Roller element with guide

The roller element with guide 80 × 40 mm is a compact module designed for building modular roller tracks, feed surfaces and simple gravity transport systems. The integrated side guide helps limit the movement of transported items beyond the edge of the track, allowing boxes, containers, panels and technical components to be moved in a controlled manner.

The element is equipped with three transport rollers made of POM with a diameter of 16 mm. The rollers form moving support points, facilitating the smooth movement of the load across the prepared transport surface. The body made of glass-fibre-reinforced PA6 ensures stable seating of the rollers and suitable rigidity of the entire module.

The integrated guide runs along one edge of the element and forms a side restraint for the item being moved. Rotating the module allows the guide to be positioned on the selected side of the track. On wider transport surfaces, elements with guides can be installed in the outer rows, while roller elements without guides can be used between them.

The element is designed for direct installation in the slot of structural aluminium profiles in series 30, 40 and 45. The modular mounting method allows any number of elements to be arranged and the length, width and spacing of the track to be adapted to the dimensions of the transported load.

Key product features:

• integrated side guide – helps limit the lateral movement of the load and keep it within the prepared track,
• three POM transport rollers – allow boxes, containers, panels and technical components to be moved smoothly,
• roller diameter of 16 mm – provides a compact transport surface suitable for light feed systems,
• glass-fibre-reinforced PA6 body – forms rigid and stable support for the rollers and guide,
• maximum load of 150 N per element – allows the load capacity of the track to be adapted by selecting the appropriate number and spacing of modules,
• overall dimensions of 80 × 40 × 30 mm – allow compact roller tracks and roller surfaces to be constructed,
• two mounting holes with recesses for the screw heads – allow stable mounting with ISO 10642 M4 countersunk-head screws,
• compatibility with series 30, 40 and 45 profiles – allows one type of element to be used in several ALUX Profile construction systems,
• modular construction – facilitates track expansion, repositioning of the elements and adjustment of their spacing to the transported product.

Applications:

The roller element with guide can be used as an outer module of a transport surface or as part of a track equipped with a continuous side guide. The appropriate arrangement of the elements helps control the direction of movement of the load and limits it from sliding beyond the edge of the structure.

• guided roller tracks and gravity conveyors,
• flow racks and FIFO storage systems,
• assembly, packaging and order-picking stations,
• feed and receiving surfaces next to machines,
• transport of boxes, containers, panels and technical components,
• workbenches and lean production workstations,
• material trolleys and mobile transport frames,
• light industrial, warehouse, workshop and DIY structures.

Installation method:

The roller element should be positioned on the selected surface of the aluminium profile, with the integrated guide directed towards the outer edge of the track. The two mounting holes should then be aligned with the profile slot, the ISO 10642 M4 screws inserted through the body and screwed into the appropriate T-slot nuts positioned in the profile slot.

To install one roller element, use:

• series 30 aluminium profiles: 2× ISO 10642 M4×25 screw + 2× 8-4-M4.30 T-slot nut,
• series 40 aluminium profiles: 2× ISO 10642 M4×25 screw + 2× 8-4-M4.40 T-slot nut,
• series 45 aluminium profiles: 2× ISO 10642 M4×30 screw + 2× 10-4-M4.45 T-slot nut.

The countersunk-head screws fit into the 8 mm diameter recesses made in the body of the element. As a result, the screw heads do not protrude above the mounting surface and do not restrict the operation of the rollers or the movement of the transported item.

Subsequent modules should be positioned in the same direction, maintaining spacing appropriate to the length, width, weight and rigidity of the transported load. The load should be distributed as evenly as possible between the individual roller elements.
