Non-Powered Wheel Conveyor


Application DataWheel conveyors are advantageous in the conveying of lightweight packages or when the systemrequires lightweight components. Wheel conveyor curves are often used in a roller conveyor systembecause the differential action of the wheels reduces the disorientation of the product which occurswith a straight roller curve, i.e., the product doesn’t "turn" on the conveyor.

When the product to be conveyed is light, the low inertia of a wheel system permits gravity operationon a lesser grade than a roller conveyor. The wheel units offer advantages of quick and easy assemblyor disassembly. Wheel sections using aluminum wheels and frames are available when extremelightness is required. Wooden or firm cardboard cartons with smooth, even conveying surfaces areeasily conveyed by gravity on wheel conveyor. Cans with chimes, any false bottom packages (such ascrates), damp or soggy cartons or soft-bottom cartons are not easily conveyed by wheel conveyors.

GradesGrades required for conveying cartons will vary with the weight of the carton and the conditions of itsconveying surface. Full cases and cartons will convey satisfactorily on grades of 3" per 10'-0" sectionor 3" per 90° curve. Empty cases or cartons require about 4" per 10'-0" section. Extremely lightarticles, loosely tied articles, and wire bound or soft-bottom articles require steeper grades. The wheelconveyor has been successfully used to convey bagged materials such as cement, lime, carbon, etc.The grade required is about 6" per 10'-0" section. A steep grade adequate to start movement mayallow excessive speed to develop once the load is moving and in these cases, retarding platesinserted in the line offer sufficient braking to slow the packages down.

ComponentsFrames

Frames for wheel conveyor are available in steel or aluminum construction. Steel frames aredesignated "ARG" and are formed from .109" zinc plated steel. Also, the cross bracing of zinc platedsteel is bolted, using self-locking nuts. The center rails are 1/8" x 1" zinc plated steel. The axle boltsare 1/4" diameter steel. The optional aluminum construction is designated as "ARA" and utilizesextruded aluminum channel and the B4001-1 aluminum wheel. The center rails and cross braces areplated steel.

Both zinc plated steel and aluminum are corrosion resistant. There are three plated steel cross bracesper 10'-0" section in 10" W and 16" W and four in the 22" W sections.

STEEL CONSTRUCTION ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION

These high quality wheels are manufactured withprecision-ground balls and hardened steel races.They extend 3/8” above the frame. The wheels areaxles set on 3” centers. These wheels are availablewith either steel shell (B4000-1), or aluminum shell(B4001-1).

Selection Guidelines

Selection GuidelinesThe Selection Guidelines are presented to assist you with the selection of a gravity roller conveyor tomatch your requirement. You should also review other Mathews handbooks which provide relatedapplication data: HB-822, Bearings, Wheels and Ball Transfers and HB-823, Industrial Rollers.

Product LoadingThe maximum load that the conveyor will encounter (live load) is a major factor in deterining theconveyor specifications. The conveyor loading, expressed in pounds per foot, can be obtained by anyone of the following methods:

1. Divide the total maximum load on the conveyor by the conveyor length.

2. When product is back to back on the conveyor, the conveyor loading is a function of productweight and product length.

Note: When determing conveyor loading, always consider the worst possible condition.

Many products have rigid bottoms or conveying surfaces and more often than not they are not exactlyflat. In order to compensate for this, it is advisable to figure that only 2/3 of the rollers will support thefull weight of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to take the weights of the various products being

Total load on conveyor lbs( )Conveyor Length ft( )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conveyor Loading lbs ft⁄( )=

Product Weight lbs( )Product Length ft( )

-------------------------------------------------------------- Conveyor Loading lbs ft⁄( )=

For shock loads considerhigher capacity frame orsupports at 5’-0” centers,instead of the standard10’-0” centers.

Live Load 500 lbs. ÷ 10’-0” = 50 lbs./ft.

Frame Capacity 1000 lbs. ÷ 10’0” = 100 lbs./ft.

Less Conveyor Weight 200 lbs. ÷ 10’-0” = (-) 20 lbs./ft.

Maximum Live Load 80 lbs./ft.

