  • Patent number: 10926959
    Abstract: A motor-driven conveying roller for conveying installations for conveying containers, pallets and the like, having a roller body, of which the outer circumferential surface constitutes a bearing surface for articles, having a drive unit, which is arranged within an interior of the roller body, and having a coupling unit, which is designed to transmit a torque from the drive unit to an inner circumferential surface of the interior of the roller body and has a coupling bushing, which has a drive portion, connected to the drive unit, and an outer peripheral output portion, wherein the coupling bushing is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the roller body in a frictionally fitting and/or integral manner, for torque-transmitting purposes, only at certain points.

  • Patent number: 9663302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor roller for conveyor systems for the purpose of conveying containers, pallets and the like, comprising a roller body with a roller axis, the outer peripheral area of which represents a bearing surface for material to be conveyed, and a head element that is inserted with an insertion section into a hollow end of the roller body. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a conveyor roller. In the case of the conveyor roller according to the invention, a holding element is arranged at the insertion section, which holding element has at least one point on the outer circumference thereof, the distance of which in a radial direction from the roller axis is greater than a distance between the roller axis and a point on an inner circumference of the hollow end of the roller body in the same radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8789686
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motor-operated conveyer roller for conveyor systems, having a roller body, a drive device arranged inside an interior space of the roller body, and a coupling device designed to transmit a torque from the drive device to an inner peripheral surface of the interior space of the roller body, wherein said coupling device has a clamping bushing, a clamping ring which can move axially with respect to the clamping bushing, a fastener element for the purpose of holding a clamping ring in a tensioned position against the clamping bushing, and a thrust collar which is fixed between a contact surface of the clamping bushing and a contact surface of the clamping ring in the tensioned position, wherein the thrust collar is frictionally connected via its outer periphery to the inner peripheral surface of the interior space of the roller body in the tensioned position.

  • Patent number: 8695788
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor system (1) designed as a belt conveyor system and comprising a conveyor belt (5) that loops around the conveyor roller (2) at least partially, wherein the conveyor roller (2) is mounted on at least one side via a bearing pot (6) having, at least over a loop region of the conveyor belt (5) a radius substantially equal to or somewhat smaller than the radius of the conveyor roller (2) in the axial end region of the conveyor roller (2), wherein the conveyor belt (5) is wider than the length of the conveyor roller (2) in the axial direction and wherein the conveyor belt (5) is disposed on the conveyor roller (2) such that the gap (7) between the conveyor roller (2) and the bearing pot (6) is covered by the conveyor belt (5).

  • Patent number: 8528727
    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.
