Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber Coated Gravity Roller

The 01GR is a nitrile-butadiene rubber coated gravity roller with a precision bearing housed in a carbon steel bearing house. It is designed for use in gravity roller conveyors where consistent rollability, load support and surface grip are required. The roller is available in standard lengths and diameters to match common conveyor tube sizes and shaft dimensions. It rotates freely under load and is suitable for moving cartons, boxes and small pallets on flat or slightly inclined decks.

Product Overview

The 01GR is a nitrile-butadiene rubber coated gravity roller with a precision bearing housed in a carbon steel bearing house. It is designed for use in gravity roller conveyors where consistent rollability, load support and surface grip are required. The roller is available in standard lengths and diameters to match common conveyor tube sizes and shaft dimensions. It rotates freely under load and is suitable for moving cartons, boxes and small pallets on flat or slightly inclined decks.

Part of the Roller range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.

Key Benefits

  • Nitrile-butadiene rubber coating provides high friction and grip on cartons and boxes
  • Precision bearing ensures smooth rotation under load and low rolling resistance
  • Carbon steel bearing house offers durability and resistance to deformation under load
  • Coated surface resists wear from repeated contact with packaging materials
  • Matches standard tube diameters and shaft sizes used in gravity roller conveyors

Application Scenarios

  • Gravity roller sections in warehouse picking lines where cartons are pushed by hand
  • Conveyor transfer points between two lines where product must roll smoothly without power
  • Assembly line feeders where parts are moved manually along a flat deck
  • Pallet handling zones where light to medium weight loads need consistent rollability
  • End-of-line sorting stations where items are guided by gravity and need controlled movement

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building gravity roller sections for material handling lines
  • Industrial equipment builders integrating rollers into conveyors and transfer tables
  • Warehouse automation contractors installing gravity sections in distribution centers
  • Production line builders needing reliable rollers for manual part transfer
  • Industrial distributors stocking rollers by diameter and load capacity

Problems It Solves

  • Slipping or sliding of cartons on smooth or low-friction roller surfaces
  • Uneven rolling caused by worn or misaligned bearings in standard rollers
  • Deformation of the roller housing under repeated load or impact
  • Inconsistent performance when using rollers from multiple suppliers with different tolerances
  • Lack of grip on lightweight or smooth-surfaced packaging materials

Technical Features

  • Nitrile-butadiene rubber coating for high surface friction and wear resistance
  • Precision bearing for smooth, low-resistance rotation under load
  • Carbon steel bearing house for structural integrity and load support
  • Standard roller diameter and shaft size to match common conveyor tube and shaft dimensions
  • Coated surface maintains consistent grip over time under repeated use

Materials

  • Nitrile-butadiene rubber coating for high grip and resistance to abrasion
  • Carbon steel bearing house for strength and resistance to deformation
  • Precision bearing for consistent rotation and long service life

Quality Control

  • Bearing rotation checked by hand for free movement and smooth operation
  • Coating thickness verified to ensure even coverage and no bare spots
  • Dimensions checked against standard roller and shaft sizes
  • Load test performed to confirm free rotation under simulated working conditions

Customization Options

  • Available in standard lengths and diameters to match common conveyor tube sizes
  • Shaft size can be selected to match existing conveyor shaft dimensions
  • Coating thickness or hardness may be adjusted based on application requirements

Use Guide

  • Ensure the roller diameter and shaft size match the conveyor tube and shaft dimensions
  • Check that the roller length fits within the conveyor frame and spacing requirements
  • Use the nitrile-butadiene coating for applications where grip on packaging is critical
  • Avoid overloading beyond the roller's intended load capacity to maintain bearing life
  • Inspect the coating regularly for wear and replace if surface damage affects grip
