Straight roller conveyor line customization guide size + load bearing + material parameter details

Hey, buddy! Is your factory still manually humming and hawing to move boxes? 🤔 Is your back breaking after moving a truckload of goods, and the efficiency is still maddeningly low? Don't panic! Today we will talk throughfig. do rightroller conveyorcustomizableThe doorway - the size of how to measure, load-bearing how to calculate, how to choose the material, read it to ensure that you change from a small white insider!


🔧 I. Calculation of core parameters: size + load bearing is the lifeblood!

Customized roller lines are not clothes shopping.Size difference of one centimeterAll of them can be carded cargo turnovers! Remember these 3 golden formulas:

  1. Roller length= Cargo width + 50mm 👉 (e.g. if the box is 400mm wide, choose 450mm for the roller)
  2. Roller pitch≤ 1/3 of the length of the goods 👉 (1 meter long goods, do not exceed the spacing of 330mm, otherwise you will fall out of the pit!)
  3. Single drum load= Total cargo weight ÷ Number of contact rollers 👉 (For a 500kg load, assuming 5 rollers are stressed, each one has to carry 100kg!)

📌lesson learned through blood and tears: The owner of a factory did not calculate the load bearing, the result of the roller bending deformation, stop production for three days lost 200,000 yuan!

Influence of materials on load bearing (must see comparison table)

Roller material Load-bearing range Cost per meter Applicable Scenarios
Carbon Steel Galvanized 50-300kg ¥200-300 Warehouse plain cartons
Stainless steel 304 100-500kg ¥600-800 Food factories, chemical plants 🌫️
Thickened steel pipe 300-2000kg ¥400-600 Automobile parts, metal goods
aluminum ≤100kg ¥500-700 Light goods for electronics workshop

You taste it. You savor it.: Want to save money with carbon steel? If the workshop is humid, half a year of rust through waiting for you! Stainless steel is expensive but for a good reason - it's built to last!


🛠️ Second, the choice of material: do not be led by the businessman!

The most confusing thing for newbies is the material! Take my advice.Look at the environment to choose the material, more important than the price::

  • general warehouse👉 Carbon steel galvanized enough (surface spraying to prevent rust, low cost)
  • Seafood/Freezer❄️ 👉 Must be stainless steel! Ordinary steel is brittle at low temperatures and shatters on impact
  • chemical plant☣️ 👉 Stainless steel + rubber-coated rollers, corrosion-resistant and also anti-static
  • Lithium battery workshop🔋 👉 No galvanized rollers! Zinc ions contaminate batteries, gotta use pure stainless steel

💡Exclusive data: Food factory with the wrong carbon steel roller, rust contaminated goods were fined 500,000 - material money can not save ah!


⚡ Third, drivetrain configuration: wrong choice of power = for nothing!

What about the motor? What's the transmission?Remember these two mnemonics:

  1. O tape for light cargo short👉 Quiet and cheap (but don't go over 30kg/unit or you'll slip!)
  2. Double sprockets for heavy loads and long lines👉 Carry the build! (2000kg molds depend on it)
  3. Motorized pulleys for precision sorting👉 Variable frequency control ±1mm error, expensive but accurate!

Power Program Cost Comparison (10-meter line reference)

Driving method (manufacturing, production etc) costs maintenance difficulty Applicable Scenarios
Non-powered rollers ¥10,000 Manual push for light cargo
O-Belt Drive ¥25,000 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ E-commerce parcel sorting 📦
chain drive ¥38,000 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tire/Metal Parts Conveying
drum motor ¥60,000+ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Automated three-dimensional warehouse

Let's be honest.: Don't pick the wrong power to save 20K - it's more expensive to remodel later!


🧩 Fourth, a guide to avoiding the pit: 3 secrets manufacturers will never tell you

  1. Installation methods hide mines💥: spring-loaded press-in rollers are cheap, but they can come off the shaft with a lot of vibration! Heavy loads must use through-axis pinhole type
  2. Glued-in sets are deep.👉 Natural rubber is cheap but not oil resistant, auto parts factories have to use polyurethane rubber (twice as expensive but lasts 3 years longer!)
  3. environmental trap🌧️ 👉 If you use ordinary bearings in a wet workshop in the south, they will squeak in three months! Choose IP54 waterproof bearings!

📢case (law): An e-commerce warehouse did not do moisture-proof treatment to save money, and as a result, the bearings rusted to death during the rainy season, and the sorting was paralyzed for 48 hours!


💎 Exclusive insights: the underlying logic of customized success

Roller lines are not standardized! Based on the 200+ projects I've handled, the aftermarket problems with the 80% have beenPre-parameter mismatch.. A common mistake newbies make:

  • Only look at the total price, ignoring the difference in material costs (stainless steel is 3 times more expensive than carbon steel but lasts 8 years longer)
  • Load capacity is dead, no safety margin (standard 300kg drum, long-term use is recommended ≤ 250kg)
  • Ignore the workshop temperature 🌡️ (-15℃ environment with ordinary grease? It freezes directly into a lump of iron!)

Finally dump a hardcore statistic.Roller lines designed according to national standards, the failure rate is lower than the wild card solution 67% - don't be soft when it's time to pick the details!

(Knocking on door) Customizing a roller line is like taking a suit--A hair's breadth difference in size can lead to a thousand-mile difference in effect.. Save this article and dislike the manufacturers one by one when customizing and ask them to make sure you don't fall for it! 🚀
