A roller assembly for a passenger conveyor step chain includes a rolling contact bearing disposed between a bushing and an axle of the roller assembly. The rolling contact bearing improves wear resistance and load carrying capabilities of the roller assembly and step chain. In a particular embodiment, the roller assembly includes a pair of seals and a lubrication chamber. The seals define a sealed region encompassing the rolling contact bearing and lubrication chamber. The seals prevent lubrication from leaking and debris from penetrating into the sealed region.
