Conveyor Roller Terminology
| AGL: | An industry abbreviation for shaft length. |
| Bearing: | Fitted within the roller normally single ball race or also deep grooved ball bearing. Generally used to reduce friction aiding the roller to turn. |
| Effective length (EL): | The industry term for inside frame dimension. |
| Female threaded: | Uses a setscrew to fix the roller into the conveyor frame. Using this method also adds structural strength to the conveyor. |
| Fixed drive: | Positive drive between the drive mechanism and the roller tube. |
| Flatted shaft: | Milled flat on the roller shaft to prevent shaft from rotating when fitted in a appropriate sized slot. |
| Friction drive: | Normally associated with sprocket driven rollers, this allows the roller tube to be stopped allowing product to accumulate. |
| Grooved roller: | Used on a lineshaft or DC roller conveyor. A groove is usually formed into the roller tube to allow a polyurethane band to join the rollers together. |
| Over bearing projection (OBP): | Dimension over the bearings. Note this is normally different to the EL dimension. |
| Spring loaded shaft: | Normally used to fit gravity rollers into the frame. Simple press in the end of the shaft at one side into the bearing to fit the roller. |
| Sprocket: | Drive mechanism fitted to roller - normally push fit or welded (See fixed or friction drive) |
Gravity Conveyor Rollers
A gravity conveyor roller is an unpowered free moving roller that is widely used within conveyors and machines.
These are fitted either horizontally to easy manual handling, or on a decline so the roller turns when under a load. As a result, transporting goods along the conveyor section is simply achieved by manual force or gravity alone.
From lightweight to heavy-duty applications, our wide range of rollers are available in zinc plated mild steel, stainless steel and also plastic tubes with mild steel or stainless steel shafts.
Gravity rollers are generally the most economical roller as they suit a wide variety of applications including gravity roller conveyors.
Driven Conveyor Rollers
Spaceguard manufactures and supplies a wide range of driven rollers including sprocket driven for light and heavy-duty applications.
We also supply Grooved Rollers for use within 24V DC roller or lineshaft conveyors in addition to poly V driven rollers, which are an option for 24V roller conveyors as they transmit more drive than the grooved roller.
