- Shaft diameter of 12 mm for P602012 and 15 mm for P602015
- Integrated precision bearings (6002, 6804) for smooth rotation
- Plastic housing for lightweight, quiet, and corrosion-resistant performance
- Free-running design to reduce friction in gravity roller systems
- Housing material specifically designed for steel, stainless steel, and PVC tubes
Materials
- Plastic housing for corrosion resistance and quiet operation
- Precision bearings (6002, 6804) integrated into the end cover
- Suitable for use with steel, stainless steel, and PVC tubes
Quality Control
- Bearing rotation checked for free movement and smooth operation
- Fit verified against 60 mm tube diameter and 12 mm or 15 mm shaft size
- Material consistency confirmed for plastic housing
- Final inspection of model number and bearing type before packing
Customization Options
- Special bore sizes available upon request for large quantity orders
- Alternative shaft diameters possible based on volume requirements
- Custom model numbers can be assigned for bulk procurement
Use Guide
- Ensure the tube diameter is exactly 60 mm and wall thickness is 2.0 mm before installation
- Match the shaft diameter to the correct model: 12 mm for P602012, 15 mm for P602015
- Install the end cover onto the roller shaft with the bearing aligned and seated properly
- Use in applications where quiet operation and low friction are required
- Avoid heavy impact loading or high-speed rotation beyond the design limits
