GEN II® takes conveyor bearing performance to an entirely new
level. GEN II bearings run faster, smoother and quieter than the
competition. They're produced to rigorous quality standards,
ensuring long life. And a full family of
GEN II bearings means
you'll
find one suitable for a large variety of bearing applications. You
get the best qualities of expensive precision bearings without the high
cost. The GEN II. It literally is the next generation in
conveyor bearing technology.
GEN II® bearings.
Just built better.
Old-style bearings are made of stamped metal outer races, machined inner
races and the least precise carbon steel balls. Our engineers knew
there had to be a better way. They determined that if you use a
better ball and tighten the tolerances, the result would be a better
bearing.
They developed a proprietary fabrication process, exclusive to the GEN II. It ensures a more precise fit-up between raceways and balls. To that, our engineers added the most precise carbon steel balls available.
The result, the GEN II bearing outlives standard conveyor bearings by as much as 10 times, at speeds up to 10 times faster.
Listen. You can hear the difference quality makes.
You probably already guessed it. By tightening the tolerances, the GEN II bearing runs quieter than competing conveyor bearings. As much as 14% quieter. The result is a more pleasant work environment that helps achieve OSHA noise standards.
It's fast. Up to 600 surface feet per minute.
By tightening the fit-up tolerances and using balls 10 times more precise than the balls used in old-style conveyor bearings, the GEN II is not only quieter, but considerably faster. Up to 10 times faster. Which means better conveyor performance and greater productivity.
The right solution for your application.
Unlike the competition, GEN II bearings come in a flexible range of sizes and specifications. The 176 Series, load rated for 176 pounds (80 kgs.). The 300 Series, a low-cost alternative to precision bearings in some applications, load rated up to 300 pounds (136 kgs.). The 620 Series, load rated for up to 620 pounds (280 kgs.). And for heavy-duty applications, the new 1000 Series, which can handle an impressive 1000-pound (452 kgs.) load rating. Check each link on the left for exact specifications. A full family of complete conveyor bearings, plus Core Bearings, and Frantz® Manufacturing engineering prowess, make GEN II the most versatile line of conveyor bearings available on the market today.
