Metal Roller Bearings MTR
MTR housings are steel end caps for gravity rollers that carry real load — pallets, weldments, steel stock — or that run where a moulded housing would soften or creep.
Metal Roller Bearings MTR models we manufacture
The problem this group solves
Plastic housings creep under sustained heavy load and lose their press fit; in a pallet flow rack that shows up as end caps walking out of the tube.
How to choose
Use metal where load, temperature or impact rules out plastic; keep plastic where noise and corrosion matter more than rating.
Typical applications
- Pallet flow racks and heavy gravity runs
- Steel stock and fabrication handling
- High-temperature areas near ovens and hot product
- Impact-loaded dispatch runs

Comparison GuidePlastic or Metal Roller End Caps
The end cap decides the noise, the roll resistance and the life of a gravity roller. Choosing between a moulded and a steel housing comes down to four questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are metal end caps noisier?
Steel on steel transmits more noise than a moulded housing. On heavy applications the load usually decides it anyway.
Do MTR housings need lubrication?
The bearing is supplied greased; the housing itself does not need maintenance under normal conditions.
