The Components
An Innoveyor Idler Roller with the InnoFlex® Self-Aligning Bearing Technology consists of:
- A Shaft,
The solid steel shaft runs the full length of the idler - the Combi-Cap,
Each shaft end is covered by a Combi-cap shaft cap protector. - the SKF PEER Bearing,The SKF/Peer Metric ball bearings sit on top of the Combi-Cap shaft protector and not directly on the metal shaft.
- two Grease Retention Seals and two Rubber Contact Bearings Seals,
The Innoveyor InnoFlex® Self-aligning bearing housing technology; is engineered with 4 independent seal zones which protect the bearing from the ingress of solids and liquids. - the Bearing Housing,
The engineered surfaces of the InnoFlex® Self Aligning Bearing Housing cut through sticky corrosive solids, allowing the roll to operate smoothly upon start-up - the Flinger Cap,
The centrifugal and mechanical forces created when the labyrinth seals turn, keeps solids out. - and the Roller.
Idler rolls manufactured with the InnoFlex® bearing housings do not expose steel edges that could tear or damage conveyor belting.
