Bearings for use in Gantry Crane

The bearings that we have opted to use are known as barrel roller bearings. We have opted for this design as they are known for their ability to cope with high axial loads and have the ability to cope with misalignments which may happen when loading the crane on planes which are not perfectly level, which is a realistic situation as the crane will be used in undulating terrain.

The requirements for our bearings are as follows, take a min load of 262.5kg each, have an inside diameter of 20mm, outside diameter of 47mm and a width of 14mm.

As a result the Gantry system will require 8 of these bearings for the running gear on the top beam of the gantry. 

The Bearing shown below is manufactured by a company called Shaeffler, a German company specialising in bearings for use in industry.
