The roller shell is the cylindrical part of the conveyor roller, usually made of steel tube or pipe. The diameter and wall thickness of the housing are designed to withstand the loads and stresses encountered during material handling operations. The steel conveyor rollers are equipped with bearings on both ends to help with smooth rotation. Bearings are usually mounted in bearing housings made of steel or other materials.
Main Components of Steel Rollers
1. Steel Pipe
Our conveyor rollers can be made of high quality steel pipe. Uniform wall thickness of steel pipe can ensure good dynamic balance of the conveyor rollers. The common steel pipes.
- High precision longitudinal seam-welded steel pipe without welding rods.
- seamless steel pipe (better material for steel conveyor rollers).
- Stainless steel pipe.

2. Roller Shaft
The shaft of conveyor roller are made of cold-drawn round steel bar. High-precision diameter tolerances allow the rollers and bearings to fit perfectly. Use automatic CNC machine tools to cut and process the steel bar to ensure precise positioning of the circlip grooves. This allows the rollers to have very little axial movement.

3. Bearing House
The bearing house of conveyor rollers are made of high quality cold-rolled steel plate.
4. Bearings Options
A variety of brands are available, and you can decide on the brand of bearings used in your projects. Bearing tolerances meet class P5 (DIN 620).
- SKF Bearing,
- FAG Bearing,
- NSK Bearing,
- HRB Bearing,
- LYC Bearing,
5. Labyrinth Seal System
The bearing's sealing system protects against water and dust and reduces noise. This system comprises of these seals listed below.
- inner seal,
- labyrinth seal,
- galvanized metal dust cover,
- protective cover.
