Application Data
Wheel conveyors are advantageous in the conveying of lightweight packages or when the system
requires lightweight components. Wheel conveyor curves are often used in a roller conveyor system
because the differential action of the wheels reduces the disorientation of the product which occurs
with a straight roller curve, i.e., the product doesn’t "turn" on the conveyor.
When the product to be conveyed is light, the low inertia of a wheel system permits gravity operation
on a lesser grade than a roller conveyor. The wheel units offer advantages of quick and easy assembly
or disassembly. Wheel sections using aluminum wheels and frames are available when extreme
lightness is required. Wooden or firm cardboard cartons with smooth, even conveying surfaces are
easily conveyed by gravity on wheel conveyor. Cans with chimes, any false bottom packages (such as
crates), damp or soggy cartons or soft-bottom cartons are not easily conveyed by wheel conveyors.
Grades
Grades required for conveying cartons will vary with the weight of the carton and the conditions of its
conveying surface. Full cases and cartons will convey satisfactorily on grades of 3" per 10'-0" section
or 3" per 90° curve. Empty cases or cartons require about 4" per 10'-0" section. Extremely light
articles, loosely tied articles, and wire bound or soft-bottom articles require steeper grades. The wheel
conveyor has been successfully used to convey bagged materials such as cement, lime, carbon, etc.
The grade required is about 6" per 10'-0" section. A steep grade adequate to start movement may
allow excessive speed to develop once the load is moving and in these cases, retarding plates
inserted in the line offer sufficient braking to slow the packages down.

Components
Frames
Frames for wheel conveyor are available in steel or aluminum construction. Steel frames are
designated "ARG" and are formed from .109" zinc plated steel. Also, the cross bracing of zinc plated
steel is bolted, using self-locking nuts. The center rails are 1/8" x 1" zinc plated steel. The axle bolts
are 1/4" diameter steel. The optional aluminum construction is designated as "ARA" and utilizes
extruded aluminum channel and the B4001-1 aluminum wheel. The center rails and cross braces are
plated steel.
Both zinc plated steel and aluminum are corrosion resistant. There are three plated steel cross braces
per 10'-0" section in 10" W and 16" W and four in the 22" W sections.
STEEL CONSTRUCTION ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION
These high quality wheels are manufactured with

precision-ground balls and hardened steel races.
They extend 3/8” above the frame. The wheels are
axles set on 3” centers. These wheels are available
with either steel shell (B4000-1), or aluminum shell
(B4001-1).

The Selection Guidelines are presented to assist you with the selection of a gravity roller conveyor to
match your requirement. You should also review other Mathews handbooks which provide related
application data: HB-822, Bearings, Wheels and Ball Transfers and HB-823, Industrial Rollers.
Product Loading
The maximum load that the conveyor will encounter (live load) is a major factor in deterining the
conveyor specifications. The conveyor loading, expressed in pounds per foot, can be obtained by any
one of the following methods:
1. Divide the total maximum load on the conveyor by the conveyor length.
Total load on conveyor ( lbs )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Conveyor Loading ( lbs ⁄ ft )
Conveyor Length ( ft )
2. When product is back to back on the conveyor, the conveyor loading is a function of product
weight and product length.
Product Weight ( lbs )
-------------------------------------------------------------- = Conveyor Loading ( lbs ⁄ ft )
Product Length ( ft )
For shock loads consider

higher capacity frame or
supports at 5’-0” centers,
instead of the standard
10’-0” centers.
Live Load 500 lbs. ÷ 10’-0” = 50 lbs./ft.

Frame Capacity 1000 lbs. ÷ 10’0” = 100 lbs./ft.
Less Conveyor Weight 200 lbs. ÷ 10’-0” = (-) 20 lbs./ft.
Maximum Live Load 80 lbs./ft.
Note: When determing conveyor loading, always consider the worst possible condition.
Many products have rigid bottoms or conveying surfaces and more often than not they are not exactly
flat. In order to compensate for this, it is advisable to figure that only 2/3 of the rollers will support the
full weight of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to take the weights of the various products being
HB-825 - 12/03 Selection Guidelines - 13

conveyed and divide by 2/3 of the rollers under the product to determine the required capacity of each
roller. Because of the variety of rollers available, see the individual specification pages.
Example: 19" long product weighing 80 lbs.

