In modern production lines, conveyor rollers are an indispensable part. They efficiently transport various goods by rotating. In order to better utilize conveyor rollers to improve work efficiency, it is essential to understand their structure and characteristics. The following are several common types of conveyor rollers and their characteristics:
1️⃣ Drive rollers and passive rollers
Drive rollers and passive rollers are the basic structures of conveyor rollers. As the transmission part, the drive roller usually bears a large weight and consists of a shaft, a flange and a roller body. The passive roller structure is relatively simple.
2️⃣ Conical rollers
Conical rollers have a conical appearance and are mainly used for the arc section of the conveyor line to ensure that the goods will not deviate during transportation. They are wear-resistant and have a long service life.
3️⃣ Grooved conveyor rollers
Grooved rollers consist of a parallel roller and two conveyor rollers, and are mainly used to transport bulk materials. This structure has high requirements for production technology.
4️⃣ Rubber conveyor rollers
For the special needs of certain industries, conveyor rollers can be rubberized. The rubber-coated surface can resist corrosion and friction, and the rubber layer can also absorb impact and protect the conveyor roller.
