Abstract: Reciprocating floor slat conveyor systems typically utilize floor slats that reciprocate back and forth while riding on bearings. The bearings sometimes have a curved “J” shape and, as a consequence, are commonly referred to as “J bearings.” The design disclosed here is an improved version of a J bearing that has segmented surfaces that are angled, rather than curved, relative to each other. Angled surfaces reduces voids between bearings and floor slats.
