Plastic Roller Bearings KTR

Plastic Roller Bearings KTR From Tianhe

The KTR-30X1.5-8 and KTR-30X1.8-8 are plastic roller bearings designed for steel, stainless steel, or PVC tubes with a diameter of 30 mm and wall thicknesses of 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm, featuring an 8 mm shaft diameter. These bearings are integrated into gravity rollers, sprocket rollers, O-belt rollers, and poly-V rollers for use in light to heavy material handling applications. They are built with precision bearings to ensure free rotation and quiet operation, and are made from plastic and nylon materials suitable for washdown environments.

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

Key Benefits

  • Designed for 30 mm diameter tubes with 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm wall thickness
  • 8 mm shaft diameter matches standard roller shafts
  • Free running with low friction and quiet operation
  • Suitable for washdown and clean environments due to plastic and nylon construction
  • Integrated precision bearings reduce wear and extend roller life

Application Scenarios

  • Gravity roller conveyors in light to medium weight manufacturing lines
  • Assembly lines where smooth, quiet transfer of components is required
  • Mould manufacturing and engine production where vibration and noise must be minimized
  • Warehouse loading and unloading stations using plastic or metal rollers
  • Electrical parts handling where non-marking and non-conductive materials are needed

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building gravity roller lines
  • Material handling equipment builders using plastic roller bearings in rollers
  • Industrial distributors stocking roller components by tube size and shaft diameter
  • Manufacturers of sprocket rollers, O-belt rollers, and poly-V rollers
  • Production line builders requiring quiet, low-friction roller solutions

Problems It Solves

  • Mismatched roller bearings that do not fit standard 30 mm tubes with 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm thickness
  • Rollers that bind or make noise due to poor bearing integration
  • Lack of washdown-ready components in food, pharmaceutical, or clean room environments
  • Inconsistent performance when using mixed bearing types across a roller line
  • Difficulty sourcing plastic roller bearings with precise shaft and tube compatibility

Technical Features

  • Specifically designed for 30 mm tube diameter with 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm wall thickness
  • 8 mm shaft diameter for compatibility with standard roller shafts
  • Precision bearings integrated into the housing for smooth rotation
  • Plastic and nylon housing materials for corrosion resistance and low weight
  • Free running design reduces effort and wear during operation

Materials

  • Plastic housing for corrosion resistance and low weight
  • Nylon construction for durability and quiet operation
  • Precision bearings integrated into the plastic housing
  • Suitable for use with steel, stainless steel, and PVC tubes
  • Resistant to moisture and cleaning agents in washdown environments

Quality Control

  • Dimensional check against 30 mm tube diameter and 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm thickness
  • Shaft diameter verified at 8 mm for correct fit
  • Rotation tested by hand to confirm free running
  • Material grade confirmed against plastic and nylon specification
  • Final inspection before packing

Customization Options

  • Special bore sizes available upon request for large quantity orders
  • Alternative tube diameters and thicknesses may be considered with volume
  • Shaft diameter adjustments possible for high volume production
  • Material options limited to plastic and nylon as per standard
  • Custom packaging available for bulk orders

Use Guide

  • Verify that the tube diameter is 30 mm and wall thickness is 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm before installation
  • Ensure the shaft diameter is 8 mm to match the bearing bore
  • Use in applications where low noise and resistance to moisture are required
  • Avoid high impact or extreme load conditions beyond the intended use
  • Clean with water or mild cleaning agents; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade plastic