HB-825 - 12/03 Selection Guidelines - 13


conveyed and divide by 2/3 of the rollers under the product to determine the required capacity of eachroller. Because of the variety of rollers available, see the individual specification pages.

Example: 19" long product weighing 80 lbs.

The closest standard will probably be 6". Therefore, there are three rollers under the product. 2/3 x 3 =2 rollers supporting 80 lbs.

80 lbs. ÷ 2 rollers = 40 lbs. per roller required capacity.

If the roller you have selected does not meet the capacity requirement using the 2/3 condition, thereare alternatives available besides a larger diameter. You should consider closer roller centers, highercapacity bearings or a heavier gauge tubing. Mathews does offer standard rollers that have the sameoutside diameter but different wall thickness (gauge). A heavier gauge can withstand more abuse. Forexample, a 1.90" dia. x .065" wall roller may be fine for carton handling. It would not stand up well inhandling steel drums, as they are apt to dent the thinner wall rollers. A 1.90" dia. x .148" wall rollerwould probably be a better selection.

Roller CentersWhen selecting a roller conveyor, the most important consideration is roller centers.

It is considered good engineering practice to have a minimum of three (3) rollers in contact with theconveyed package at all times. To calculate this minimum, divide the dimension of the package parallelto the direction of travel by three (3), then specify the closest standard roller center.

As an example: Assume the conveying length of the package is 24". This dimension divided by three(3) indicates an acceptable roller center of 8". If we are considering AR or CR frames, which arepunched on 1-1/2" modules, 8" would not be a standard center. With the 1-1/2" modules, standardcenters would be either 7-1/2" or 9". In this case, we would specify 7-1/2" centers, since 9" centerswould not provide for three (3) rollers under the package.

The next consideration is load rating. Will three (3) rollers support the package weight?

Let us assume that the weight of the package is uniformly distributed and weighs 400 pounds. Thecapacity of the roller being considered is 100 pounds per roller. This would mean a minimum of four (4)rollers are required under the package at all times. Taking the 24" package length and dividing by 4rollers yields a requirement of 6" centers.

For 6" centers to be acceptable, the following qualifications must be met:A. The conveying surface of the package must be near perfect.

It is a rare occasion that we find a perfect conveying surface. Most packages have surfaces withvarying degrees of irregularity. Depending on the degree of these irregularities, different loadconditions will be imposed on various rollers.

19″ Product3 Rollers

---------------------------------- 6.33″ roller centers=

Selection Guidelines - 14 HB-825 - 12/03


B. The package length must be at least 24".

In our example, if the 24" dimension isnot rigidly held, or the conveyor surfacehas slightly rounded corners, we couldhave the entire load imposed on three(3) rollers.

C. The frame rail must be able to support the load.

The published frame rail capacitiesdenote loads the frame rail will supportwithout excessive deflection.

If we have a "Perfectly Level andPerfectly Rigid" conveying surface wemay satisfy condition "1", yet stilldeflect the frame. In reality, the fact that most conveying surfaces have some "give" to them helpsus in overcoming frame rail deflection.

There is another point to be consideredwhen the load is equal to the full capacity ofthe roller. In the example of the 400 poundpackage conveyed on 6" centers, when thepackage is properly distributed.

When the package is as shown in theillustration to the right, the load is properlydistributed.

Any other position will generate excessiveloading on certain rollers.



All of the foregoing assumes a package ofuniform loading. If we have a package thatis not uniform, we must study the conditionof eccentric loading to properly define rollerspacing.

If the adjoining sections of the conveyor arenot adjusted to precise elevations, acondition that imposes excessive loads oncertain rollers could be created.

Impact loading is also a consideration. A400 pound package dropped onto theconveyor would be equivalent to a loadgreatly in excess of the 400 pounds.

Conclusions1. An absolute minimum of three (3) rollers should be under a package at all times.

2. If three (3) rollers will not provide sufficient capacity to support the load, specify closer centers or ahigher capacity roller. It is better to specify rollers with greater capacity.

3. Every conveyor application is unique to some degree. Be sure you have a thorough understandingof the product and the application before specifying centers.

