Conveyor roller for support of belt or goods - has end-support bearings held within vibration-absorbing resilient rings

摘要

Rollers are supported by shafts fixed to side members of a conveyor frame. The rollers may define a track for the articles to be conveyed or may serve to guide a belt. Members serving as the outer races of bearings for each roller are held in resilient support rings. Members serving as the inner races constitute journals arranged to support the roller from the side members of the conveyor. The resilient support rings, pref. of rubber or plastics, damp sound vibrations and restrict transmission from the outer casing of the roller to the journals. The resilience of the supports also permits subsequent correction of the alignment of a support roller relative to the side members.
