Osborn Load Runners match the tread, shaft and bearings into a cohesive, highly engineered unit used in dozens of industries and hundreds of applications.
Manufactured in Richmond, Indiana, USA, Load Runners feature heat-treated specialty steel, precision bearings, a maintenance-free lubrication and seal system, and a global network of sales support and application engineering expertise.
Why Use Load Runners
For Precision Handling of Heavy Loads in Tough Environments
- Combine the high capacity of Load Runners idler-rollers with high-strength steel Load Rails, cut to length and drilled to your specifications. Eliminate design time and sourcing costs for heavy-duty material handling systems.
Every Piece is Designed to Perform
- Idler-roller treads are machined from high-alloy steel, then case hardened for a wear-resistant outer shell and tough inner core.
- Precision tapered roller bearings (larger sizes) and deep-groove ball bearings withstand heavy radial and thrust loads, as well as high speeds.
- Idler-rollers are tightly sealed and lubricated for life to withstand dirt, sand, and moisture. High-shear-strength studs (stud style) with hex socket for easy installation. Thru-shafts (yoke style) eliminate the need for customer fabrication.
- Load Rails are straight and twist-free, with hardened contact surfaces to insure precise linear motion for your critical applications.