3------------------------------------- Roller Spacing 24″

3--------- 8″ Roller Centers==



Use caution in selecting roller centers when the unit being conveyed does not have a solid bottomsurface in contact with the rollers.



Gravity GradesConsiderations

For gravity to generate movement of a package, theforce of gravity must be sufficient to overcome theresistance of the rollers or wheels involved.

The force of gravity on a perfectly horizontalconveyor is exerted perpendicular to the conveyingface. The direction of this force is vertical. (SeeFigure to the left).

As the conveyor is inclined, the gravitational forcecontinues to be exerted in a vertical direction.However it is no longer perpendicular to the face ofthe conveyor. (See Figure to the left).

This force can now be broken down in to two vectorforces, one perpendicular and one parallel to theface of the conveyor. As the degree of inclineincreases, the magnitude of the perpendicular forcedecreases, while the magnitude of the parallel forceincreases. (See Figure to the left).

When the conveyor is declined sufficiently so thatthe parallel force of the conveyor is sufficient toovercome the resistance of the rollers at rest, thepackage will start moving.

The degree of decline required for a gravity systemto operate may vary under different conditions. Ifthe package being conveyed has a "firm" conveyingsurface, less grade will be required than if thepackage has a "soft" surface. (See Figure to theleft)

The degree of decline will be affected by roller andbearing construction. Non-precision bearingsrequire less grade than precision bearings. Theinternal clearances and tolerances of precision

bearings increase the force required to make them rotate. Grease packed or regreasable bearings arenormally not used for graded applications.

The heavier the product, the less grade is required. Brakes or other speed control devices may have tobe used for long runs of very heavy products.



Roller weight will influence the grade. It takes more force to start heavier rollers, but once they areturning they will continue to rotate for a longer period of time. If two rollers with different diametershave equal weight, the larger diameter roller will require less grade.

If packages must start from rest after a lengthy dwell time, such as overnight, additional grade may berequired to compensate for carton indentation.

Controlled GravityA grade sufficient to start a line flowing from a standing start will frequently cause excessive speed insubsequent packages. This is particularly true for long runs. After the first package has begun to move,the rollers over which it has passed are now in some state of rotation. A second package passing overthese rollers will benefit from this rotation and would travel faster than the first package. This processcould continue until a "train" of packages has been created traveling much faster than the grade wasplanned for.

Some control can be made by inserting retarding plates or "roller brakes". If these are used, anyproduct that stops on them may not restart without assistance.

Another way to control speed would be to insert a short section of BDLR into the gravity line. Thiswould tend to "pace" the speed of the line to the speed of the live roller unit. On long runs, multipleinserts of BDLR may be required so that the unchecked speed and weight of the product does notcause it to skid or slide over the controlled rollers. This type of speed control is not recommended forproducts weighing over 50 lbs.

Another point to be considered is the effect a distributed load will have on the grade. If we considerone package on a conveyor, and determine a grade sufficient to generate movement of the product,this same grade may not be sufficient to move a train of products from a standing start. Depending onthe frame rail of the conveyor and the spacing of supports, this grade may have to be increased. Thedeflection of the frame rail under multiple package loads might crease "dead spots" in the system. Seeillustration below.

It is for this reason that in this catalog we provide you with two capacities, level storage and gravityflow. The capacity for gravity flow is always less, to minimize the occurrence of “dead spots.”



Proper GradeThe proper grade of a gravity conveyor should be determined by actual field test of the conveyor, usingthe product that is to be conveyed. Approximate grades can be recommended, but finite grades for agiven set of conditions should be resolved in the field at the time of installation. Our standard supports,properly specified, provide sufficient range to enable this adjustment to be made.

To assist you in the selection process, the following chart shows the results of tests conducted at ourfactory. The tests were made using two different conveyors:

1. 10'-0" long section of 2CR-B1020-1 - 1.90" dia. x .065" (16 ga.) steel - 3" roller centers - 27"Between Frames.

2. 10'-0" long section of 2H-B1060-1 - 2.50" dia. x .120" (11 ga.) steel - 4" roller centers - 39"Between Frames.

