What you need to know when replacing conveyor rollers
Easily replaceable conveyor rollers extend the life of the entire system.
Roller conveyors are used in distribution warehouses, assembly lines, and shipping parts worldwide. With routine maintenance and care for frames, conveyor rollers and other components, a roller conveyor can last for many years. The rollers in these conveyors can become dirty or damaged, and eventually they need to be replaced. Thankfully, conveyor rollers are easily replaceable, and doing so will prolong the life of your conveyor system. Another common situation is simply having more rollers added to an existing system to help parts move more smoothly along the conveyor when replacing conveyor rollers.
Conveyor rollers are parts of conveyor belts used to move products or goods. Conveyor rollers are part of the conveyor installation and are essential to enable transportation. Conveyor rollers support and guide the conveyor at different points.

Before measuring the rollers, check the dimensions of the frame to which the rollers fit. Know exactly what information you need before ordering replacement rollers.
- Spacing between frames: Measure the frames the rollers will fit from side to side. Replacement conveyor rollers are often referred to by the size they are made for.
- Diameter of the roller: use the correct ruler to make sure you have the right diameter. Roller diameter is determined by measuring the width or outside diameter of the roller
- Retention system: To match the frames, the roller is usually spring installed on one side. But sometimes the rollers have springs on both sides.
- Roller Material: When replacing conveyor rollers, an important determining factor is the material the conveyor rollers are made of. The most common type is galvanized steel because it is cost effective, and rust resistant. Other materials include: stainless steel for wet applications and for food preparation, and PVC or PU coated rollers for other applications.
- Bearings: Incorrect bearings are the cause of conveyor roller replacement. Precision bearings are used when noise is a concern or when the rollers will be required to travel at high speeds.
And you need the correct roller design and machining considerations to ensure the best quality rollers. If you need more attention about conveyor rollers, you can contact us for specific advice, Hotline: 0983 11 33 87
