Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure roller bearing for a pallet car of a pelletizing machine. The bearing includes an external annular race having: an exterior surface for reversible mating engagement with a tooth gap of a wheel, a pair of sidewalls defining ends of the bearing, wherein the radial diameter of the exterior surface at a center portion in the axial direction is greater than the radial diameter of the exterior surface at the ends of the bearing, and an interior annular groove; an internal annular race defining a hole therethrough for receiving an axle, and having an exterior annular groove; and a plurality of rolling cylindrical members located in an interior space defined by the interior annular groove and the exterior annular groove when the internal annular race is received by the external annular race.

Abstract: A roller with replaceable edge reinforcements is provided. A plurality of removable edge reinforcements are disposed radially along the peripheral edge of the end face of the roller. The reinforcements are slidably connected to the end face of the roller, either directly or indirectly, using male and female interlocking members, preferably in a U-shaped dovetail. The edge reinforcements are constructed from a suitably hard material and accept wear in place of the peripheral edge of the roller itself. In some embodiments, a pin and dimple arrangement is provided to assist the sliding engagement of the male and female members. A tool recess may also be provided to assist with removing the edge reinforcements.