We tested the slope required to keep a product moving as well as the slope required to start a productfrom rest. Please remember that these tests should be used as a guide only.

Conveyor WidthThe next consideration for specifying roller conveyor is conveyor width. The width required should bespecified in terms of between conveyor frame dimension (W).

1. First determine if the conveyor will require guard rail or product will overhang the conveyor.

2. Next select the W width required to convey product around curves. Refer to the Curve SelectionCharts below. The W for straight sections should match the W of the curve.

3. Use this W to order conveyor sections, components and accessories.

4. Our standard widths are in 3" increments. Conveyors with formed channels have a minimum W of6". Structural channel conveyors have a minimum W of 9".

ROLLERS SET HIGH

Can handle loads wider than conveyor width.

Maximum load width = W x 1.25

When guard rails are installed, allow extra widthfor curves to avoid friction from guard rail.

When guard rails are installed on the conveyorframe allow a minimum 1” clearance on eachside between product and guard rail.



Gravity CurvesCurve Types

1. Wheel

A wheel curve is an excellent means of turning a package, but use is limited to situations wherethe between frame (W) dimension of the conveyor is 10", 16" or 22".

2. Rail Construction With Straight Faced Rollers

Straight faced roller curves are usually the most economical. As a general rule they are used whenthe W of the system does not exceed 51", and where precise package control is not critical. Wherethe W is in excess of 51", a 3-Rail curve should be considered.

3. 2-Rail Construction With Tapered Rollers

Tapered rollers are the best means of turning a package and delivering it properly oriented.

The tapered roller is made on a die. The radius of the inside rail is designed so that the taper of therollers in the curve will meet at a focal point. To make this construction economically practical, wetry to obtain maximum use of one (1) set of dies. As a result, we use the same degree of taper forseveral lengths of rollers, leaving longer rollers with a partial straight face. Normally, this does nothave an adverse effect on the curve. If packages on a curve are traveling side by side, thisconstruction may not be acceptable.

4. 3-Rail Construction With Straight Faced Rollers

The 3-Rail curve, comprised of two (2) lanes of rollers, will provide a differential action enabling thepackage to turn on the rollers with less drag than on an equivalent 2-Rail curve. In addition, havingtwo (2) sets of rollers with shorter axle length, increases the capacity of the curve.

3-Rail curves can be ordered with specially designed roller patterns to provide more rollers in theoutside lane. As a result, the roller gap of the curve is held to a minimum.

Curve Design Considerations1. Package Characteristics

There are several package characteristics which will effect how the package is conveyed througha curve. These include size, shape, weight, product uniformity and conveying surface of thepackage.

2. Product Width

Many times curves in a system will dictate the width of the conveyor for the entire system, in thatthe product may require additional space to negotiate the turn. This "additional space" dependsupon the width and length of the product. The charts shown on pages 9 and 10 show the conveyorwidths required to convey product around a curve.



The conveyor widths listed are based on our standard radii for the various standard BetweenFrame dimension curves. These charts are also based on the formula shown below. You shouldalso keep in mind the basic principle that the inside radius should be greater than the length of theproduct.

Formula for determining distance Between Frames or Guard Rails:

3. Product Length

For curves, the roller centers on the inside rail are closer together than they are on the outside rail.In our standard construction, the wider the conveyor, the more rollers are required in the curve tokeep the roller centers to a minimum. You must keep this "fanning" effect in mind when choosingcurves.

Due to the variations available, the roller spacing at various points on the curves are shown on theindividual specification pages.

4. Product Weight

It was stated earlier that the product weight determines roller selection, roller spacing and frameselection for straight sections. The same holds true for curves. The rollers and frames you selectfor the curve section should be compatible with the straight sections. Roller capacity should bechecked in the same manner as you did for straight sections.

The abuse factor also holds true for curves. You will note that tapered rollers are either 16 ga. or18 ga., depending on roller size. The straight faced roller curves and 3 rail curves are available inthe same assortment of diameters and wall thickness as sections.

Supports are required at both ends of a curve, as well as at the midpoint if the curve is over 45degrees. Full width supports and single leg supports are available.

