Key Benefits
- Matches tube diameters of 60 mm and 63.5 mm with precise wall thickness and hex shaft size
- Hex shaft ensures positive drive transfer in gravity roller systems
- Metal housing provides durability in industrial environments
- Standardized models available for common tube and shaft combinations
- Designed for integration into gravity rollers, sprocket rollers, and O-belt rollers
Application Scenarios
- Gravity roller conveyors in light to medium weight manufacturing lines
- Assembly line transfer points requiring consistent shaft alignment
- Mould manufacturing systems where roller end caps must withstand repeated loading
- Warehouse loading and unloading stations with frequent roller maintenance
- Electrical parts manufacturing where precise roller positioning is needed
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building gravity roller lines
- Material handling equipment builders sourcing standardized end caps
- Industrial distributors stocking roller components by tube and shaft size
- Production line builders requiring consistent roller end cap fit
- Manufacturers of sprocket rollers, O-belt rollers, and poly-V rollers
Problems It Solves
- Mismatched end caps that cause shaft misalignment in gravity roller systems
- Inconsistent roller performance due to poor fit between tube and shaft
- Need for custom machining when standard end caps are unavailable
- Frequent roller failure from shaft slippage or wobbling
- Difficulty in sourcing end caps that match specific tube and shaft dimensions
Technical Features
- Hex shaft design ensures positive drive and prevents shaft rotation
- Housing machined to fit 60 mm tube with wall thicknesses of 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm
- Housing machined to fit 63.5 mm tube with 2.5 mm wall thickness
- Hex shaft dimensions of 11 mm and 17 mm correspond to specific model numbers
- Metal construction provides structural rigidity and load support
Materials
- Metal housing for structural strength and wear resistance
- Hex shaft made from hardened material to resist deformation under load
- No plastic components; all housing is metal for durability
Quality Control
- Verification of tube diameter and wall thickness match the model specification
- Check of hex shaft size against the model's stated dimension
- Inspection of shaft alignment within the housing
- Visual check for machining defects or burrs
- Final confirmation of model number and configuration before packing
Customization Options
- Special bore sizes available upon request for large quantity orders
- Custom hex shaft dimensions possible based on volume requirements
- Alternative tube diameter fits available for bulk production
- Material changes not specified; all housings are metal as per source
Use Guide
- Select the model based on the tube diameter, wall thickness, and hex shaft size
- Ensure the tube wall thickness matches the model specification to avoid fit issues
- Use the hex shaft to align and secure the roller in the conveyor frame
- Verify shaft alignment before installing the roller into the line
- Do not exceed the load capacity of the roller system, as the end cap is only one component

Compared With Other Options
| Plastic roller end caps | Metal housing offers higher strength and load capacity, suitable for heavier applications where plastic would deform |
|---|---|
| Round shaft end caps | Hex shaft prevents rotation and ensures positive drive, while round shafts rely on friction and can slip under load |
| Standard press-fit end caps | This model is designed for specific tube and shaft dimensions, reducing fit variability compared to generic press-fit units |
