The GL series offers rollers for package transportation, for light and medium loads in a wide range of industrial sectors.
They are made entirely in steel and, thanks to the use of shielded and pre-lubricated radial ball bearings, offer a combination of extreme smooth running and the highest load capacity in their category. The smallest sizes use caged ball bearings made specifically for these products. The more common sizes have end caps with full-compliment ball bearings that further increase sturdiness. The particular shape of the end caps, the grade of finish of the ball bearings and the accurate coupling allow these rollers to also perform well in driven applications and to support conveyor belts.
The GL version offers idle rollers and is the standard construction for this type of component. These are extremely smooth running and sturdy products, used in a wide variety of applications thanks to the generous range of configurations available. With the exception of sizes GL/56, 58, 60 and 62, which have the end caps press fitted into the tube, on the tubes of all the other sizes the flange containing the bearings is swaged, ensuring a proper fit over time.
This series is intended for use in temperatures of between -20°C and +100°C. Lower minimum temperatures are admissible, subject to verification of the conditions of use.

Double rollers are a type of conveyor component used in material handling systems, consisting of two parallel rollers mounted on a single shaft. This design provides increased load-bearing capacity, enhanced stability, and smooth operation for the movement of materials. Double rollers are commonly employed in applications where higher strength or support is required, such as in heavy-duty conveyors, or for ensuring even distribution of material across the conveyor system. They are especially effective in preventing misalignment, reducing friction, and improving the overall efficiency and longevity of the conveyor system.
Double rollers with PVC-covered rollers are commonly used in material handling systems, particularly in conveyor applications. These rollers consist of two parallel shafts, each mounted with a set of rollers, providing enhanced stability and support for the conveyed materials. The PVC covering on the rollers offers several benefits, including increased durability, improved grip, and reduced friction, making them ideal for handling various types of materials, including lightweight, fragile, or delicate products. The combination of double rollers and PVC covers ensures smooth and reliable operation, even in demanding environments, while minimizing wear and tear on both the rollers and the conveyed materials.
For the rollers diameter 76 and 89 mm, aluminium flanges are supplied separately in a special kit, composed by 2 elements and complete with zinc plated fixing bolts to assemble them in different ways. Attention: the screws must be tightened by torque wrench = 13 Nm
Although not special, information on this design is given. The rough or zinc plated steel tube “N” or “Z and J” rollers with “D” values as per table, can be covered with a soft, elastic and smooth surface (hardness 73 ShA) grey colour (RAL 9006) PVC (Polyvinylchloride) plastic tube, particularly resistant to chemical agents. It is normally used to protect the roller surfaces and mostly to avoid scratching painted, enamelled, smooth, etc. load, and in some cases to increase friction. The PVC lagging is simply fitted on the tube with excellent coupling thanks to elastic tightening. Application temperatures ranging from -10°C to +50°C.
PVC-covered rollers with round belt transmission are a common solution in material handling systems, offering an efficient method for conveying goods. The PVC-covered rollers are designed to provide smooth, durable surfaces that reduce friction and wear, ideal for handling a variety of materials, especially those requiring gentle handling or increased grip. The round belt transmission works by transmitting power through a flexible, round belt, which runs over these rollers, efficiently driving the conveyor system. This combination ensures quiet, low-maintenance operation, enhanced traction, and reliable performance in light to medium-duty applications, such as in food processing, packaging, and logistics. The system's simplicity and adaptability make it suitable for a wide range of conveyor configurations.

A round belt transmission is a type of mechanical drive system commonly used in material handling applications. It consists of a round, flexible belt that transmits power between pulleys, typically made from materials such as rubber, polyurethane, or elastomeric compounds. Round belts are often employed in conveyors, sorters, and other machinery where smooth and quiet operation is essential. The round profile ensures low friction, high efficiency, and the ability to work in compact spaces. These systems are known for their simplicity, ease of installation, and ability to handle moderate power transmission in light to medium-duty applications.
