  • Publication number: 20100230250
    Abstract: A conveying system has a roller and a shaft-hub assembly with a kingpin (81), an expansion element (83) and a hub (82). The kingpin has a cross-section corresponding to a cross-section of the hub so that the kingpin is fixed radially to the hub. The kingpin (81) is fixed rotationally to the hub (82). The expansion element in a relaxed state, has an external diameter that exceeds the internal diameter of the hub. The expansion element also is deformed elastically when the kingpin is disposed in the hub so that the external peripheral region (831) of the expansion element shifts from the relaxed position. Axial displacement of the external peripheral region of the expansion element is coupled with a reduction in the external diameter so that the reduced external diameter of the expansion element corresponds to the internal diameter of the corresponding internal peripheral region of the hub.

  • Publication number: 20090101466
    Abstract: A conveying roll has a cover (20) mounted on a bearing point (40) so that the conveying roll can be twisted relative to the bearing point (40) about an axis of rotation. A brake (50) is provided kinematically between the bearing point (40) and the cover (20) and is designed so the difficulty of twisting the cover relative to the bearing point about the axis of rotation varies in accordance with relative rotational speed between the cover (20) and the bearing point (40). An impeding device (60) is disposed between the bearing point (40) and the cover (20) at a point in the braking train of the brake and allows or prevents the brake to have or from having a braking effect in accordance with a direction of rotation of the cover relative to the bearing point (40).

  • Patent number: 6419070
    Abstract: A conveyor roller includes a generally cylindrical roller tube and a pair of stub shafts rotatably mounted in each end thereof. At least one of the stub shafts is mounted for axial movement between an extended position and a retracted position. When in the extended position, the stub shafts on each end of the conveyor engage respective mounting holes in the conveyor frame. To insert the conveyor roller in the conveyor frame, the movable stub shaft is moved to a retracted position while the roller is lowered into the conveyor frame. When the stub shaft aligns with the mounting holes in the conveyor frame, the stub shaft is urged back to the extended position by a biasing member to engage the mounting hole in the conveyor frame.