19″ Product
---------------------------------- = 6.33″ roller centers
3 Rollers
The closest standard will probably be 6". Therefore, there are three rollers under the product. 2/3 x 3 =
2 rollers supporting 80 lbs.
80 lbs. ÷ 2 rollers = 40 lbs. per roller required capacity.
If the roller you have selected does not meet the capacity requirement using the 2/3 condition, there
are alternatives available besides a larger diameter. You should consider closer roller centers, higher
capacity bearings or a heavier gauge tubing. Mathews does offer standard rollers that have the same
outside diameter but different wall thickness (gauge). A heavier gauge can withstand more abuse. For
example, a 1.90" dia. x .065" wall roller may be fine for carton handling. It would not stand up well in
handling steel drums, as they are apt to dent the thinner wall rollers. A 1.90" dia. x .148" wall roller
would probably be a better selection.
Roller Centers
When selecting a roller conveyor, the most important consideration is roller centers.
It is considered good engineering practice to have a minimum of three (3) rollers in contact with the
conveyed package at all times. To calculate this minimum, divide the dimension of the package parallel
to the direction of travel by three (3), then specify the closest standard roller center.
As an example: Assume the conveying length of the package is 24". This dimension divided by three
(3) indicates an acceptable roller center of 8". If we are considering AR or CR frames, which are
punched on 1-1/2" modules, 8" would not be a standard center. With the 1-1/2" modules, standard
centers would be either 7-1/2" or 9". In this case, we would specify 7-1/2" centers, since 9" centers
would not provide for three (3) rollers under the package.
The next consideration is load rating. Will three (3) rollers support the package weight?
Let us assume that the weight of the package is uniformly distributed and weighs 400 pounds. The
capacity of the roller being considered is 100 pounds per roller. This would mean a minimum of four (4)
rollers are required under the package at all times. Taking the 24" package length and dividing by 4
rollers yields a requirement of 6" centers.
For 6" centers to be acceptable, the following qualifications must be met:

A. The conveying surface of the package must be near perfect.
It is a rare occasion that we find a perfect conveying surface. Most packages have surfaces with
varying degrees of irregularity. Depending on the degree of these irregularities, different load
conditions will be imposed on various rollers.
Selection Guidelines - 14 HB-825 - 12/03

B. The package length must be at least

24".
In our example, if the 24" dimension is

not rigidly held, or the conveyor surface
has slightly rounded corners, we could
have the entire load imposed on three
(3) rollers.
C. The frame rail must be able to support

the load.
The published frame rail capacities

denote loads the frame rail will support
without excessive deflection.
If we have a "Perfectly Level and

Perfectly Rigid" conveying surface we
may satisfy condition "1", yet still
deflect the frame. In reality, the fact that most conveying surfaces have some "give" to them helps
us in overcoming frame rail deflection.
There is another point to be considered

when the load is equal to the full capacity of
the roller. In the example of the 400 pound
package conveyed on 6" centers, when the
package is properly distributed.
When the package is as shown in the

illustration to the right, the load is properly
distributed.
Any other position will generate excessive

loading on certain rollers.

All of the foregoing assumes a package of

uniform loading. If we have a package that
is not uniform, we must study the condition
of eccentric loading to properly define roller
spacing.
If the adjoining sections of the conveyor are

not adjusted to precise elevations, a
condition that imposes excessive loads on
certain rollers could be created.
Impact loading is also a consideration. A

400 pound package dropped onto the
conveyor would be equivalent to a load
greatly in excess of the 400 pounds.
Conclusions
1. An absolute minimum of three (3) rollers should be under a package at all times.
2. If three (3) rollers will not provide sufficient capacity to support the load, specify closer centers or a
higher capacity roller. It is better to specify rollers with greater capacity.
3. Every conveyor application is unique to some degree. Be sure you have a thorough understanding
of the product and the application before specifying centers.
Example Roller Spacing:
Load Length 24″
------------------------------------- = Roller Spacing --------- = 8″ Roller Centers
3 3

Use caution in selecting roller centers when the unit being conveyed does not have a solid bottom
surface in contact with the rollers.

