Guide rollers with maintenance-free operation by xiros®

In principle, guide rollers consist of a supporting axis enclosed by a supporting shell, as well as deep groove ball bearings with flanges as end caps. Our guide rollers can be used flexibly and can be equipped with different deep groove ball bearings depending on requirements. In addition to conveyor technology, the xiros guide rollers with ball bearings are used in labelling equipment, packaging and food industries, where they are sometimes used as deflection rollers. igus® ball bearings and guide rollers offer smooth and consistent operation, offering a wide variety of bearings designed for many different applications and industries.

Material handling requirements are regulated and specified by standards that all industries must adhere to. With production speeds increasing, material handling times become shorter, necessitating the most reliable equipment and transport technologies.

Available outer diameters: 20, 30, 40, 38, 50, 63, 100mm for tube lengths up to 1,500mm.
