French term

galets de roulements à bourrelets

French to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation Tranformers
The only definition I could find for "galets de roulements à bourrelets" is "bead roller bearing" which seems to make sense in the following senence:


Des **galets de roulements à bourrelets** (selon DIN 42561), orientables dans les deux directions perpendiculaires, avec dispositif de blocage.

Is there another term for this?
Proposed translations (English)
3 flanged wheels
3 bearing rollers with weather strips

I wonder... ...if there might be a typo, and it ought to have been 'galets de roulement à bourrelets'? i.e. the 'roulement' (singular) describes what these 'galets' are for (rolling), rather than suggesting that they have 'roulements' in the sense of bearings.
Galet is always a bit tricky, as it can be several different things in EN depending on the exact size and shape. Here, I can't help wondering if they aren't simply little wheels for shifting the thing around?

Maybe it's the roller, a travelling roler
