Self Aligning Roller for Belt Conveyor
GCS self-aligning roller keeps your conveyor on track. This helps reduce the risk of serious belt damage.
We produce 60 mm, 63.5 mm, 76 mm, 89 mm, 102 mm, 114 mm, 127 mm, 139 mm, 159 mm. They cover almost all belt width requirements. General steel rollers consist of a roller shell, spindle, bearing, bearing housing, sealing device, and axial fixing. It is recommended to install one or two sets of return centering idlers. Place them on the return side of the belt, near the tail pulley. They should be 6 to 9 meters from the pulley.

The idler side guide rollers have a concave shape to prevent the belt from running on the conveyor. To reduce belt wear, the side guide rollers are available in premium HDPE made, and are also available in plain steel Q235, reducing friction between the rollers and the belt.

How It works
The self-aligning rollers for conveyor belt use a pivoting frame or tilting structure. When the belt shifts to one side, the roller responds by rotating slightly. This small movement helps push the belt back to its proper position. There are two main types:
-
Self Aligning Carrying Roller: Positioned on the top side to support the loaded belt.
-
Self Aligning Return Roller: Installed underneath to support the empty return belt.
