Stainless Steel Conveyor Roller Technical Specifications
304-grade stainless steel is the standard type of conveyor roller material we offer. We also provide varying options depending on your specific application. You can choose to have the entire roller made of stainless steel or only specific components, such as the tube, axle, bearings, or a combination thereof.
Stainless steel conveyor rollers are designed for durability and precision and accommodate a wide array of challenging applications, such as corrosive and caustic environments or frequent wash-down conditions.
Features of Stainless Steel Conveyor Rollers
Stainless steel conveyor rollers include the following features:
- 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
- ABEC-1 bearings with 304 stainless steel balls
- Shielded or sealed bearings available as standard
- Spring-loaded on both ends for ease of installation
- Conveyor rollers are available in all standard tubing diameters
- Axle options include hex and round
- Load weights ranging from 20 pounds to 600 pounds
- Custom options available upon request
Sealed bearings provide a maintenance-free solution and perform better in high moisture or wash-down environments, but lubrication deterioration ultimately results in the need for replacement. Shielded bearings allow for re-lubrication and tend to promote higher speeds but are susceptible to moisture and contamination.
Applications of Stainless Steel Conveyor Rollers
You may need to select stainless steel conveyor rollers for several reasons. Conditions that call for increased levels of hygiene and frequent wash-downs mean surfaces must be easy to clean and retain as little contaminants as possible. These conditions also demand corrosion-resistant rollers. This type of conveyor roller is appropriate for:
- Stainless steel gravity roller conveyor systems
- Powered conveyor systems
- CDLR systems
The industries that use this type of conveyor roller include:
- Chemical: When handling various chemical products, you need conveyor rollers that are chemical- and caustic-resistant.
- Food processing: When dealing with consumables, you require a sanitary environment.
- Distribution and package handling: Package handling requires an array of weight considerations and load-bearing capabilities.
- Pharmaceuticals: This industry requires stringent cleanliness and immense precision.
- Electronics manufacturing: In addition to being clean and precise, stainless steel is a relatively poor conductor, meaning it reduces static electricity buildup.