5. Speed Of The Package

Package speed should also be considered. The speed of the line could be so great that thepackage would be thrown from the conveyor as it enters the curve.

G Radius Package+( )2 PackageLength2

2 Radius 2–( )–+=



6. Type Of Construction Of The Curve

The construction of the curve will have an influence, as previously discussed.

7. Relative Grades Of The Curve As Compared To The Feed And Discharge Sections

If there is a difference in grade between the feed and the curve, the package will be affected. Thepackage will not be influenced by the curve until its center of gravity passes the transition pointbetween the curve and the adjoining section.

8. Package Positioning

If packages approach the curve "in train," a curve will not be able to turn the package properly.There must be package separation for the curve to properly function.

If a curve discharges a package within 5 degrees of the relative position with which it wasreceived, it is considered that the curve is effective. Precise package orientation can not beguaranteed.

Any package negotiating a curve must undergo some physical twisting on the wheels and rollers toresult in a turned package. As a result, a gravity curve should never be joined on a belt conveyor.The high friction between the belt and the package will not allow the package to be immediatelyinfluenced, thus preventing the required twisting. If a curve is to join a belt conveyor, there shouldbe a length of wheel or roller conveyor, at least as long as the longest package, ahead of thecurve. It is acceptable to directly join a curve to gravity or live roller conveyor.



Frame SelectionIn order to simplify selection, this brochure contains roller and frame combinations that have beenselected to offer compatibility in size and capacity. Having determined the roller size, you will find thatroller in a specific frame. You will need to confirm that this frame has the required capacity. You need todetermine the total load on the conveyor at the worst loading condition. Add to that the weight of theconveyor section, and check the frame capacity chart on each page. A composite of the framecapacities and the formulas used to calculate the capacities are also shown in the Calculating FrameCapacities section, page 35. The weight of the frame plus the rollers must be deducted from the ratedcapacity of the frames to determine the load the conveyor will carry. You will note that the capacities forthe frames are based on support centers, either on 5'-0" or 10'-0". In some instances, it may be moreeconomical to stay with a smaller rail and increase the number of supports to achieve the desiredcapacity.

Mathews standard non-powered conveyors include a frame which we have pre-selected. Our selectionis based upon compatibility in size and capacity of rollers and frames. If you require a non-standardcombination of frame and rollers, the following guidelines should be considered when selecting aframe.

Frame TypesThere are many types of frames available. The most common are roll formed channels, structuralchannels, structural angles and flat stock. Usually the conveyor frames are the same on both sidesand are connected with a welded cross brace. The cross brace is usually an angle. The illustrationsbelow show some of the more common frame and cross brace configurations.

Cross Brace RequirementsThe chart on the next page provides a guide for choosing a cross brace for all Mathews frame types.Between Frame width (W) is a major determining factor in the cross brace selected, as the chartindicates.

The number of cross braces required per section is determined by either section length of curvedegree and inside radius. The chart below should be used to select the required number of crossbraces.

Angle FramesAngle frames are available with thehorizontal toe either turned in or out. Themost common reason for toes in is toconserve space. Angles with toes turnedout may be required to accept a devicebeing placed between the frames such as astop or a transfer device. The basic two railconfigurations are shown in the illustrationto the left.

Angle frames come in a variety of thickness for the same size angle, i.e. 2" x 2" x 1/4" vs. 2" x 2" x 3/16". By far, angle frames are thicker than channel frames and may therefore be more suitable to shockloading where the axle tries to elongate the axle hole.

If drop-in construction is required, it is easier to notch out the top of an angle rather than the top flangeof a channel. To reduce the elongation of axle holes due to shock loading, it is easier to attach "wearbars" to the outside of the angle with toes in since there are no top or bottom flanges to contend withlike there are with channels. These wear bars give the axle additional surface area against which torest, greatly reducing axle hole elongation.

CAUTION: A layout drawing should be made when rollers are unusually low, close centers are required, flanged rollers are used, or any combination of these conditions exist. This drawing is needed to insure that there is a minimum of 1/4” clearance between roller and cross brace.