Gravity Grades
Considerations
For gravity to generate movement of a package, the
force of gravity must be sufficient to overcome the
resistance of the rollers or wheels involved.
The force of gravity on a perfectly horizontal

conveyor is exerted perpendicular to the conveying
face. The direction of this force is vertical. (See
Figure to the left).
As the conveyor is inclined, the gravitational force

continues to be exerted in a vertical direction.
However it is no longer perpendicular to the face of
the conveyor. (See Figure to the left).
This force can now be broken down in to two vector

forces, one perpendicular and one parallel to the
face of the conveyor. As the degree of incline
increases, the magnitude of the perpendicular force
decreases, while the magnitude of the parallel force
increases. (See Figure to the left).
When the conveyor is declined sufficiently so that

the parallel force of the conveyor is sufficient to
overcome the resistance of the rollers at rest, the
package will start moving.
The degree of decline required for a gravity system

to operate may vary under different conditions. If
the package being conveyed has a "firm" conveying
surface, less grade will be required than if the
package has a "soft" surface. (See Figure to the
left)
The degree of decline will be affected by roller and

bearing construction. Non-precision bearings
require less grade than precision bearings. The
internal clearances and tolerances of precision
bearings increase the force required to make them rotate. Grease packed or regreasable bearings are
normally not used for graded applications.
The heavier the product, the less grade is required. Brakes or other speed control devices may have to
be used for long runs of very heavy products.

Roller weight will influence the grade. It takes more force to start heavier rollers, but once they are
turning they will continue to rotate for a longer period of time. If two rollers with different diameters
have equal weight, the larger diameter roller will require less grade.
If packages must start from rest after a lengthy dwell time, such as overnight, additional grade may be
required to compensate for carton indentation.
Controlled Gravity
A grade sufficient to start a line flowing from a standing start will frequently cause excessive speed in
subsequent packages. This is particularly true for long runs. After the first package has begun to move,
the rollers over which it has passed are now in some state of rotation. A second package passing over
these rollers will benefit from this rotation and would travel faster than the first package. This process
could continue until a "train" of packages has been created traveling much faster than the grade was
planned for.
Some control can be made by inserting retarding plates or "roller brakes". If these are used, any
product that stops on them may not restart without assistance.
Another way to control speed would be to insert a short section of BDLR into the gravity line. This
would tend to "pace" the speed of the line to the speed of the live roller unit. On long runs, multiple
inserts of BDLR may be required so that the unchecked speed and weight of the product does not
cause it to skid or slide over the controlled rollers. This type of speed control is not recommended for
products weighing over 50 lbs.
Another point to be considered is the effect a distributed load will have on the grade. If we consider
one package on a conveyor, and determine a grade sufficient to generate movement of the product,
this same grade may not be sufficient to move a train of products from a standing start. Depending on
the frame rail of the conveyor and the spacing of supports, this grade may have to be increased. The
deflection of the frame rail under multiple package loads might crease "dead spots" in the system. See
illustration below.
It is for this reason that in this catalog we provide you with two capacities, level storage and gravity
flow. The capacity for gravity flow is always less, to minimize the occurrence of “dead spots.”

Proper Grade
The proper grade of a gravity conveyor should be determined by actual field test of the conveyor, using
the product that is to be conveyed. Approximate grades can be recommended, but finite grades for a
given set of conditions should be resolved in the field at the time of installation. Our standard supports,
properly specified, provide sufficient range to enable this adjustment to be made.
To assist you in the selection process, the following chart shows the results of tests conducted at our
factory. The tests were made using two different conveyors:
1. 10'-0" long section of 2CR-B1020-1 - 1.90" dia. x .065" (16 ga.) steel - 3" roller centers - 27"
Between Frames.
2. 10'-0" long section of 2H-B1060-1 - 2.50" dia. x .120" (11 ga.) steel - 4" roller centers - 39"
Between Frames.
We tested the slope required to keep a product moving as well as the slope required to start a product
from rest. Please remember that these tests should be used as a guide only.

