Driven idlers from Schwalb

High-quality idlers for conveyor technology

To ensure the smooth transportation of your goods, it is important to select the optimum conveyor rollers for your application. We offer a variety of rollers with different tube diameters, bearing types and axle machining. You can also choose from different materials of the rollers (steel, plastic, Vulkollan®) to meet your specific requirements. Stainless steel versions are also available.

How do I choose the right idler/conveyor belt roller?

By following the steps below, you can select the idlers that best suit your conveyor system and your requirements.

  1. Load requirements:
    Take into account the weight of the conveyor belt and the conveyed goods that must be supported by the idlers. Determine the maximum load to ensure that the idlers are strong enough.
  2. Speed of the conveyor belt:
    Depending on the speed at which the conveyor belt moves, the idlers must be sized accordingly to ensure smooth movement.
  3. Inclination angle:
    If the conveyor belt is inclined, the idlers must be able to support the weight of the conveyor belt and the conveyed goods even under this condition. Check the specific requirements for the inclination of your conveyor belt.
  4. Environmental factors:
    Consider environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and chemical resistance. Depending on the environment, certain materials or coatings may be required for the idlers to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
  5. Specific application conditions:
    Consider the specific application conditions of your conveyor system. This may include, for example, special requirements for noise levels, abrasion resistance or the grip of the idlers.
  6. Contact experts:
    When choosing the right idlers, it is helpful to seek expert advice. Contact us as the manufacturer for assistance in selecting the right idlers for your specific application.
