Driven Rollers with Slip Drive

Series 3800 driven rollers were designed to provide a very economical wayof building chain powered conveyor systems with accumulation capability. Products can be stopped and released at any point on the conveyor without stopping the chain drive. The slip drive relies on friction between two coaxial members. The inner sleeve rotates continuously as it is chain driven. The outer shell, the conveyor roller, is in sliding contact with the inner member through a bushing. The torque applied between the inner and outer member is proportional to both load and speed.Rollers are available in 1.900” and 2.500” diameters. Aluminum, stainless steel,and galvanized steel tubes are available in the 1.900" diameter driven rollers, only galvanized steel is offered in the 2.500" diameter rollers. Both are assembled with commercial grade ball bearings.
