Paddy Sorry for just seeing your post. Is the roller brush driven independent of the conveyor belt or are you relying on the belt to rotate the brush?

Hi Scoutb59, I have seen these type of rollers used in plants manufacturing wire rope and electrical cabling, but cannot offer details on a supplier for the complete roller. If it is any help, Wellington Bearings in Melbourne Australia manufacture bearings (of various configurations) and do...

Hi Mr Ridley Firstly, you need to advise the means of driving this conveyor. I assume from your notes that the existing rollers are 2.75", but how do you intend to impose drive to these rollers(Chain, vee belt, timing belt, flat belt etc) as this will then determine the best means. So far your...
