xiros® conveyor rollers are ready-made roller assemblies for deflecting films and labels or conveying goods in lightweight, low-maintenance systems. Across the range, igus® positions them as efficient conveyor solutions that use thin-walled tubes and high-performance polymer bearing components to support smooth running and lower drive energy.
This conductive version is built around a carbon steel tube with xirodur® F182 plastic bearings. Its main advantage is controlled conductivity: it helps prevent uncontrolled electrical discharges, which in turn helps avoid technical malfunctions and the follow-up costs that can come with them. igus® also states that the electrical conductivity has been tested in its laboratory.
Available in 30 mm and 50 mm outer diameters, this roller is a strong fit for conveyor applications where electrostatic discharge can create process or equipment issues. For more general conveyor roller applications, the xiros® aluminum tube version with xirodur® B180 flange ball bearings is a natural comparison. For demanding environments with high temperatures or strong chemical exposure, the xiros® stainless steel conveyor roller with ceramic bearings is another strong alternative.
