Conveyor Idlers Spec Sheet

Stainless Steel Rollers

Non-magnetic and strong, for use under magnets and on conveyors carrying magnetic material: solid CNC-machined stainless steel bearing housings welded to standard-size stainless steel tube, with machined running surfaces and dynamic balancing.

Construction

Solid machined housings.
Stainless steel tube and shaft.

Solid CNC-machined stainless steel bearing housings welded to standard-size stainless steel tube give Lorbrand stainless steel rollers their strength. Proprietary manufacturing techniques and equipment keep weld deformation to a minimum.

Housings, tube and shaft are all stainless steel. The non-magnetic construction suits use under magnets in heavy-duty applications, and the material also resists corrosion in wet, coastal, chemical and washdown environments.

Key Design Features

Nothing moves, yields or creeps.

Five design features that determine bearing and roller life.

01

Precision bearing seats, constant tolerances

Solid machined housings hold constant bearing-seat tolerances throughout decades of service.

02

Welded housing-to-shell joint

The welded joint holds each housing in the shell, preventing the housing-to-shell failures that damage belt and frame.

03

Proven 4-stage sealing system

Centrifugal seal, labyrinth seal, storage seal and bearing seal work in series to keep contamination out and grease in, for maximum roller life.

04

Machined running surfaces, dynamically balanced

Running surfaces are machined and every roller is dynamically balanced, for smooth running at belt speed.

05

Concentrically machined & ground spindles

Stainless steel axle spindles are CNC-machined and ground concentric to the shaft, so the bearing runs true on its seat.

Factory-fitted options, available on the stainless steel roller range.

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Sensor Seals

A self-powered sensor built into the roller's end seal, reading temperature, vibration and speed, so a failing roller is found before it damages the belt.
