Plastic Taper Sleeve Roller

The 05WR is a plastic taper sleeve roller with a precision bearing housed in a nylon and PP casing. It fits over a steel tube with a diameter of ø12 mm and has a tapered sleeve that matches a 3.6 degree taper. The small end diameter is D1 = ø56 mm, and the big end diameter is D2 = E = W + 9 mm. The roller length is L = W + 11 mm, and the total length is 8X12 mm. It is designed for use on steel tubes in conveyor systems where a consistent fit and low-friction rotation are required.

Product Overview

The 05WR is a plastic taper sleeve roller with a precision bearing housed in a nylon and PP casing. It fits over a steel tube with a diameter of ø12 mm and has a tapered sleeve that matches a 3.6 degree taper. The small end diameter is D1 = ø56 mm, and the big end diameter is D2 = E = W + 9 mm. The roller length is L = W + 11 mm, and the total length is 8X12 mm. It is designed for use on steel tubes in conveyor systems where a consistent fit and low-friction rotation are required.

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

Key Benefits

  • Precision bearing ensures smooth rotation under load
  • Nylon and PP casing reduces weight and resists wear
  • Tapered sleeve fits over ø12 mm steel tube with 3.6 degree taper
  • Small end diameter D1 = ø56 mm, big end diameter D2 = E = W + 9 mm
  • Roller length L = W + 11 mm, total length 8X12 mm
  • Steel tube provides structural support for the roller assembly

Application Scenarios

  • Conveyor lines where rollers must fit precisely over a standard ø12 mm steel tube
  • Assembly lines requiring low-friction rotation with consistent alignment
  • Material handling systems using tapered sleeves to maintain roller position
  • Belt conveyors where roller end alignment affects belt tracking
  • Light to medium load applications where plastic casing reduces noise and wear

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building roller conveyors with standard tube sizes
  • Industrial equipment builders needing consistent roller fit on steel tubes
  • Warehouse automation contractors installing rollers on existing tube frames
  • Production line builders requiring precise roller alignment without adjustment
  • Industrial distributors stocking rollers with defined taper and tube fit

Problems It Solves

  • Rollers that wobble or misalign due to poor fit on standard steel tubes
  • Inconsistent roller height caused by mismatched sleeve diameters
  • Frequent bearing failure from poor housing support or material mismatch
  • Difficulty in mounting rollers on tapered tube ends without custom machining
  • Lack of standardization in roller fit across different suppliers

Technical Features

  • Precision bearing housed in nylon and PP casing for low friction and wear resistance
  • Tapered sleeve with 3.6 degree taper fits over ø12 mm steel tube
  • Small end diameter D1 = ø56 mm, big end diameter D2 = E = W + 9 mm
  • Roller length L = W + 11 mm, total length 8X12 mm
  • Steel tube provides rigidity and load support for the roller assembly
  • Casing material (nylon and PP) reduces weight and noise during operation

Materials

  • Nylon and PP casing for lightweight, wear-resistant housing
  • Steel tube for structural support and load-bearing capacity
  • Precision bearing for smooth, low-friction rotation

Quality Control

  • Taper angle verified against 3.6 degree specification
  • Fit on ø12 mm steel tube checked for proper engagement
  • Bearing rotation tested for free movement
  • Casing dimensions confirmed against D1, D2, L and total length
  • Final inspection of assembled roller for alignment and fit

Customization Options

  • Tapered sleeve available in 3.6 degree angle for ø12 mm tube
  • Casing material (nylon and PP) standard, no alternative options listed
  • Steel tube standard, no alternative tube material listed
  • Roller length L = W + 11 mm, total length 8X12 mm, no variation listed

Use Guide

  • Ensure the steel tube diameter is exactly ø12 mm before mounting
  • Verify the taper angle is 3.6 degrees to match the sleeve
  • Check that D1 = ø56 mm and D2 = E = W + 9 mm for correct end diameters
  • Confirm L = W + 11 mm and total length 8X12 mm for proper fit in the frame
  • Install the roller by sliding it onto the tube with the taper aligned
