Key Benefits

  • Designed for 50 mm and 60 mm tube diameters with multiple wall thickness options
  • Precision bearing ensures smooth, free-running operation with low friction
  • Quiet operation suitable for environments where noise must be minimized
  • Available with shaft sizes of 10 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm to match existing roller shafts
  • Plastic and nylon housing resists corrosion and is suitable for washdown environments

Application Scenarios

  • Gravity roller systems in light to medium weight conveying lines in electrical parts manufacturing
  • Assembly lines where quiet operation is required to avoid noise interference
  • Warehouse loading and unloading stations using gravity rollers with plastic end covers
  • Mould manufacturing lines where corrosion resistance is needed for frequent cleaning
  • Conveyor sections handling medium weight parts where smooth, consistent rotation is critical

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building gravity roller lines with specific tube and shaft dimensions
  • Material handling equipment builders sourcing consistent end covers for roller assemblies
  • Industrial distributors stocking plastic end covers by tube diameter and shaft size
  • Manufacturers of gravity rollers needing standardized end covers for production runs

Problems It Solves

  • Mismatched end covers that do not fit standard tube diameters or shaft sizes
  • Noisy or binding roller operation due to poor bearing fit or low-quality housing
  • Corrosion in washdown environments when metal or non-resistant materials are used
  • Inconsistent performance across a roller line due to variation in end cover quality
  • Need to source end covers from multiple suppliers for different tube and shaft combinations

Technical Features

  • Precision bearing integrated into the plastic housing for smooth rotation
  • Housing made from plastic and nylon materials for lightweight and corrosion resistance
  • Designed to fit 50 mm and 60 mm tube diameters with multiple wall thicknesses
  • Available with shaft sizes of 10 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm to match common roller shafts
  • Free-running design reduces effort required to move loads on gravity conveyors

Materials

  • Plastic housing for lightweight and corrosion-resistant performance
  • Nylon housing for improved wear resistance and durability
  • Precision bearing integrated into the housing for consistent rotation
  • Suitable for use with steel, stainless steel, and PVC tubes

Quality Control

  • Bearing fit checked for smooth rotation without binding
  • Housing dimensions verified against tube and shaft specifications
  • Material grade confirmed to match the plastic and nylon options ordered

Customization Options

  • Special bore sizes available upon request for large quantity orders
  • Custom wall thickness or shaft size options possible with sufficient volume
  • Different model numbers available for different tube diameters and shaft combinations

Use Guide

  • Verify tube diameter and wall thickness match the selected KTR model
  • Confirm shaft size matches the required 10 mm, 12 mm, or 14 mm specification
  • Ensure the bearing is free to rotate without resistance after installation
  • Use in environments where corrosion resistance and quiet operation are required
  • Select the correct model based on the roller tube size and shaft diameter
