Combination of High Strength and Lightweight Design: Steel roller body ensures load-bearing durability, while the polymer bearing block reduces overall weight and provides corrosion resistance.
Smooth and Efficient Operation: Precision ball bearings are securely housed within the polymer bearing block, ensuring quiet and smooth operation with a maximum linear speed of 100 meters per minute.
Excellent Protective Performance: Both ends of the roller are equipped with plastic end caps, effectively preventing dust and splash ingress, thereby extending bearing service life.
Convenient Side Loading: In the standard configuration, the bearing block with end caps and bearings is pressed into the roller tube, and the tube ends are crimped with rounded edges to facilitate smooth side loading of materials.
Low-Noise Operation: Utilizes precision ball bearings, polyamide bearing blocks, and seals, significantly reducing operational noise and making it suitable for environments where quiet operation is required.
The R1200 series universal gravity rollers are suitable for indoor conveyor systems. They are particularly ideal for deploying gravity or push‑type light to medium‑duty conveying lines in a cost‑effective manner, and can also be used for inclined conveying. Widely applied in:
Production workshops
Warehousing facilities
Logistics centers
Additionally, this roller can also serve as belt support rollers or belt tension rollers for belt conveyors, offering strong compatibility.
Transfer and sorting of light to medium‑duty boxes and parcels
Manual push sections on assembly or packaging lines
Inclined gravity conveying sections
Work environments sensitive to noise
Indoor conditions with dust or occasional splash exposure
With its reliable structure, smooth operation, and low long‑term maintenance requirements, this roller is an ideal choice for improving conveying efficiency and optimizing space layout. It helps enterprises achieve more efficient and economical material flow solutions.
