Roller bearings with Hex Shaft
Roller bearings with hex shaft for conveyor builders needing consistent fit and drive compatibility across plastic and metal roller end caps and bearings, matched to tube diameter and shaft size.
Problems It Solves
- Mismatched roller end caps or bearings when replacing components on existing conveyor lines
- Inconsistent shaft size or hex dimension causing drive misalignment in powered roller systems
- Need for a single supplier for both plastic and metal roller bearings with hex shafts in the same tube diameter range
- Difficulty finding end caps or bearings that fit a specific tube thickness and hex shaft length
- Assembly delays due to mismatched components from multiple suppliers
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators specifying roller end caps and bearings by tube size and shaft type
- Material handling equipment builders sourcing components for gravity and powered roller conveyors
- Industrial distributors stocking roller bearings with hex shafts by tube diameter and shaft size
- Production line builders requiring consistent fit between roller shafts and drive mechanisms
- Warehouse automation contractors replacing worn or damaged roller components in existing systems
Why This Range
- Four product types: plastic and metal end cap housings and bearings with hex shafts
- Model numbers clearly indicate tube diameter, wall thickness, and hex shaft size
- Available in multiple tube diameters: 50mm, 50.6mm, 50.8mm, 60mm, and 63.5mm
- Hex shaft length standardized at 11mm for most models, 17mm for one model
- Consistent shaft and tube fit across plastic and metal variants for same model series
Application Scenarios
- Replacing a damaged plastic roller end cap on a 60mm diameter tube with 1.5mm wall thickness
- Installing a metal roller bearing with hex shaft on a 50mm tube with 2.0mm wall thickness
- Matching a new metal roller bearing to an existing 63.5mm tube with 2.5mm wall thickness and 17mm hex shaft
- Using a plastic roller bearing with hex shaft on a 50.6mm tube where surface marking must be avoided
- Building a powered roller section where the hex shaft must align with a drive gear or motor

Roller bearings with Hex Shaft Questions
What tube diameters do these roller bearings fit?
Available for 50mm, 50.6mm, 50.8mm, 60mm, and 63.5mm tube diameters with specified wall thicknesses.
What is the hex shaft size for these bearings?
Most models have an 11mm hex shaft; one model has a 17mm hex shaft.
Can I use plastic and metal versions interchangeably?
They are designed for the same tube diameter and shaft size, but material choice depends on load and environment.
How do I select the right model number?
Match the model number to your tube diameter, wall thickness, and hex shaft length.
Are the plastic and metal versions compatible with the same tube sizes?
Yes, both are available for 50mm, 50.6mm, 50.8mm, 60mm, and 63.5mm tube diameters.
What is the wall thickness range for each model?
Wall thicknesses include 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm depending on the model.
Do the model numbers include the hex shaft length?
Yes, model numbers include the hex shaft length, such as 11mm or 17mm.
