Application Examples Of Gravity Rollers
Gravity Rollers
Retractable Gravity Rollers Chain
PVC Gravity Rollers
90°/180 ° bending gravity rollers conveyors, our conical roller conveyors powered without diagonal and diagonal angles are designed for use at 45 degrees and 90 degrees
Gravity rollers diameter, 50mm (small end). Roller material, galvanized steel/stainless steel/rubber/plastic. Rotation Angle, 90 °, 60°, 45°.
Flexible roller conveyor systems Retractable conveyors are Customised in various widths lengths and frames. Roller flexible conveyors are designed to transport goods efficiently and are economical.
The roller flexible conveyor is highly adaptable and can be pulled in and out, as well as bent around corners and obstacles, allowing for unlimited configurations. The conveyor has proven to significantly reduce the time required to transport products smoothly and efficiently, while reducing manual handling.
Spindle Conditions for Conveyor Rollers
Threaded
Round spindles can be threaded at either end to suit a metric or imperial nut. In most cases, the spindle is supplied loose.
Drilled and Tapped
Round spindles with 2 milled flats are used in conveyors with slotted side frames where rollers are lowered into position. In most cases, the spindle is supplied fixed within the roller.
Drilled Spindle End
Round spindles can be threaded at either end to suit a metric or imperial nut. In most cases, the spindle is supplied loose.
Drilled and Tapped
Both round and hexagonal spindles can be drilled and tapped at each end to enable the roller to be bolted between the conveyor side frames, thus increasing the rigidity of the conveyor.
Circlipped
External circlips can be used to captivate a spindle within a roller. This method of retention is usually found on heavy-duty rollers and drums.
Hexagonal
Extruded hexagonal spindles are suitable for punched conveyor side frames. In most cases, the spindle would be spring-loaded. The hexagonal shape prevents the spindle from rotating in the side frame.