Conveyor Width
The next consideration for specifying roller conveyor is conveyor width. The width required should be
specified in terms of between conveyor frame dimension (W).
1. First determine if the conveyor will require guard rail or product will overhang the conveyor.
2. Next select the W width required to convey product around curves. Refer to the Curve Selection
Charts below. The W for straight sections should match the W of the curve.
3. Use this W to order conveyor sections, components and accessories.
4. Our standard widths are in 3" increments. Conveyors with formed channels have a minimum W of
6". Structural channel conveyors have a minimum W of 9".

ROLLERS SET HIGH
Can handle loads wider than conveyor width.
Maximum load width = W x 1.25
When guard rails are installed, allow extra width

for curves to avoid friction from guard rail.
When guard rails are installed on the conveyor

frame allow a minimum 1” clearance on each
side between product and guard rail.

Gravity Curves
Curve Types
1. Wheel
A wheel curve is an excellent means of turning a package, but use is limited to situations where
the between frame (W) dimension of the conveyor is 10", 16" or 22".
2. Rail Construction With Straight Faced Rollers
Straight faced roller curves are usually the most economical. As a general rule they are used when
the W of the system does not exceed 51", and where precise package control is not critical. Where
the W is in excess of 51", a 3-Rail curve should be considered.
3. 2-Rail Construction With Tapered Rollers
Tapered rollers are the best means of turning a package and delivering it properly oriented.
The tapered roller is made on a die. The radius of the inside rail is designed so that the taper of the
rollers in the curve will meet at a focal point. To make this construction economically practical, we
try to obtain maximum use of one (1) set of dies. As a result, we use the same degree of taper for
several lengths of rollers, leaving longer rollers with a partial straight face. Normally, this does not
have an adverse effect on the curve. If packages on a curve are traveling side by side, this
construction may not be acceptable.
4. 3-Rail Construction With Straight Faced Rollers
The 3-Rail curve, comprised of two (2) lanes of rollers, will provide a differential action enabling the
package to turn on the rollers with less drag than on an equivalent 2-Rail curve. In addition, having
two (2) sets of rollers with shorter axle length, increases the capacity of the curve.
3-Rail curves can be ordered with specially designed roller patterns to provide more rollers in the
outside lane. As a result, the roller gap of the curve is held to a minimum.
Curve Design Considerations
1. Package Characteristics
There are several package characteristics which will effect how the package is conveyed through
a curve. These include size, shape, weight, product uniformity and conveying surface of the
package.
2. Product Width
Many times curves in a system will dictate the width of the conveyor for the entire system, in that
the product may require additional space to negotiate the turn. This "additional space" depends
upon the width and length of the product. The charts shown on pages 9 and 10 show the conveyor
widths required to convey product around a curve.

The conveyor widths listed are based on our standard radii for the various standard Between
Frame dimension curves. These charts are also based on the formula shown below. You should
also keep in mind the basic principle that the inside radius should be greater than the length of the
product.
Formula for determining distance Between Frames or Guard Rails:
G = ( Radius + Package ) 2 +  PackageLength 2 – ( Radius – 2 )

 2 
3. Product Length
For curves, the roller centers on the inside rail are closer together than they are on the outside rail.
In our standard construction, the wider the conveyor, the more rollers are required in the curve to
keep the roller centers to a minimum. You must keep this "fanning" effect in mind when choosing
curves.
Due to the variations available, the roller spacing at various points on the curves are shown on the
individual specification pages.
4. Product Weight
It was stated earlier that the product weight determines roller selection, roller spacing and frame
selection for straight sections. The same holds true for curves. The rollers and frames you select
for the curve section should be compatible with the straight sections. Roller capacity should be
checked in the same manner as you did for straight sections.
The abuse factor also holds true for curves. You will note that tapered rollers are either 16 ga. or
18 ga., depending on roller size. The straight faced roller curves and 3 rail curves are available in
the same assortment of diameters and wall thickness as sections.
Supports are required at both ends of a curve, as well as at the midpoint if the curve is over 45
degrees. Full width supports and single leg supports are available.
5. Speed Of The Package
Package speed should also be considered. The speed of the line could be so great that the
package would be thrown from the conveyor as it enters the curve.

