Key Factors to Consider When Choosing polyurethane Conveyor Rollers

Selection Factory

What It Means GCS Expert Tips Load Capacity (kg)  The weight the roller must support during operation.  Provide load per roller and product contact area. PU Hardness (Shore A)  Affects cushioning and noise level.  Choose 70A for quiet/light loads, 80A for general use, 90–95A for heavy-duty. Speed (m/s)  Impact roller balance and material wear  Let us know your line speed. We test dynamic balance before shipment. Working Temperature (°C)  Important in high-heat or freezer environments.  Standard PU: -20°C to +80°C. High-temp versions available. Roller Dimensions  Includes diameters, length, and wall thickness  Share your conveyor layout or drawing for accurate matching. Bearing Type  Affects load, speed, and  waterproofing  Options: deep groove, waterproof, low-noise sealed bearings
