While the requirements in the area of material handling, especially intralogistics, are increasing continuously, the demands placed on the materials used due to the goods to be transported are also rising. Given the increasing speed, one important element of drive systems must always function reliably: the bearing. There are different types of guide roller: driven guide rollers made of steel, types made of stainless steel or plastic. They are used to establish a rolling contact between the conveyor frame and the conveyor belt. The guide rollers supplied by igus® can be used flexibly and, depending on the requirements, can be fitted with different deep groove bearing bearings. The igus® conveyor rollers are not only used in the area of material handling but also in labelling machines, the packaging industry and the food industry, where they are sometimes used as guide rollers.

In this labelling machine, polymer ball bearings are used in up to 36 guide rollers instead of metal solutions made of steel, which were too heavy and had to be lubricated. Their task is to guide the plastic film as it moves through the machine. Service life was increased and maintenance costs were lowered. Up to now, the polymer ball bearings have ensured that the guide rollers operate quietly and that the machine performs its task without interruption.
xiros® bearings are put through their paces in the largest test laboratory.
