Abstract:
A roller device comprises: an attachment bolt; a roller mounted on the attachment bolt, wherein the roller is configured as a roller unit including at least one attachment bush, a bearing, and a roller; and a fastening system to releasably fasten the bush of the roller unit to the attachment bolt. The fastening system comprises a clip fastening system to mount the roller unit on the attachment bolt without using tools. The clip fastening system comprises a radially encircling groove in the inner surface of the attachment bush, a radially encircling groove in the surface of the attachment bolt, and a flexible securing ring.
Abstract:
A cartridge bearing assembly for a roller conveyor system includes a housing having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A pair of bearings is spaced from each other and disposed in the housing. An shaft is received by the pair of bearings. The shaft is formed from a plastic material. A spring is disposed about a first portion of the shaft intermediate the pair of bearings. The spring biases the shaft outwardly from the first end of the housing.
Abstract:
A roll for continuous casting comprises a cylindrical roll rotatably mounted on a fixed axle and having a cooling chamber that surrounds the axle for receiving a flow of coolant. The axle is mounted on a roll support system. The roll support system comprises a first roll support connected to a coolant supply system and a second roll support connected to a coolant drain system. The axle comprises a first inlet connected to the first roll support, a first outlet connected to the coolant chamber, a second inlet connected to the coolant chamber, and a second outlet connected to the second roll support. A coolant flow circuit has a flow path from the coolant supply system to the coolant drain system through the first roll support, the first inlet, the first outlet, the coolant chamber, the second inlet, the second outlet, and the second roll support.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a flap bearing arrangement (10), having a bearing mount (20) with two side parts (24) connected by means of a tube section (22), between which is arranged an O-ring (30) which surrounds the tube section (22). Also disclosed is a flap bearing arrangement (100) for an intake device (200) having a flap shaft (100).
Abstract:
A roller for compressing protective sheeting of polymer material around a pipeline rotates about a given or designated axis of rotation and has a shaft; and a first tubular portion which extends about the shaft and varies in elasticity along the given or designated axis of rotation; more specifically, the first tubular portion is of greater elasticity at the ends of the roller than at the center of the roller.
Abstract:
A bearing-isolating seal (40) comprises a metal seal member (50) and a non-metal seal member (60). The seal members (50, 60) comprise radial walls (51-53, 61-62) defining annular slots (55-56, 65) that together form a labyrinth-like path through the seal (40). The spindle-side wall (62) of the metal seal member (50) is sized for press-fit attachment around a spindle and the roller-side wall (51) of the non-metal seal member (60) is adapted to receive a roller therearound.
Abstract:
An idler roll bearing assembly, made by a method, includes a shaft having a non-grooved outer surface. A shell extends about the shaft and is rotatable relative to the shaft. A rolling bearing is secured to the shaft. A roll head is secured to the rolling bearing. The roll head includes a portion preventing axial displacement of the rolling bearing. The shell is supported for the relative rotation by the roll head. A retaining sleeve is located on the shaft to prevent axial displacement of the rolling bearing. The sleeve has an interior surface in engagement with the non-grooved outer surface of the shaft. An inner diameter of the sleeve and an outer diameter of the shaft are sized such that the sleeve is secured onto the shaft by frictional interference fit and the sleeve is maintained at a position on the shaft by the frictional interference.
Abstract:
A mounting structure for engagement of sleeves has an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve. The outer sleeve is mounted around the inner sleeve and has an outer surface. The inner sleeve has an isolating slot and may have at least one functionary element. The isolating slot is defined in the inner sleeve between the inner surface and the outer surface of the outer sleeves and has a depth. When an appropriate force is applied to the outer surface of the outer sleeve to make the sleeves deform to engage with each other, the deformation of the inner sleeve will stop by the isolating sleeve. Therefore the functionary elements mounted inside the inner sleeve will not be damaged.
Abstract:
A roller insert for a conveyor roller tube includes a cartridge, a stub axle positioned within the cartridge, at least one bearing mounted within the cartridge and supporting the axle such that the cartridge is rotatable with respect to the axle, and an annular sleeve configured to be inserted into an end of a conveyor roller tube. The cartridge is securely and non-rotatably positioned within the annular sleeve. A conveyor roller assembly is also provided.
Abstract:
A greasing system for conveyor belt rollers uses a depression formed in a shaft about which the roller rotates to permit grease to flow from a front side to a backside of a roller bearing. In this way grease can be applied to the bearing while the conveyor is operating. The grease then flows from the backside of the bearing, through the bearing and out an outlet on the front side of the bearing making it easy to determine when the bearing has been fully greased.
