Gravity rollers - oval axle
The standard range of Backsafe rollers are manufactured
with an ‘oval’ shaped formed axle. This effectively locks
the axle in the frame and holds the inner bearing firmly
thus ensuring maximum efficiency from the ball race.
An internal spring at one end enables the axle to be
laterally moved for ease of assembly, alterations to roller
pitch or removal for maintenance.
Three ranges are offered to suit standard applications
and operating conditions. The rollers in curved sections
are of the double differential type, enabling cartons etc.
to maintain a controlled course and not wander to the
outside of the curve.
Although manufactured to suit the Backsafe gravity
conveyor frame, non-standard lengths and axle types
are available on application. If adverse operating
conditions are encountered, it is important that you
refer to your nearest Backsafe representative to ensure
the best selection possible. For instance, galvabond
rollers and polypropylene rollers with sealed stainless
bearings and axles are available to suit moderate to
heavy corrosive conditions.
As roller capacities quoted are for moving flat objects,
selections should also take into account possible
impact, where a heavier roller is more suitable.
For ease of movement and reduction in damage,
there should always be a minimum of three rollers
under the commodity at all times. Where there are
multiple sizes of products involved, roller pitch is
determined by the smallest commodity to be moved.
