Flush mounted motorized roller for conveyor

摘要

A motorized roller for a conveyor includes a non-rotatable portion and a roller portion that is rotatably driven relative to the non-rotatable portion via an internal motor. The non-rotatable portion includes hubs or ends that are mounted to the opposed surfaces of opposite sidewalls or mounting portions of a conveyor, such that the motorized roller is positioned entirely between the mounting portions. The motorized roller may be secured to the mounting portions via at least one fastener extending through the mounting portions and at least partially into the respective hub or end of the non-rotatable portion of the motorized roller. The motorized roller may include an electrical connector integral with one of the hubs for electrically connecting the motorized roller to a corresponding connector of the conveyor. The motorized roller thus may be generally flush-mounted between the mounting portions of the conveyor.