Channel FramesChannel frames do offer some advantagesover angle frames. Channels are more rigidand stronger than angles that are of equalheight. There is a larger variety of couplingsavailable with channel frames than withangle frames. It is easier to attachaccessories to a channel frame. The basicchannel configurations are shown in theillustration to the left.

Roller Position - High or LowNon-powered roller conveyor comes in one of two configurations for roller position relative to the framerail, rollers high or rollers low.

Rollers High - In this configuration, the carrying surface of the roller is above the top edge of the framerail. This configuration would allow the product to over hang the rollers, if necessary, but would requireguard rails if the product had to be contained. Rollers high is available in both angle and channelframes.

Rollers Low - In this configuration, the carrying surface is below the top edge of the frame rail. Theframes themselves act as guard rails. However, wider products cannot be accommodated and theconveyor therefore may not be as adaptable for future applications. Rollers low is available in bothangle and channel frames.



Frame Rail VariationsEarlier, it was stated that with gravity rollerconveyor usually the conveyor frames arethe same on both sides of the conveyor andthis is indeed true. There are occasionswhere it may be more economical to use acombination of different size channels oreven channels and angles. These areusually located in areas requiring largeheavy products such as pallets or heavymolds.

In this application, the larger outside rails act as a guard rail.

Another variation is what is called three rail construction. Although three rail construction is mostcommonly used in a curve, it is also used in straight sections to provide additional rollers under theproduct for better conveyablility and greater capacity.

The following three charts provide dimensional specifications for Mathews angle and channel frames.

Frame Rail PunchingFrames are available as structural members or roll formed members. Roll formed channels start out atour plant as flat coil stock and are fed through a series of rolls that form it into a channel. This channelcontinues through a series of machines that punch holes in the web and flanges and is finally shearedoff in standard 10'-0" lengths. As a result, roll formed channels such as AR, CR, PR, and QR have aset pattern for axle holes and flange punching. The hex axle punching is on 1-1/2" centers, the bottomflange punching is on 1-1/2" centers and the top flange punching is a 12" repeating pattern.

The multiple punching for AR, CR, PR, and QR rails serves several purposes.

1. Versatility for future applications. If the initial application requires roller centers of6" and a later application requires 3" or 4-1/2" centers, the same equipmentcould be reused by adding additional rollers in the available pre-punched axleholes.

2. Allows for placement of supports and accessories anywhere along the undersidefor the conveyor.

3. Allows for attachment of guards anywhere along the top side of the conveyor without interferingwith the roller axles.

The above values take into consideration the reduction in capacity of frame rails caused by standardweb and flange punching. They are based on a uniformly distributed load between supports with theload equally shared by both rails.

There are two methods generally used to calculate the capacity of two rail frames: deflection andstress. The frame capacity is normally limited by the allowable working stress unless the deflectionaffects product conveyablility. The stress method is used for level lines and the lowest of the stressmethod and deflection method capacities is used for the graded lines.

In order to simplify frame selection, standard roller and frame combinations are available that offercompatibility in size and capacity. Having determined the roller size and spacing, check the capacity ofthe standard frame rail that is offered with that roller. You need to add the total load on the conveyor atthe worst loading condition (live load) plus the weight of the rollers and frames and compare that withthe frame capacity. Since the standard length of most conveyor sections is 10'-0", the capacities aregiven for that length so supports can be placed at the section splice or joint whenever possible. Ifadditional capacity is required, it may be necessary to provide supports on 5'-0" centers.

A comparison should be made to see if it is more economical to select a larger and stronger frame andsupport it on 10'-0" centers or select a smaller frame with less capacity and put the supports on 5'-0"centers. If your choice is more supports, don’t forget the increase in installation costs for thosesupports, i.e. drilling anchor holes, adjusting the height, attaching to the conveyor section, etc.

In reviewing the frame capacities in this catalog you will see that there are capacities listed for supportson 10'-0" centers and 5'-0" centers. There are also different capacities for level conveyors and gradedconveyors.

1. Normally the limiting factor for frame capacity for graded gravity lines is deflection or sagging ofthe frame. The support centers are important because the farther apart the supports, the greaterthe sag for the same load. Therefore, the capacities for 5'-0" centers are always greater then for10'-0" centers.

