UHMWPE Multi-Groove Glass Conveyor Roller with Dual Ceramic Ball Bearings

Precision Glass Handling. Multi-Groove Design. Dual Bearing Support.

Designed for industrial glass conveying and precision automation equipment, this custom UHMWPE roller combines a multi-groove outer profile, dual ceramic ball bearing construction, and an extended stainless steel inner ring.

The outer roller is precision-machined from UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), providing a low-friction, wear-resistant contact surface that helps reduce the risk of scratches and contact damage during glass transportation.

The integrated dual bearing structure uses zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic balls, while the stainless steel inner ring provides a rigid mounting interface for compatible shaft assemblies.

Key Features

1. Multi-Groove UHMWPE Outer Profile

The roller features multiple circumferential grooves and stepped diameters, providing a customized contact geometry for specialized glass conveying and guiding equipment.

The outer profile can be manufactured according to the mating components and equipment requirements.

2. Glass-Friendly Contact Surface

UHMWPE offers low friction, excellent abrasion resistance, and good impact resistance.

Its non-metallic contact surface helps minimize the risk of scratches and scuff marks when transporting sensitive glass panels under appropriate operating conditions.

3. Dual Ceramic Ball Bearing Construction

The integrated dual bearing configuration incorporates zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic rolling elements.

Zirconia ceramic balls provide high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for selected precision rolling applications.

The dual bearing arrangement provides two bearing support positions within the roller assembly. Actual load capacity and stability depend on the complete bearing design and operating conditions.

4. Extended Stainless Steel Inner Ring

The stainless steel inner ring features a 6 mm bore and an overall height of 31 mm.

Its extended structure provides a defined mounting interface and can help maintain clearance between the rotating roller body and adjacent installation components.

5. Precision CNC-Machined Construction

The UHMWPE outer profile is precision-machined to achieve the required groove geometry and dimensional consistency.

SUNTRON supports customized roller profiles, bearing arrangements, and material combinations according to customer drawings.

6. Designed for Industrial Glass Handling

The combination of a UHMWPE contact surface, ceramic rolling elements, and stainless steel mounting structure provides a specialized roller solution for compatible glass transportation systems.
