High-Quality Idlers available in the TORWEGGE Shop
Idlers are essential components in roller conveyors and conveyor belt systems, facilitating the mass transport of goods. Powered by gravity, they move items across conveyor systems efficiently. Minimizing the loss of kinetic energy during transport is crucial to ensuring smooth operation.
To guarantee seamless processes, it's important to invest in idlers equipped with high-quality bearings for your conveyor systems. Our selection includes a wide range of premium ball rollers and roller tracks designed to ensure the smooth operation of your internal processes. We offer a variety of gravity and powered idlers, all composed of a tube, axle, bearing, and bearing base. Powered idlers are additionally equipped with a drive element. Each component influences factors such as load capacity, running smoothness, and precision. The best idler for your needs depends on the characteristics of the goods being conveyed.

Selection Criteria for Idlers
Choosing the right Idlers for your application is essential to ensure smooth and efficient goods transport. High-quality workmanship is a key factor in achieving flawless roller dynamics and should be a primary consideration when purchasing rollers. Additionally, the characteristics of the goods being transported determine the requirements for roller diameter, load capacity, and material.
Steel rollers with appropriate dimensions have proven to be highly reliable in industrial applications, supporting a maximum load capacity of up to 1,000 kilograms per roller. This makes them suitable for transporting both light and heavy goods of various sizes. For very lightweight items, rollers with a plastic coating are recommended to prevent damage.
The working environment also plays a crucial role, as it influences the choice of materials based on factors such as chemical exposure, temperature variations, and moisture. You can find the ideal material for your needs in our online shop.
When determining the number of Idlers, a simple rule of thumb applies: ensure that at least three rollers support the transported goods at any given point on the conveyor. For soft-bottomed goods, a smaller distance between rollers is optimal to minimize startup resistance. For heavier goods, a greater roller spacing ensures the perfect balance of momentum and smooth transport.
Comprehensive Range of Idlers at TORWEGGE
The TORWEGGE online shop offers a wide selection of Idlers, including standard and gravity rollers. Our powered Idlers are equipped with a sprocket for chain drive operation, ensuring particularly quiet running and gentle handling of materials. You will also find suitable drum motors in our shop. These motors consist of a motor, bearings, and a gearbox housed in a hermetically sealed casing filled with oil. The oil functions as both a lubricant and coolant, dissipating heat through the casing and the conveyor system. Additionally, we offer a variety of housing options and accessories to complement your conveyor systems.
If you’re looking for rollers to regulate the speed of goods on a gravity Idlers, our braking rollers are the perfect solution. These rollers ensure consistent conveyor speeds, promoting efficient and controlled transport of your loads.
Components of Idlers from TORWEGGE
To ensure smooth and effortless rotation, TORWEGGE Idlers are equipped with high-quality bearings made of steel or plastic. Different types of bearings are available for various conveyor roller applications. Conveyor rollers with ball bearings are a type of rolling bearing, distinguished by their spherical rolling elements, which set them apart from roller, barrel, and needle bearings. TORWEGGE offers several designs, including single-row ball bearings with one row of balls and double-row ball bearings with two rows of balls. Double-row bearings, along with cageless bearings made of plastic or steel, are capable of handling higher radial forces due to the increased number of rolling elements.
Deep-groove ball bearings are among the most commonly used types of rolling bearings today. They feature a straightforward design, are easy to mount, and are self-retaining. These bearings are highly versatile and robust, making them suitable for high to very high speeds. Their ability to function reliably with minimal maintenance makes them an efficient choice for various applications.
Plastic bearings, another option for Idlers, offer unique advantages due to their construction from polymer plastic. These bearings are lightweight and operate without lubrication, providing a clean and low-maintenance solution. They are quiet, vibration-dampening, and resistant to chemicals, corrosion, and thermal changes, making them ideal for demanding environments. Additionally, plastic bearings provide electrical insulation or adjustable conductivity, depending on the application.
At TORWEGGE, the choice of material is paramount to ensuring optimal performance for specific uses. Therefore, we offer Idlers made from a variety of materials, including plastic, impact-resistant PVC, and steel, to meet diverse operational requirements.
Another critical aspect of ensuring optimal functionality is the processing of the axle, which serves to secure the rollers. TORWEGGE provides various options, including external threads, internal threads, and clamping rings, as well as a range of diameters and installation lengths. This allows customers to select the most suitable configuration for their needs directly in our online shop and find the perfect Idlers for their application.
