Self Aligning Friction Roller

Friction roller is a mechanical structure composed of a drum, shaft, and bracket, which plays a role in supporting materials, transmitting power, and maintaining stability during the movement of a conveyor belt. The principle is to generate the required frictional force on the conveyor belt through the friction of the drum, thereby achieving functions such as material transfer and supporting the conveyor belt.

The function of friction rollers is not only to support materials, but also to transmit power, enabling the conveyor belt to operate normally. In addition, friction rollers can also maintain a smooth belt surface and reduce instability caused by insufficient or excessive friction. Therefore, the role of friction rollers varies in different application fields. Friction rollers have a strong ability to prevent damage and deviation of conveyor belts, utilizing the mechanism of friction resistance and friction wheel curvature to prevent and correct belt deviation, and achieve centering effect. Friction rollers are widely used in the matching of belt conveyors in mining, power, metallurgy, chemical, grain, construction, ports, docks and other industries.

Characteristics Of Friction Roller

1.Strong wear resistance: The surface of the friction roller is covered with a layer of rubber, which has good wear resistance and can be used for a long time in various environments.

2.Strong adhesion: The rubber on the surface of the friction roller has good adhesion with the roller itself, which can ensure that the rubber is not easily detached.

3.Wide adaptability: Friction rollers are suitable for various conveyors, whether they are long conveyors or longitudinal conveyors, and can achieve efficient material transportation.

4.Easy maintenance: Due to the surface of the friction roller being covered with a layer of rubber, replacement and maintenance are relatively convenient, requiring almost no special tools or equipment.
