PU Conveyor Rollers – Polyurethane Coated Solutions

PU conveyor rollers, constructed by encasing steel rollers in polyurethane, are highly favoured for their high load-bearing capacity, chemical resistance, and quiet operation.

As a specialized conveyor roller, polyurethane conveyor rollers (also known as PU coated rollers) have unique applications for seamless integration across industries. They are suitable for conveyor systems handling heavy materials, offering high load capacity, smooth operation, and customizable options to meet various industrial needs, especially as reliable light-duty rollers for diverse scenarios.

Let’s explore their core value and how GCS’s solutions can benefit your business.

Key Benefits of PU Rollers

• Superior wear & cut resistance for extended service life and reduced replacement costs
• Ultra-quiet operation with low vibration to minimize factory noise pollution
• Non-marking surface + exceptional impact protection to prevent product damage during conveying
• Wide temperature range compatibility for stable performance across diverse working environments
• High load capacity & excellent load-bearing elasticity to support heavy material handling with smooth operation
• Customizable options + efficient power transmission to meet the unique needs of various industrial systems

PU Rollers vs Rubber Rollers

• Service Life: PU rollers have superior wear resistance, lasting 2-3 times longer than rubber rollers in most industrial environments.
• Noise Level: PU rollers operate at <45dB, while rubber rollers typically produce 10-15dB more noise.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Although PU rollers have a higher initial cost, their long service life and low replacement frequency result in lower overall costs.
• Load Capacity: PU rollers offer higher load-bearing elasticity, making them more suitable for heavy material handling compared to rubber rollers.

Anti-static PU Rollers for Electronics

Anti-static PU rollers are specially designed for electronic assembly lines and ESD-sensitive environments. With a surface resistance of 10⁶-10⁹ Ω, they effectively dissipate static electricity to protect sensitive electronic components.

Frequently Asked Questions – GCS Light-Duty PU Rollers

1. What is the load capacity of GCS light-duty PU rollers?

GCS light-duty PU rollers support 5-20 kg per roller depending on diameter: ⌀25mm handles 5-8kg, ⌀38mm handles 8-12kg, and ⌀50mm handles 12-20kg. For stable transport, ensure your workpiece contacts at least three rollers simultaneously.

2. What is the minimum roller spacing for light-duty applications?

For ⌀25mm rollers, use 37.5mm pitch. For ⌀38mm rollers, use 57mm pitch. For ⌀50mm rollers, use 75mm pitch. This ensures 3-roller contact for items as small as 113mm in length.

3. Is anti-static PU coating available for electronic applications?

Yes. GCS offers anti-static PU rollers with surface resistance of 10⁶-10⁹ Ω. These are ideal for electronic assembly lines and ESD-sensitive environments. Specify “ESD” when requesting a quote.
