Bearing Type

  • Bearing assembly in steel design
  • Integrated double-row angular ball bearing
  • LVC is a bearing assembly designed as double-row angular contact ball bearing made of steel with two integrated bearing elements. Franke bearing assemblies in type LVC are suitable for the highest circumferential speeds. Convincing aspects include their high dynamism and low rotational resistance.

Characteristics

  • Ready to install, wide selection range
  • Preloaded free from clearance
  • For high speed and acceleration
  • Franke bearing assemblies type LVC are ready-to-use, complete bearings. The double-row angular contact ball bearing in 4-point adjustment is preloaded free of clearance. It is insensitive to impact and vibration. The low rotational resistance and the minimal breakaway torque reduce the necessary drive power. Bearing assemblies type LVC operate practically without maintenance and achieve a high service life due to the low friction values.

Diameter Range

  • From 100 – 1800m

LVG Rollers

Bearing Type

  • Bearing assembly in aluminum design with rollers
  • LVG is a 2-row angular roller bearing with aluminum housing and two integrated bearing elements.Franke bearing assemblies type LVG are suitable for highest load capacities. They convince by high rigidity, low rotational resistance and low weight.

Characteristics

  • Ready to install
  • Preloaded free from clearance
  • Franke bearing assemblies type LVG are ready-to-use, complete bearings with integrated Wire Race Bearings. Designed as roller bearings, they absorb equal load from all sides and are insensitive to impact and vibration. The bearing assemblies are sealed from both sides and adjusted free from clearance. Due to the housing parts made of aluminum the weight is reduced by 60% compared to steel bearings.

Diameter Range

  • From 200 – 400m

4 Point Principle

Our Wire Race Bearings are based on a simple yet ingenious principle: Individual race rings made of wire are fitted with a raceway that is designed precisely to match the diameter of the rolling elements. Therefore, the rolling action does not take place directly between the rolling elements and mating structure, but rather with low-friction on the four open race rings. This engineering principle permits free design of the mating structure in terms of its geometry and material selection.

Wire Race Bearings are extraordinarily compact and fit snug in even the tiniest mounting spaces. They are available either as bearing elements (consisting of race rings, rolling element and cage), or as ready-to-use bearing assemblies together with the mating structure.

Advantages

Maximum design freedom, without compromising precision or load capacity.

Principle

4 Point Contact

Freedom of Design

4 Point contact principle to take load from all directions. the rolling process does not take place directly between the rolling elements and the mating structure, but rather on special race rings, giving maximum freedom of design.

Compact

Minimal Mounting Space

Minimal Mounting Space

Requiring only a small mounting space, the compact and highly resilient four-point geometry of Franke Bearings gives you maximum freedom of design, making an ideal design component for your application.
