Meridian ML6 Coated Yoke Rollers Review: Specs, Price and Applications
Meridian ML6 polyurethane coated yoke rollers use American-made yoke-style bearings with black-oxide finish, or stainless on request, mounted through the centre bore on shoulder bolts or shafts.
Urethane is bonded to the outer race, runout is as low as 0.0015 in, and they are designed for high-load, heavy-duty guiding and support while absorbing shock and reducing noise.
Quick Verdict
Heavy-duty yoke rollers that combine load capacity with protective urethane contact.

Design and Operating Principle
ML6 is Meridian Laboratory's proprietary polyurethane compound, valued for abrasion resistance, tear strength, flexibility, chemical resistance and bond strength. Parts are precision molded to final dimensions in-house, usually without grinding or post-machining, and Meridian's mold library often avoids extra tooling charges.
Bonding the polyurethane directly to the core, rather than gluing a sleeve on, resists delamination and tear-off under high load and high cycle counts. Precision molding achieves total indicated runout as low as 0.0015 in, which keeps contact pressure even as the part rotates.
Integration and Selection
Select bearing size for load and mount on shoulder bolts. Choose durometer for track protection.
Use stainless in corrosive areas.
