Drive Roller Plastic Bearings
End caps that do more than carry the roller — they transmit drive. Sprocket, poly-V and O-belt profiles are moulded into or fitted onto the housing so one powered roller can drive the next without a separate drive shaft.

The problem this group solves
Slaving idle rollers to a powered one is the cheapest way to build a driven zone, and the whole arrangement depends on the drive profile on the end cap being concentric and the right pitch.
How to choose
Match the drive profile and pitch to the belt or chain you will use — sprocket tooth count and pitch, poly-V rib count, or O-belt groove diameter — and keep the same profile across the whole group.
Typical applications
- Zones slaved to a single motor roller
- Poly-V and O-belt drive groups
- Sprocket chain groups on heavier lines
- Retrofitting drive into an existing gravity run
Where Drive Roller Plastic Bearings is specified
E-Commerce and Parcel Handling
Zero-pressure accumulation zones built on 24 V and 48 V brushless motor rollers with poly-V slaved idlers.
IndustryMachine Builders and OEM Equipment
Motor rollers, end caps and ball transfer units supplied to specification for equipment manufacturers.
SolutionZero-Pressure Accumulation Zones
Zoned accumulation built on brushless motor rollers with slaved idlers, so cartons queue without touching.
Comparison GuideChain Poly-V or O-Belt Drive Between Rollers
Once one roller in a zone is powered, the rest are slaved to it. Three drive profiles do that job, and they fail in different environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many rollers can one motor roller drive?
It depends on the tractive force of the motor roller at your speed and the load per roller; a driven group is normally kept short enough that the last roller still turns under full load.
Can drive end caps be retrofitted to existing rollers?
If the tube inside diameter and shaft form match, yes — that is the usual way a gravity zone becomes a driven one.
