How to choose a roller?

Conveyor loading

The required load on a conveyor system will determin the roller’s thickness and diameter. Usually, roller now has common standards diameters of 42mm, 49mm and 60mm.

Rollers with larger or smaller diameter are produced up on special requests.

Working environment

The working environment wher the roller is used determines the material the roller is made of. Usually the roller is made of carbon steel. However, if the environment is with water or chemical, the roller can be made of stainless steel 201 or 304.

The working environment also determines the material used for conveyor body, such as frame, legs, and supporting structure.

Bearing in rollers

The conveyor roller is supporting use. The rotation speed of the roller is not much fast. It is unlike other mechanical devices rotation speed. So it is possible to use normal bearings for cost-effective production. There is no need to use expensive high-brand bearings.

However, processing the bearing seal should be good, with a specialized equipment. Bearing will quickly deteriorate when dirt gets inside.

Two ends of roller

Some unprofessional workshop makes roller manually without equipment. If the two ends of roller is processed manually, the roller is only used in light, low intensity applications.
