Rosta elements: the three main categories in which they fit

All kinds of machine components are available.

Canadian industry has relied on Rosta Inc. for machine elements ever since it opened its local chapter in 1988 in Goodwood, Ont. As the Canada branch of its parent company, Rosta, this business keeps manufacturing equipment going in many sectors, with unmatched mastery of three technologies: rubber-suspension, oscillating-conveyor, and tensioning technology.

With three distinct business divisions that represent these respective technological areas, Rosta backs up this expertise with its impressive product lineup.

A long operational life

A wide range of Rosta components are used in anti-vibration mounts and elastic torsion mounts. Businesses in many sectors rely on these elements for springing, damping, and supporting purposes. Each of them can serve three functions, working as a torsional spring, a pivot bearing, or an anti-vibration mount.

Among the products in this category are rubber-suspension units, mounts, and accessories. All of these products need no maintenance, are completely silent, and last for a long operational life. Rubber-suspension technology has virtually infinite use, and its advantages include fewer components, no wear parts, improved system performance, and low life-cycle cost.

Rosta oscillating elements suit almost any application, but workers usually use them in conveyor technology. These components are essential for elastic suspension in any screen, sifter, conveyor trough, and discharge feeder. Examples include free oscillation systems, guided shaker systems, and gyratory sifters. Rosta suspension systems provide high levels of efficiency and isolation for all free oscillating vibrating systems, from onion sorting shakers to dewatering screens in mines. The company offers support for gyratory sifters and shaker screening from 50 to 40,000 newtons.

Tensioners from the Rosta team are durable under any conditions, and one of the top specialties of the company has always been the concept and production of elements for maintenance-free tensioning of belts and chain drives. Whether a client requires initial tensioning, large belt drives, or efficient secondary tensioning, Rosta can provide the ideal solution. Compensation of lengthening due to age or belt slip is not a problem with these tensioners, and periodical re-tensioning maintenance is not necessary. Tensioner devices, motor bases, and accessories are among the examples.
