Solid Rollers with Smooth Surface & Solid Body, making them ideal for moving components. Nitrile, neoprene or urethane material. Widely used for material and component handling in automated components.
Solid Rollers with Clutch Bearings, for brake left or brake right applications in controlling component movement.
Bearings included (held in place with snap rings). For more details on bearings please see technical pages.
Designed to be mounted onto a shaft. A hub extends past the roller and is supplied with two set screws at 90°.
Associated Products
Durasoft Rollers have "teardrop" holes to allow the roller to flex for firm but non-damaging contact.
Self compensating fixed shock absorbers are consistent and reliable dampening force or linear deceleration, throughout entire impact stroke.
Features
Product Overview
Solid Rollers - have a smooth surface and a solid body
Durasoft Rollers - have a smooth contact surface with teardrop holes to allow greater roller compression under load
Finned Rollers - are grooved and provides self-cleaning as dirt, debris and liquid pass under the contact surface of the roller
