Other Conveyor Components:
PRECISION BALL BEARINGS
Precision bearings are typically ABEC 1 motor grade bearings. These bearings feature machined inner and outer rings that are ground and hardened. They are fully sealed, factory pre-greased and offer the highest load and RPM capabilities of all the bearing options available. ABEC bearings are mounted to the roller tube by press fitting directly into the bore, press fit into a machined washer or fitted into a thermoplastic adapter.

PLASTIC BALL BEARINGS
These are light duty bearings for low loads and speeds where the primary concern is corrosion, rust or chemical resistance. The bearings have molded inner and outer races, generally have stainless steel balls and are available in either full complement or caged construction. These bearings are often used with stainless steel tubes for food grade or field applications. For additional information on these materials, please consult the section on Thermoplastic and Specialty Conveyor Rollers.

BUSHINGS
We offer a large variety of bushing materials if a rolling element bearing is not desired. Bushings offer the advantage of higher load capacity under lower speed conditions. Bushings are available in UHMW, Sintered and Oil impregnated bronze and wood. For additional information on these materials, please consult the section on Thermoplastic and Specialty Conveyor Rollers. Most bushings require a hex adapter to mate the round  bore of the bushing to the hexagonal cross section of the axle. The adapter then rotates within the bore of the bushing.

SHAFTING
The primary purpose of any axle is to mount the roller to the conveyor frame. A well designed axle will not rotate or move within the frame and will engage the bearing in such a manner as to cause the roller to rotate on the bearings and around the locked axle.

HEXAGONAL AXLES
The overwhelming majority of conveyor rollers 3" in diameter and under use a hex shaft for an axle. All of the bearings used in these sizes (from the light duty models to ABEC 1 precision units) come with some form of hex adapter or form for the ID of the bearing. We offer hex shafting 1/4", 7/16" and 11/16" in both low carbon and stainless steel. The hex slips into a hex adapter in the bore of most bearings and locks into a mating hex on the conveyor frame to ensure full rotation of the rolling element bearing.
