conveyor roller with plastic ball bearing

The company is an expert in the field of pioneering adhesive solutions such as anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft protection in the form of adhesive seals. The aim was to find cost-effective and maintenance-free ball bearings for use in conveyor rollers. There, the function of a deflection in the pressure roller before an intermediate drive was to be taken over. The pressure roller is set with a defined pressure force on the drive roller.

The combination of conveyor roller and intermediate drive not only serves to drive the product, but also generates web tension in the material, whereby different wrap angles can be set on the intermediate drive using the variable position of the conveyor roller. The different coatings of the rollers serve to protect the material as well as to improve material entrainment.

Problem

In the past, metallic ball bearings were used, which could only achieve low rolling friction with appropriate lubrication. The user was looking for a ball bearing solution that offered optimised savings potential, not only in terms of maintenance and weight, but also in terms of price.

Solution

The xiros plastic ball bearings now used are half the price and available more quickly than the ball bearings previously used. The user also benefits from the low weight, low friction and lubrication-free nature of the plastic ball bearings.
