Conveyor Components for Reliable Product Movement

Keep products moving smoothly across rollers, transfer points, sliding surfaces, and overhead conveyor systems with self-lubricating polymer components built for low maintenance, corrosion resistance, and reliable material flow. Common conveyor movement areas include:

• Roller Conveyors
• Transfer Tables
• Knife Edge Transitions
• Sliding Surfaces
• Overhead Conveyors
• Product Flow & Redirection

Find the Right Conveyor Roller Faster

The xiros® Guide Rollers Expert makes it easier to narrow down conveyor roller options for your application, from standard product transport to custom transfer points and guide roller systems. Use the tool to evaluate key requirements, including:

• Roller size
• Load and speed
• Tube material
• Bearing style
• Conveyor environment
• Product movement needs

Get a faster starting point for selecting xiros® rollers built for smooth, grease-free conveyor motion.

Speed up conveyor changeovers and keep products aligned with dry-running linear guides, actuators, gearboxes, and lead screw systems. These components help adjust guide rails, lanes, sensors, stops, and other conveyor points without grease, making them a strong fit for packaging lines, product handling systems, and automated material flow.

Common adjustment and guiding areas include:

• Format Adjustment
• Lane Adjustment
• Guide Rail Positioning
• Sensor Adjustment
• Manual Changeovers
• Automated Positioning

Application Story: Film Packaging Format Adjustment

See how drylin® linear technology supports positioning and automated format adjustment in a modular film packaging machine. The system uses drylin® SHT spindle linear axes to adjust multiple machine points for different package formats without greased metal linear systems.

Highlights include: Film roll positioning, hole punch positioning, filling station adjustment, labeler adjustment, and grease-free linear movement.

Replace greased metal components at conveyor bearing points, chain joints, buffer systems, and wear areas with self-lubricating polymer solutions built for dirt, corrosion, moisture, and continuous operation. These components help support shafts, protect moving assemblies, and reduce maintenance in conveyor and material handling systems.

Common support and protection areas include:

• Bearing Support
• Mounted Bearings
• Conveyor Chains
• Storage & Buffer Systems
• Wear Protection
• Harsh Environments
