Standard Engineering Chain Roller Types

Tsubaki Conveyor Chains utilize several basic roller types.

1. R Rollers

2. F Rollers

The R Roller is Tsubaki’s most basic and versatile option. It is defined by the outer diameter of the roller being larger than the height of the sideplates. This allows for larger allowable loads and reduces frictional resistance.

The F Roller is defined by a large flange on the edge of the roller that functions as a guide. These rollers are ideal for situations in which side oscillation must be controlled. F Rollers are often utilized in more demanding/rougher applications and/or in slat conveyors.

4. Bearing Rollers

3. S and M Rollers

Tsubaki’s patented bearing roller design incorporates unique cylindrical bearings within the roller itself. This design is extremely useful in applications that are subject to the stick-slip phenomenon. R, F and S Roller designs available. Contact Tsubaki Engineering for more details.

S and M Rollers are smaller (S) or equal (M) in diameter than the height of the sideplates.

S Rollers: Roller diameter is smaller than the height of sideplates. M Rollers: Roller diameter is equal to the height of the sideplates.
