Roller element without guide

Roller element without guide 80 × 40 mm is a compact transport module designed for building modular roller tracks, feed surfaces and simple gravity transport systems. The element is mounted directly in the slot of structural aluminium profiles in series 30, 40 and 45, allowing roller tracks to be created according to the length, width and layout of a given structure.

The module is equipped with three transport rollers made of POM, which form moving support points and facilitate the smooth movement of boxes, containers, panels and various technical components. The body made of glass-fibre-reinforced PA6 provides suitable rigidity and stable seating on the aluminium profile.

The version without an integrated guide is suitable for applications where a flat, unobstructed transport surface is required or where the direction of movement is determined by separate side guides. The elements can be arranged individually, in a single row or in several parallel rows, creating a roller surface adapted to the width of the transported object.

Key product features:

• three POM transport rollers – facilitate the smooth movement of transported objects and reduce the friction contact area,
• glass-fibre-reinforced PA6 body – provides rigid and stable support for the rollers,
• maximum load of 150 N per element – allows roller systems to be built with a load capacity adjusted through the appropriate selection of the number and spacing of modules,
• compact dimensions of 80 × 40 × 20 mm – allow the elements to be arranged even on small structures and workstations,
• version without a side guide – allows wide transport surfaces to be built or separate guides adapted to the dimensions of the load to be used,
• two recessed mounting holes – allow ISO 10642 M4 countersunk-head screws to be used without restricting the operation of the rollers,
• compatibility with series 30, 40 and 45 profiles – one element can be used in several ALUX Profile construction systems,
• modular construction – facilitates expansion, adjustment of the spacing and adaptation of the roller track to the changing requirements of the workstation.

Applications:

The roller element without guide can be used as part of both simple and extensive internal transport systems. The appropriate number of modules allows the width of the roller surface to be adapted to the dimensions of the product being moved.

• gravity roller tracks for feeding and receiving parts,
• flow racks and FIFO storage systems,
• assembly, packaging and order-picking stations,
• feed and receiving surfaces next to machines and workbenches,
• transport systems for boxes, containers, panels and technical components,
• material trolleys and mobile transport frames,
• prototype industrial, workshop and DIY structures.

Installation method:

The roller element should be positioned on the selected face of the profile and its two mounting holes should then be aligned with the profile slot. The ISO 10642 screws should be inserted through the recessed holes in the body and screwed into the appropriate T-slot nuts placed beforehand in the profile slot.

To install one roller element, use:

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

The countersunk-head screws fit into the recesses in the body, preventing the mounting from interfering with the transported object or the operation of the rollers. Subsequent modules should be arranged in the same direction and with spacing adapted 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.
