PRODUCTS: Idlers (Steel Rollers) for conveyors

The revolutionary centrifugal self-cleaning action of the seals ensure that bearings are able to reach their designed life. Grease-free sealing elements result in much lower friction values than conventional designs.

Specifications

Bearings: Deep groove double sealed or shielded bearings of tolerance class C3 and C4 are used. This allows for a larger amount of angular misalignment at the bearing than other bearing designs and classes.

Steel Tube: Only high quality tube specially manufactured for idlers for converyors is used and conforms to SABS 657/3 (1980). Shell ends are machined to prevent belt wear.

Steel Shaft: Manufactured from steel which complies with the requirements for grade 070 M20 of BS 970-1. The shaft diameter tolerance is as recommended by bearing manufacturers and ensures a js6 fit. Shaft end slots are machined to customer standards.

Hollow Shaft: Stepped light weight hollow steel shafts equivalent in strength and rigidity to solid shafts are available on request.

Bearing Housing: Manufactured from deep drawing material KHR1. Housings are pressed and MIG-welded to the inside of the tube.

Corrosion Protection: External coat of self Etch primer unless otherwise specified.

Circular Movement Tolerance (TIR): TIR does not exceed 0,5 mm measured at a distance of 25 mm from the roller end face. Actual TIR values are less and can be verified by reference to historical data.

Roller Face Length (mm)
TIR
D<=127 D>127
Up to 536 0,5 0,6
586 to 965 0,7 0,9
994 to 1 450 1,3 1,6
1 602 to 2 518 1,9 2,3

Idler Running Friction: Lorbrand Idlers for conveyors have frictionless seals.

Idler drag is due to bearings only and is therefore easy to predict. Drag is dependent on factors such as loading, rpm, bearing type, characteristics and temperature.
Consult Lorbrand for friction values.
Lorbrand is able to test rollers according to CEMA (Edition 6, Appendix F) "Kis" test procedure and also actual friction values under various load and ambient temperature conditions. Tests can be performed on actual bearings supplied on a particular project.
Typical friction values for 3 roll carry idlers at rated load running at 500 rpm are listed below.

FRICTION VALUES FOR SET OF 3 ROLLS IN NEWTONS
VALUES BASED ON 2RS TYPE BEARING SEALS
AND LGMT2 GREASE @ 500RPM & 40 DEG C BEARING TEMP

 

Seal Design

Primary Sealing
The success of the primary sealing area lies in the fact that dirt which enters is ALLOWED TO ESCAPE. The metal seal collects dirt and flings it radially outward due to centrifugal force (3-9 times gravitational).

Secondary Sealing
Dirt which enters secondary sealing area is again propelled outwards by centrifugal force. All sealing surfaces are clean and free from contact and do not require packing with grease. The sealing arrangement is so designed that water drains out of the seal when the idler is stationary.

Most secondary seals on the market are of the labyrinth type and centrifugal force actually helps keep dirt in the sealing area where it can work its way back to the bearing.

Bearing Sealing
Greased for life bearings complete with seals on both sides are used. The bearing seals form the final barrier against dirt ingress, especially rust particles which are formed due to condensation inside the shell tube.
