When it comes to upgrading your conveyor system, polyurethane (PU) rollers are an excellent choice. They offer outstanding abrasion resistance, silent operation, and long service life. But with so many specifications available—load capacity, hardness, speed, dimensions, bearings, temperature resistance—how do you choose the right polyurethane conveyor rollers?
Let’s break it down.
Why Polyurethane Conveyor Rollers?
● ✅ Excellent wear and cut resistance
● ✅ Low noise & vibration
● ✅ Non-marking surface
● ✅ Compatibility with a wide temperature range
● ✅ Better load-bearing elasticity
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing polyurethane Conveyor Rollers

What It Means | GCS Expert Tips |
| Load Capacity (kg) | The weight the roller must support during operation. | Provide load per roller and product contact area. |
| PU Hardness (Shore A) | Affects cushioning and noise level. | Choose 70A for quiet/light loads, 80A for general use, 90–95A for heavy-duty. |
| Speed (m/s) | Impact roller balance and material wear | Let us know your line speed. We test dynamic balance before shipment. |
| Working Temperature (°C) | Important in high-heat or freezer environments. | Standard PU: -20°C to +80°C. High-temp versions available. |
| Roller Dimensions | Includes diameters, length, and wall thickness | Share your conveyor layout or drawing for accurate matching. |
| Bearing Type | Affects load, speed, and waterproofing | Options: deep groove, waterproof, low-noise sealed bearings |
PU Hardness vs Application Guide
| Shore A Hardness | Feature | Best For |
| 70A (Soft) | Quiet, high cushioning | Light items, noise-sensitive areas |
| 80A (Medium) | Balanced performance | General material handling lines |
| 90-95A (Hard) | High wear resistance, less flex | Heavy-duty load, automated system |
