Product Overview
The THJR series is a plastic PVC gravity roller with a plastic end cap, designed for low-load applications in plastic gravity roller conveyors. It has a tube diameter from 16 mm to 60 mm, a shaft size of 5 mm to 12 mm, and a length range from 50 mm to 1200 mm. The unit is made entirely from PVC and is used where light loads are moved by hand or gravity.
Part of the Roller range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Low weight and low rolling resistance for light load movement
- Plastic end cap reduces noise and protects the shaft from wear
- PVC construction resists moisture and light chemical exposure
- Available in multiple diameters and lengths to match existing conveyor tube sizes
- Simple integration into plastic gravity roller conveyor systems
Application Scenarios
- Lightweight product transfer on a plastic gravity roller conveyor in a packaging line
- Assembly line stations where small parts or components are moved by hand
- Internal material handling in a cleanroom or dry environment with low load requirements
- Short conveyor sections where powered drives are not needed
- Integration into modular plastic conveyor systems where consistent tube diameter and shaft size are required
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building low-load plastic gravity conveyors
- Material handling equipment builders using plastic rollers in light-duty lines
- Industrial distributors stocking plastic rollers by diameter and shaft size
- Assembly line builders needing consistent roller dimensions for modular design
- Warehouse automation contractors setting up light-duty transfer points
Problems It Solves
- Inconsistent roller dimensions when sourcing from multiple suppliers
- Heavy rollers causing resistance in low-load gravity applications
- Metal rollers introducing noise or risk of marking delicate parts
- Lack of matching shaft size and tube diameter when integrating new rollers
- Need for a single-source solution for plastic gravity roller components
Technical Features
- Made from PVC for low weight and non-marking contact
- Plastic end cap protects the shaft and reduces noise
- Tube thickness from 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm to match common plastic tube profiles
- Shaft sizes of 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm depending on model
- Length range from 50 mm to 1200 mm for flexible conveyor design
Materials
- PVC tube and end cap for low weight and resistance to moisture
- Plastic end cap to protect the shaft and reduce noise
- No metal components to avoid marking or corrosion
Quality Control
- Tube diameter and thickness checked against the specified tolerance
- Shaft size verified to match the model specification
- End cap fitted securely and aligned with the tube
- No visible defects or warping in the PVC material
- Length measured to ensure it falls within the stated range
Customization Options
- Select model based on required diameter, shaft size, and length
- Choose from available models with matching tube diameter and shaft size
- Length can be selected within the model's range to fit the application
Use Guide
- Ensure the tube diameter and shaft size match the existing conveyor frame
- Verify that the load per roller is within the low-load limit of the PVC material
- Use only for gravity or hand-powered movement, not for powered conveyors
- Avoid exposure to high temperatures or strong solvents that may degrade PVC
- Select the length based on the required conveyor section and spacing

Assembly of end cap onto shaft and tube
Step 5
Final inspection and packing
Compared With Other Options
| Metal gravity rollers | PVC rollers are lighter and quieter, but have lower load capacity and are not suitable for heavy or high-speed applications |
|---|---|
| Plastic rollers with metal shafts | This model uses a plastic shaft and end cap, reducing weight and marking risk, but may not suit high-load or high-wear environments |
| Standard plastic conveyor rollers | This model is designed for integration into plastic gravity roller conveyors with consistent tube and shaft dimensions |
Plastic PVC Gravity Roller With Plastic End Cap Questions
What is the load capacity of this plastic PVC gravity roller?
The load capacity is very limited and intended for light-duty, hand-powered or gravity movement only.
What shaft sizes are available?
Shaft sizes include Φ5 mm, Φ6 mm, Φ8 mm, Φ10 mm, and Φ12 mm, depending on the model.
