SR620 Double Sprocket Accumulating Roller Conveyor Line

The SR620 double sprocket accumulating roller conveyor line is designed for automated material handling applications that require continuous drive, controlled accumulation and flexible workflow coordination. Using a chain-driven roller system with mechanical friction accumulation, it allows products to stop temporarily at designated positions while the drive chain continues running.

The conveyor consists of a drive motor, roller chains, accumulation rollers and a supporting frame. Its compact construction supports integration into production lines, assembly workstations and automated logistics systems.

Unlike a conventional roller conveyor that moves products continuously, an accumulating roller conveyor allows products to queue temporarily when downstream operations are unavailable. This helps coordinate different workstations, buffer materials between processes and support non-synchronous production workflows.

The SR620 can be configured with different roller diameters, roller pitches and roller materials according to load requirements, product dimensions and operating conditions.

Key Applications: Industrial assembly lines, automotive component handling, appliance manufacturing, warehouse logistics and automated material buffering.

Key Features of the Accumulating Roller Conveyor

1. Mechanical Friction Accumulation

The friction-based roller mechanism allows products to stop when held by a designated stopping device, while the drive sprocket continues rotating. This supports temporary product accumulation without requiring the drive system to stop whenever a product is held.

2. Chain-Driven Power Transmission

The chain and sprocket drive transfers power to the accumulation rollers, providing a driven conveying surface for suitable cartons, containers, pallets and industrial components.

3. Adjustable Accumulation Force

Selected adjustable accumulation rollers feature an internal spring and friction-plate mechanism. Accumulation force can be adjusted through a tail-end nut to accommodate different conveying loads and operating requirements.

4. Flexible Conveyor Integration

The roller conveyor can be integrated with compatible conveyor sections and material handling equipment to support production flow, temporary buffering and workstation coordination.

5. Multiple Roller Material Options

Galvanized steel and stainless steel rollers are available within the product's configuration range. Material selection can be matched to the conveyed goods and operating environment.

6. Practical Maintenance

The roller assemblies are mounted on the conveyor frame. Selected adjustable roller designs feature detachable components to facilitate maintenance and replacement.

How Does a Friction Accumulating Roller Conveyor Work?

The accumulating roller conveyor uses mechanical friction to transmit torque during normal conveying and permit relative sliding when products are blocked.

Step 1: Normal Conveying

The drive motor transfers power through the chain and sprockets. The friction mechanism drives the roller tube, moving products along the conveyor line.

Step 2: Product Stops

When a product reaches a designated stopping position, the stopping mechanism holds it in place. The roller tube stops rotating with the product.

Step 3: Friction Slippage and Accumulation

The chain continues driving the sprocket, while relative sliding occurs within the friction mechanism. This allows the product to remain stationary while the drive continues running.

The accumulation force of adjustable rollers can be regulated through the spring pressure adjustment mechanism, helping match the conveyor to different load conditions.

Polymer Sprocket Accumulation Rollers

These rollers use polyamide sprockets and precision bearings. Their lightweight construction and lower operating noise make them suitable for light-load conveying applications, including carton handling, e-commerce logistics and warehouse picking systems.

Key characteristics include low operating noise, wear-resistant components and protective end caps designed to help limit dust and water ingress.

Steel Sprocket Accumulation Rollers

Steel sprocket rollers provide a robust drive structure for conventional light-load conveying applications. They offer smooth rotation and a durable sprocket construction for compatible industrial conveying systems.

Protective end caps help limit dust and water ingress around the roller components. Compared with polymer sprocket designs, steel sprockets generally produce more operating noise.

Adjustable Friction-Plate Steel Accumulation Rollers

These rollers use steel sprockets and a specialized friction-plate mechanism to transmit torque. A tail-end adjustment nut allows the accumulation force to be regulated according to operating requirements.

Key characteristics include adjustable accumulation force, wear-resistant friction plates, robust steel bearing components and detachable components on the sprocket side for maintenance. Applicable configurations also support a wider operating temperature range and higher loads than sleeve-type rollers.

How to Choose the Right Accumulating Roller Conveyor

Selecting the right accumulating roller conveyor depends on load weight, accumulation force, noise requirements, operating temperature and maintenance needs. The following guidelines help identify a suitable roller configuration.

Choose Polymer Sprocket Rollers for Light Loads

Polymer sprocket accumulation rollers are suitable for light-load applications where low operating noise and smooth operation are priorities. Typical applications include cartons, totes and lightweight products in warehousing and distribution systems.

Choose Steel Sprocket Rollers for Conventional Applications

Steel sprocket accumulation rollers offer a robust drive structure for conventional light-load conveying tasks. They are suitable for applications that require a durable steel sprocket without frequent adjustment of accumulation force.

Choose Adjustable Friction-Plate Steel Rollers for Higher Loads

Adjustable friction-plate steel accumulation rollers are suitable for applications requiring greater accumulation force control and higher load capacity. Their adjustable friction mechanism helps accommodate different load conditions, making them suitable for automotive component handling and industrial assembly lines.

Consider the Operating Environment

Evaluate the operating temperature, conveyed material and environmental conditions when selecting roller materials. The listed temperature range is -5°C to +40°C for sleeve-type rollers and -10°C to +80°C for applicable adjustable rollers.

For applications exposed to moisture or frequent cleaning, consider the compatibility of the roller material, bearings, end caps and other components with the actual operating environment.

Confirm the Conveyor Configuration Before Ordering

Before selecting a conveyor, consider the following factors:

  • Product dimensions and base structure

  • Total load weight and load distribution across the rollers

  • Required roller diameter and roller pitch

  • Conveying speed and conveyor dimensions

  • Accumulation positions and required accumulation force

  • Operating temperature and environmental conditions

  • Integration requirements for the existing production line

These factors help determine a suitable roller configuration and conveyor layout for the intended application.