2. The reason the capacities for level conveyors are greater than for graded conveyors is that for alevel line the only way the product will move is if it is being pushed. Therefore, if physical force isrequired, a greater sag in the frames can be tolerated. For graded conveyor, we are depending onthe force of gravity to move product forward on a decline unit. If a graded conveyor was loaded tothe same capacity as a level unit, the sag may be so great that at certain points along the con-veyor, a stopped carton would not be able to restart by its own weight.

The method of loading may be a factor in determining frame rail size. Generally, the conveyor loadingpoint will require more frame capacity because of possible impact or abuse from the loadingmechanisms such as fork trucks.

CouplingsThere are several methods of attaching one conveyor section to another. Due to design criteria, alltypes of couplings are not available on all sizes and styles of roller conveyor. Mathews has pre-selected couplings for all units and optional couplings are also identified.

Plain End - PEThere are several styles of gravity roller conveyor where no couplings are available. This normallyoccurs on small diameter roller conveyor, having rollers on close centers and in the low position. Inthese instances, the axle is located in the area where a coupling would normally be attached.Therefore, on sections with no couplings you would require two (2) tripod supports per conveyorsection for temporary installations.

For permanent installations, the top gusset of the support would couple the sections together.

Universal - UThe universal coupling is designed so that whichever end is presented to the adjoining section, the unitcan be joined. This is especially important when curves are involved. This saves time and money whensetting up temporary installations. In addition, the universal coupling offers a more rigid connectionthan the hook and rod type. By the insertion of a second bolt, a locked joint is provided for permanentinstallations.

Universal couplings are to be used only when rollers or wheels are above the frame rails. Actual framerail length is 2" less than the nominal section length. The minimum roller or wheel centers are 3".Female couplings are on the right hand rail when facing the end of the section.

ROLLERCONVEYOR

WHEELCONVEYOR



Hook and Rod - HRHook and rod couplings are available on light duty portable roller conveyor, normally used in temporaryinstallations. These couplings are available when adding to an existing installation which already has ahook and rod type coupling. The slot in the hook allows angling the section 3" to 6" per 10’-0" section.

ROD TYPE COUPLING HOOK TYPE COUPLING



Welded Butt - BThis coupling is a plate that is welded into a channel frame at the end of the section. This type is verypopular in that it provides a strong joint and allows the installer to draw the two sections together. Thesupport can be placed at the joint or near to it. There are no bolt heads to act as catch points to theproduct being conveyed.

Bolted Butt - BBThis is a channel shaped coupling that provides a butt joint but is bolted in place instead of beingwelded. This coupling is normally used where field modifications to conveyor lengths are necessaryand yet a butt type coupling is specified.

2 Strap - 2SThis coupling is used in medium duty roller conveyor. It consists of 2 "straps" of steel, one on each rail.Normally, the 2 strap coupling is used in conjunction with a support and the strap is placed under thetop flange, one on each side of the conveyor. If the strap was placed on the top of the top flange, itwould interfere with the placement of angle guard rails or it might cause product to catch. Thethickness of the strap plus the height of the bolt head could be greater than the dimension from the topof the flange to the top of the roller.

4 Strap - 4SThis coupling is the same as the two strap except there are four pieces instead of two. This type couldbe used at a joint where a support would be close, but not right at the joint. These straps, two on eachside of the conveyor, would be placed under the top flange and on top of the bottom flange.

Heavy StrapThe heavy strap coupling is used with angle frames. It is bolted to the side rail rather than a top orbottom flange.



Support SelectionWhen selecting the supports, be sure to include the weight of the frame plus rollers, along with the liveload to determine the required capacity of the supports. Note that the nominal height is to the bottom ofthe conveyor frame rail. Care must be exercised in selecting supports to meet the proper elevation.

AccessoriesA successful non-powered conveyor system frequently depends upon the proper accessories. Variousaccessories, such as spur sections, hinged gate sections, switch sections, transfer cars, turntables,and ball transfer tables are available. All help to increase the versatility of a roller system. However, itshould be remembered that some of the above accessories may require manual assistance to movematerial to and from the conveyor.
