CONVEYOR ROLLERS
Low-friction, precision-manufactured conveyor rollers engineered for long service life, smooth belt support, and demanding bulk materials-handling applications.
Built around the bearing
A roller can only last as long as its bearings, and a bearing lasts as long as its seat, its shaft and its seals allow. Lorbrand makes its own bearing housings and calibrates every bearing seat, and every shaft is CNC-machined with ground bearing spindles, so each bearing runs true through its full fatigue life.
Four decades of refinement sit behind that standard, carried through every construction in the range, from steel and composite to lined, impact, hybrid and stainless rollers.
Roller types
Steel Rollers
Welded steel for heavy-duty and overland systems, with calibrated bearing seats that hold their tolerance for decades and 4-stage labyrinth sealing for low-friction, long-life running.
Composite Rollers
Lightweight and low-noise, with a belt-friendly composite tube that performs well in wet carry-back and corrosive environments and eases handling during change-out. Glass-fibre-reinforced nylon housings sit in long, concentrically bored landings in a GF HDPE tube.
HDPE & UHMWPE-Lined Rollers
An HDPE or UHMWPE lining machined to low TIR on a Lorbrand steel roller: handles wet or sticky carry-back, runs quieter than bare steel and carries heavier belt loads than a composite roller.
Impact Rollers
Full-face rubber discs, vulcanised onto steel rings, absorb falling material under loading zones and stay locked in place under heavy loading.
High-Impact Rollers
Takes severe impact in loading zones on heavier-section discs in a high-impact rubber compound; solid machined housings and spherical bearings are available for extra-heavy duty.
Rubber-Disc Return Rollers
Sheds carry-back on the return side: spaced rubber discs keep material from building up on the running surface, for a cleaner return run.
Hybrid Rollers
Steel tube strength with press-fitted glass-fibre-reinforced nylon housings that reduce the risk of belt damage from contact with a housing edge. Suits heavy-duty conveyors and inaccessible areas with infrequent inspection.
Stainless Steel Rollers
Designed for use under magnets and on conveyors handling magnetic materials, where its non-magnetic construction and strength are needed. It also resists corrosion in wet, coastal, chemical and washdown environments.
Accurate assembly, measured and run-tested
High-accuracy assembly machines and controlled manufacturing and quality processes hold every roller to tight tolerances.
Assembly quality decides running friction, belt tracking, noise, vibration and bearing service life.
Dimensions and TIR
Standard dimensional measurements, plus bearing seat tolerance and concentricity (TIR) measurements.
Dynamic balance
Dynamic balance checks on the finished roller, with balance rectification where required.
Running test
Standard roller testing logs start-up torque, TIR, running torque and ambient temperature.
Sensor Seal running test
Adds bearing temperatures, vibration level, the RPM/torque graph and wireless transmission performance, all recorded against the roller's and the Sensor Seals' unique serial numbers.
Standard across the range
Each roller type page lists the sizes and options specific to that roller.
