Gravity Roller With Hexagon Shaft
The 01GR is a gravity roller with a steel hexagon shaft, designed for use in roller conveyors where a fixed shaft size and precision bearing support are required. It features a carbon steel bearing house and precision bearings to maintain consistent rotation under load. The unit is suitable for applications where a non-rotating shaft is needed for alignment or drive integration. It is available in standard configurations with a hexagon shaft for tool engagement and mounting.

Key Benefits
- Precision bearings ensure smooth rotation and consistent performance under load
- Steel hexagon shaft allows for tool engagement during installation or alignment
- Carbon steel bearing house provides rigidity and support for the bearing assembly
- Fixed shaft design maintains alignment in conveyor lines with fixed mounting points
- Standard shaft size and bearing type simplify integration into existing conveyor designs
Application Scenarios
- Gravity roller conveyors where a fixed shaft is needed for alignment with other components
- Assembly lines requiring consistent roller spacing and shaft positioning
- Conveyor sections where a hexagon shaft is used to drive or lock the roller in place
- Material handling systems with fixed mounting brackets that require a non-rotating shaft
- Integration into roller tracks where shaft orientation must remain fixed
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building gravity roller lines with fixed shaft requirements
- Material handling equipment builders needing consistent shaft geometry
- Industrial distributors stocking gravity rollers by shaft type and bearing style
- Production line builders integrating rollers into fixed-position transfer points
Problems It Solves
- Rollers that rotate freely when a fixed shaft is required for alignment or drive
- Inconsistent shaft sizes that prevent proper mounting in existing conveyor frames
- Poor bearing performance due to low-precision or non-precision bearings
- Shaft misalignment caused by loose or poorly supported bearing housings
- Difficulty in installing or adjusting rollers due to lack of tool engagement points
Technical Features
- Precision bearing type ensures consistent rotation and long service life
- Carbon steel bearing house provides structural support and durability
- Steel hexagon shaft allows for tool engagement during installation or adjustment
- Fixed shaft design prevents rotation, maintaining alignment in the conveyor line
- Standardized shaft size and bearing type enable compatibility across systems
Materials
- Carbon steel bearing house for structural rigidity and support
- Steel hexagon shaft for tool engagement and fixed mounting
- Precision bearing assembly for smooth and consistent rotation
Quality Control
- Bearing rotation checked by hand for free movement and smooth operation
- Shaft alignment verified to ensure it is straight and properly seated
- Material grade confirmed against the carbon steel and steel shaft specification
- No load testing performed, as this is a gravity roller
Customization Options
- Shaft size and hexagon dimensions available in standard configurations
- Bearing type may vary based on load and speed requirements
- Material options for the bearing house and shaft may be available upon request
Use Guide
- Ensure the hexagon shaft fits the mounting tool or drive mechanism
- Align the shaft with the mounting bracket to maintain proper roller position
- Check that the bearing rotates freely before installation
- Use the correct torque when securing the mounting bracket to avoid shaft deformation
- Verify that the shaft does not rotate during operation, as it is designed to be fixed
