The GM series offers rollers for package and pallet transportation, supporting medium loads in a wide range of industrial sectors. Like the GL series, they are made entirely in steel, and are extremely sturdy and smooth running. All the sizes have permanently lubricated rigid radial ball bearings. The tube is swaged at the ends, guaranteeing perfect coupling with the bearing housings. The shaft is usually drilled and threaded to be screwed to the frame; this type of fitting provides for conveyors that are more sturdy and extremely rigid overall. The particular shape of the end caps, the accurate coupling and the type of bearing used all render these rollers also functional as driven rollers and to support belts for industrial transportation.
Version GM offers idle rollers for package and pallet transportation, supporting medium loads in a wide range of industrial sectors.
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.
Materials
Tube: steel (unfinished or galvanised).
End caps: galvanised steel, full-compliment or caged rigid radial ball bearings.
Shaft: steel (unfinished or galvanised).
Other finishes are available on request.
The most suitable material handling components for conveyors for those seeking robust and flexible solutions that allow for rapid sorting.
Material handling components for conveyors capable of guaranteeing high performance and the full functionality of the system.
An application that demands high performance requires a wide and high-quality range of material handling components for conveyors.
Plus
Ideal for light and medium transportation.

For a wide range of applications.
Optional
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.
Rilsan coated: heat treatment based on Rilsan Polyamide powders of light grey colour, with particular resistance characteristics to chemical agents and wear
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.
