Gothic arch track roller bearings are precision cam-roller bearings with a concave Gothic arch profile ground into the outer rolling surface. Unlike flat or conventional single-radius track rollers, the Gothic arch profile is designed to create four-point contact with the mating shaft or rail raceway. This contact geometry distributes loads across multiple contact points, helping increase load capacity, maintain controlled rolling contact, and support accurate linear motion.
PBC Linear uses Gothic arch track roller bearings throughout its Cam Roller Technology (CRT) linear guide systems, including Redi-Rail® linear guides. As the rollers travel along the rail or shaft, the profiled outer surface helps maintain consistent engagement with the raceway while accommodating loads from multiple directions. This makes Gothic arch track rollers well suited for linear guide systems that require smooth travel, rigidity, and repeatable movement.
The sealed, self-contained track roller bearings are available in hardened 52100 chrome bearing steel or corrosion-resistant 440C stainless steel to suit different operating environments. Multiple bore and outer-diameter sizes are available for use as original equipment components, replacement bearings, or rolling elements in custom track roller and linear guide assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Gothic arch track rollers?
Gothic arch track rollers are sealed cam-roller bearings with a concave Gothic arch profile ground into the outer rolling surface. They run along a hardened shaft or rail raceway in linear guide systems.
Why do Gothic arch track rollers create four-point contact, and what are the benefits?
The Gothic arch profile has two curved flanks rather than one continuous circular radius. As the roller surrounds the curved shaft or rail raceway, each flank contacts the mating surface at two separated locations, creating four contact points in cross-section. Compared with two-point contact, this distributes loads across more locations and improves rigidity, running accuracy, alignment, load capacity, and resistance to forces from multiple directions.
Where are Gothic arch track rollers used?
PBC Linear uses Gothic arch track rollers in Cam Roller Technology linear guide systems, including Redi-Rail® guides. They are also available as replacement bearings and for custom track-roller guide assemblies.
What materials are available for Gothic arch track rollers?
Gothic arch track rollers are available in hardened 52100 chrome bearing steel or corrosion-resistant 440C stainless steel, depending on the required load capacity and operating environment.
Are Gothic arch track rollers sealed?
Yes. Gothic arch track rollers use sealed, self-contained bearing construction that retains lubrication and helps protect the internal rolling elements from contamination.
What surface do Gothic arch track rollers contact?
A concave Gothic arch profile is formed into the track roller's outer rolling surface. This surface contacts a hardened shaft or a raceway built into a linear rail.