6. Type Of Construction Of The Curve
The construction of the curve will have an influence, as previously discussed.
7. Relative Grades Of The Curve As Compared To The Feed And Discharge Sections
If there is a difference in grade between the feed and the curve, the package will be affected. The
package will not be influenced by the curve until its center of gravity passes the transition point
between the curve and the adjoining section.
8. Package Positioning
If packages approach the curve "in train," a curve will not be able to turn the package properly.
There must be package separation for the curve to properly function.
If a curve discharges a package within 5 degrees of the relative position with which it was
received, it is considered that the curve is effective. Precise package orientation can not be
guaranteed.
Any package negotiating a curve must undergo some physical twisting on the wheels and rollers to
result in a turned package. As a result, a gravity curve should never be joined on a belt conveyor.
The high friction between the belt and the package will not allow the package to be immediately
influenced, thus preventing the required twisting. If a curve is to join a belt conveyor, there should
be a length of wheel or roller conveyor, at least as long as the longest package, ahead of the
curve. It is acceptable to directly join a curve to gravity or live roller conveyor.

Frame Selection
In order to simplify selection, this brochure contains roller and frame combinations that have been
selected to offer compatibility in size and capacity. Having determined the roller size, you will find that
roller in a specific frame. You will need to confirm that this frame has the required capacity. You need to
determine the total load on the conveyor at the worst loading condition. Add to that the weight of the
conveyor section, and check the frame capacity chart on each page. A composite of the frame
capacities and the formulas used to calculate the capacities are also shown in the Calculating Frame
Capacities section, page 35. The weight of the frame plus the rollers must be deducted from the rated
capacity of the frames to determine the load the conveyor will carry. You will note that the capacities for
the frames are based on support centers, either on 5'-0" or 10'-0". In some instances, it may be more
economical to stay with a smaller rail and increase the number of supports to achieve the desired
capacity.
Mathews standard non-powered conveyors include a frame which we have pre-selected. Our selection
is based upon compatibility in size and capacity of rollers and frames. If you require a non-standard
combination of frame and rollers, the following guidelines should be considered when selecting a
frame.
Frame Types
There are many types of frames available. The most common are roll formed channels, structural
channels, structural angles and flat stock. Usually the conveyor frames are the same on both sides
and are connected with a welded cross brace. The cross brace is usually an angle. The illustrations
below show some of the more common frame and cross brace configurations.
Cross Brace Requirements
The chart on the next page provides a guide for choosing a cross brace for all Mathews frame types.
Between Frame width (W) is a major determining factor in the cross brace selected, as the chart
indicates.

CAUTION: A layout drawing should be made when rollers are unusually low, close centers are required,
flanged rollers are used, or any combination of these conditions exist. This drawing is needed to
insure that there is a minimum of 1/4” clearance between roller and cross brace.
Angle Frames
Angle frames are available with the
horizontal toe either turned in or out. The
most common reason for toes in is to
conserve space. Angles with toes turned
out may be required to accept a device
being placed between the frames such as a
stop or a transfer device. The basic two rail
configurations are shown in the illustration
to the left.
Angle frames come in a variety of thickness for the same size angle, i.e. 2" x 2" x 1/4" vs. 2" x 2" x 3/
16". By far, angle frames are thicker than channel frames and may therefore be more suitable to shock
loading where the axle tries to elongate the axle hole.
If drop-in construction is required, it is easier to notch out the top of an angle rather than the top flange
of a channel. To reduce the elongation of axle holes due to shock loading, it is easier to attach "wear
bars" to the outside of the angle with toes in since there are no top or bottom flanges to contend with
like there are with channels. These wear bars give the axle additional surface area against which to
rest, greatly reducing axle hole elongation.

