Key Benefits
- Fits tube diameters of 50 mm, 50.6 mm, and 50.8 mm with consistent shaft sizes
- Available with 12 mm or 15 mm shafts for different load and speed requirements
- Precision bearing type 6002 or 6804 ensures smooth, low-friction rotation
- Plastic housing reduces noise and protects tube surfaces from wear
- Designed for use with steel, stainless steel, and PVC tubes in washdown or industrial environments
Application Scenarios
- Gravity roller conveyors in light to medium weight manufacturing lines
- Assembly lines where parts are moved by hand without powered drive
- Warehouse loading and unloading stations using gravity-fed roller systems
- Mould and tool handling systems requiring quiet, smooth roller operation

- Manufacturers of roller conveyors for light to medium weight applications
- Automation contractors installing non-powered transfer points
Problems It Solves
- Mismatched end caps that cause roller binding or uneven rotation
- Noise and vibration from metal housings in sensitive or high-frequency lines
- Inconsistent fit between roller shaft and tube due to poor tolerance control
- Lack of washdown-ready components in food or chemical handling environments
- Need for a single supplier for end caps that match tube diameter, shaft size and bearing type

Use Guide
- Verify tube diameter (50 mm, 50.6 mm, or 50.8 mm) before selecting the model
- Confirm shaft size (12 mm or 15 mm) matches the roller shaft
- Ensure tube wall thickness (1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, or 2.0 mm) matches the housing specification
- Use the 6002 or 6804 bearing type for smooth, low-friction operation
- Choose plastic housing for quiet operation and protection of sensitive tube surfaces

Manufacturing Process
Step 1
Moulding of plastic end cap housing to specified dimensions
Step 2
Insertion of precision bearing (6002 or 6804) into the housing
Step 3
Assembly of shaft and bearing into the housing
Step 4
Inspection for smooth rotation and correct fit
Step 5
Packing for shipment
Compared With Other Options
| Metal end caps | Plastic housing reduces noise and protects tube surfaces, while metal offers higher load capacity but increases friction and wear |
|---|---|
| Standard plastic caps without precision bearings | This housing includes integrated 6002 or 6804 bearings for consistent free rotation, unlike basic caps that may bind |
| Non-matching end caps from multiple suppliers | One consistent range ensures compatibility across tube diameter, shaft size, and bearing type, reducing integration issues |
