2. Inner shaft Generally made of round steel. Small diameter can be made of cold drawn steel, large diameter and high precision can be made by turning.
3、End caps are generally made of carbon steel. Small diameters and small loads can be processed by punching, while larger diameters or large loads can be processed by turning.
4、Bearing Select the appropriate standard bearing according to the barrel and end cap.
Gravity conveyor roller classification
According to the different drum materials.
1. Carbon steel drums: drum barrels machined from carbon steel tubes.
2、Plastic drums: the drum barrel is processed with plastic tubes.
According to the way the surface treatment of the drum
1. Electroplated drums i.e. the surface of the drum is electroplated, commonly galvanized, also chrome plated, nickel plated, etc.