Channel Frames
Channel frames do offer some advantages
over angle frames. Channels are more rigid
and stronger than angles that are of equal
height. There is a larger variety of couplings
available with channel frames than with
angle frames. It is easier to attach
accessories to a channel frame. The basic
channel configurations are shown in the
illustration to the left.
Roller Position - High or Low

Non-powered roller conveyor comes in one of two configurations for roller position relative to the frame
rail, rollers high or rollers low.
Rollers High - In this configuration, the carrying surface of the roller is above the top edge of the frame
rail. This configuration would allow the product to over hang the rollers, if necessary, but would require
guard rails if the product had to be contained. Rollers high is available in both angle and channel
frames.
Rollers Low - In this configuration, the carrying surface is below the top edge of the frame rail. The
frames themselves act as guard rails. However, wider products cannot be accommodated and the
conveyor therefore may not be as adaptable for future applications. Rollers low is available in both
angle and channel frames.

Frame Rail Variations

Earlier, it was stated that with gravity roller
conveyor usually the conveyor frames are
the same on both sides of the conveyor and
this is indeed true. There are occasions
where it may be more economical to use a
combination of different size channels or
even channels and angles. These are
usually located in areas requiring large
heavy products such as pallets or heavy
molds.
In this application, the larger outside rails act as a guard rail.
Another variation is what is called three rail construction. Although three rail construction is most
commonly used in a curve, it is also used in straight sections to provide additional rollers under the
product for better conveyablility and greater capacity.
The following three charts provide dimensional specifications for Mathews angle and channel frames.

Frame Rail Punching

Frames are available as structural members or roll formed members. Roll formed channels start out at
our plant as flat coil stock and are fed through a series of rolls that form it into a channel. This channel
continues through a series of machines that punch holes in the web and flanges and is finally sheared
off in standard 10'-0" lengths. As a result, roll formed channels such as AR, CR, PR, and QR have a
set pattern for axle holes and flange punching. The hex axle punching is on 1-1/2" centers, the bottom
flange punching is on 1-1/2" centers and the top flange punching is a 12" repeating pattern.
The multiple punching for AR, CR, PR, and QR rails serves several purposes.
1. Versatility for future applications. If the initial application requires roller centers of
6" and a later application requires 3" or 4-1/2" centers, the same equipment
could be reused by adding additional rollers in the available pre-punched axle
holes.
2. Allows for placement of supports and accessories anywhere along the underside
for the conveyor.
3. Allows for attachment of guards anywhere along the top side of the conveyor without interfering
with the roller axles.

The above values take into consideration the reduction in capacity of frame rails caused by standard
web and flange punching. They are based on a uniformly distributed load between supports with the
load equally shared by both rails.
There are two methods generally used to calculate the capacity of two rail frames: deflection and
stress. The frame capacity is normally limited by the allowable working stress unless the deflection
affects product conveyablility. The stress method is used for level lines and the lowest of the stress
method and deflection method capacities is used for the graded lines.
Maximum Allowable Deflection = ∆

∆ = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore the maximum allowable deflection for frames with supports on 5'-0" centers is .167". The
maximum allowable deflection for frames with supports on 10'-0" centers is .333"

In order to simplify frame selection, standard roller and frame combinations are available that offer
compatibility in size and capacity. Having determined the roller size and spacing, check the capacity of
the standard frame rail that is offered with that roller. You need to add the total load on the conveyor at
the worst loading condition (live load) plus the weight of the rollers and frames and compare that with
the frame capacity. Since the standard length of most conveyor sections is 10'-0", the capacities are
given for that length so supports can be placed at the section splice or joint whenever possible. If
additional capacity is required, it may be necessary to provide supports on 5'-0" centers.
A comparison should be made to see if it is more economical to select a larger and stronger frame and
support it on 10'-0" centers or select a smaller frame with less capacity and put the supports on 5'-0"
centers. If your choice is more supports, don’t forget the increase in installation costs for those
supports, i.e. drilling anchor holes, adjusting the height, attaching to the conveyor section, etc.
In reviewing the frame capacities in this catalog you will see that there are capacities listed for supports
on 10'-0" centers and 5'-0" centers. There are also different capacities for level conveyors and graded
conveyors.
1. Normally the limiting factor for frame capacity for graded gravity lines is deflection or sagging of
the frame. The support centers are important because the farther apart the supports, the greater
the sag for the same load. Therefore, the capacities for 5'-0" centers are always greater then for
10'-0" centers.
2. The reason the capacities for level conveyors are greater than for graded conveyors is that for a
level line the only way the product will move is if it is being pushed. Therefore, if physical force is
required, a greater sag in the frames can be tolerated. For graded conveyor, we are depending on
the force of gravity to move product forward on a decline unit. If a graded conveyor was loaded to
the same capacity as a level unit, the sag may be so great that at certain points along the con-
veyor, a stopped carton would not be able to restart by its own weight.
The method of loading may be a factor in determining frame rail size. Generally, the conveyor loading
point will require more frame capacity because of possible impact or abuse from the loading
mechanisms such as fork trucks.

