Tapered Roller

Tapered rollers enable accurate curve transportation by resolving differential linear speed challenges. Unlike conventional rollers, their engineered geometry ensures smooth cargo transition on bends—critical for logistics, mining, and automated systems.

Working Principle

Line Speed Compensation

The conical design creates a diameter-dependent linear velocity gradient:

• Outer surface: Higher line speed (compensates for longer path on curve)

• Inner surface: Lower line speed (matches shorter path on curve)

This gradient ensures synchronized cargo movement around bends.

Alignment Mechanics

1. Calculated Installation Angle
   Roller axis is installed at a precise conical degree (tailored to curve radius).

2. Horizontal Contact Maintenance
   Roller surface maintains continuous horizontal contact with cargo, preventing tilting.

3. Friction-Free Conveyance
   Generatrix extension (line formed by roller surface) intersects the curve’s center point, enabling zero-friction transition through centrifugal force balancing.

How Tapered Rollers Solve Curve Conveyor Challenges？

Unlike straight rollers causing slippage/jamming on curves, our tapered rollers compensate for varying linear speeds:

• Outer diameter = Higher linear speed

• Inner diameter = Lower linear speed

• Roller axis tilt + horizontal surface = Optimal alignment

Critical Design: Generatrix extension intersects circle center for zero-friction conveying.
