All-Plastic Conveyor Roller Bearings Improve Performance,
Reduce Cost in Wash-Down Conveyor Systems

Hartford Technologies’ custom all-plastic conveyor roller bearings provide
superior corrosion resistance and reduced cost compared to steel or stainless
steel equivalents, making them ideal for use in wash-down conveyor systems.
Available in numerous materials and sizes, the new all-plastic roller bearings
can significantly lower both the acquisition and maintenance costs associated
with today’s complex systems. Where several hundred are used, plastic
components can significantly reduce total system weight, facilitating
easier installation and maintenance.

Designers have typically relied on a limited number of bearing material
options for wash-down conveyor systems, often at a premium cost.
By using engineered plastics, designers now have another option at a
fraction of the cost. Hartford Technologies’ design team will custom-
design rollers specifically for a customer’s system requirements.

Hartford Technologies develops, manufactures, and delivers precision
glass balls, precision metal balls, rollers and pins, bearing, modular bearing
systems and sub-assemblies for automotive, aerospace, medical, consumer,
agriculture and other industries.

Headquartered in Rocky Hill, CT., Hartford Technologies offers comprehensive
R&D, manufacturing, and extensive metallurgical and testing capabilities to
meet customers’ needs. Hartford Technologies is a QS 9000 and ISO
9001:2008-certified company and a Tier I and Tier II automotive supplier.

Linear Bearing Assemblies
Speed Production, Reduce Cost

Hartford Technologies’ modular bearing assemblies combine precision ball
or roller bearings with plastic or steel retainers to speed installation and
reduce handling and installation costs. Available in numerous sizes and
materials, modular bearing assemblies can be designed for most linear
sliding applications, including seat tracks and drawer slides.

In seat track assemblies, it is important for the balls or rollers to maintain
adequate spacing to insure proper load distribution. Early designs relied on
several individual spacers and several balls or rollers. This made assembly
time-consuming and inconsistent. Since the retainer is not load-bearing,
the use of lightweight, inexpensive materials, such as plastics, is ideal for
these applications. Incorporating multiple balls or rollers into a single retainer
produces more consistent quality and significant savings in installation time.

All Hartford Technologies modular bearing assemblies are custom designed
using 3-D CAD software, taking the customer’s requirements from concept
through production while producing a no-compromise fit in their application.

As a global automotive supplier, Hartford Technologies uses its global
manufacturing resources to produce designs in a broad range of materials
and configurations. In addition to precision ball and roller manufacturing,
Hartford Technologies offers injection molding, cold forming, precision
machining, and metal stamping to provide customers with a seamless solution.