Couplings
There are several methods of attaching one conveyor section to another. Due to design criteria, all
types of couplings are not available on all sizes and styles of roller conveyor. Mathews has pre-
selected couplings for all units and optional couplings are also identified.
Plain End - PE
There are several styles of gravity roller conveyor where no couplings are available. This normally
occurs on small diameter roller conveyor, having rollers on close centers and in the low position. In
these instances, the axle is located in the area where a coupling would normally be attached.
Therefore, on sections with no couplings you would require two (2) tripod supports per conveyor
section for temporary installations.
For permanent installations, the top gusset of the support would couple the sections together.
Universal - U
The universal coupling is designed so that whichever end is presented to the adjoining section, the unit
can be joined. This is especially important when curves are involved. This saves time and money when
setting up temporary installations. In addition, the universal coupling offers a more rigid connection
than the hook and rod type. By the insertion of a second bolt, a locked joint is provided for permanent
installations.
Universal couplings are to be used only when rollers or wheels are above the frame rails. Actual frame
rail length is 2" less than the nominal section length. The minimum roller or wheel centers are 3".
Female couplings are on the right hand rail when facing the end of the section.
ROLLER WHEEL
CONVEYOR CONVEYOR

Hook and Rod - HR

Hook and rod couplings are available on light duty portable roller conveyor, normally used in temporary
installations. These couplings are available when adding to an existing installation which already has a
hook and rod type coupling. The slot in the hook allows angling the section 3" to 6" per 10’-0" section.
ROD TYPE COUPLING HOOK TYPE COUPLING

Welded Butt - B
This coupling is a plate that is welded into a channel frame at the end of the section. This type is very
popular in that it provides a strong joint and allows the installer to draw the two sections together. The
support can be placed at the joint or near to it. There are no bolt heads to act as catch points to the
product being conveyed.

Bolted Butt - BB
This is a channel shaped coupling that provides a butt joint but is bolted in place instead of being
welded. This coupling is normally used where field modifications to conveyor lengths are necessary
and yet a butt type coupling is specified.
2 Strap - 2S
This coupling is used in medium duty roller conveyor. It consists of 2 "straps" of steel, one on each rail.
Normally, the 2 strap coupling is used in conjunction with a support and the strap is placed under the
top flange, one on each side of the conveyor. If the strap was placed on the top of the top flange, it
would interfere with the placement of angle guard rails or it might cause product to catch. The
thickness of the strap plus the height of the bolt head could be greater than the dimension from the top
of the flange to the top of the roller.
4 Strap - 4S
This coupling is the same as the two strap except there are four pieces instead of two. This type could
be used at a joint where a support would be close, but not right at the joint. These straps, two on each
side of the conveyor, would be placed under the top flange and on top of the bottom flange.
Heavy Strap
The heavy strap coupling is used with angle frames. It is bolted to the side rail rather than a top or
bottom flange.

Support Selection
When selecting the supports, be sure to include the weight of the frame plus rollers, along with the live
load to determine the required capacity of the supports. Note that the nominal height is to the bottom of
the conveyor frame rail. Care must be exercised in selecting supports to meet the proper elevation.
Accessories
A successful non-powered conveyor system frequently depends upon the proper accessories. Various
accessories, such as spur sections, hinged gate sections, switch sections, transfer cars, turntables,
and ball transfer tables are available. All help to increase the versatility of a roller system. However, it
should be remembered that some of the above accessories may require manual assistance to move
material to and from the conveyor.
