Crown's Silent Rollers versus Ball-Bearing Rollers

Crown's Silent Rollers are bearing-free, offering you better performance and quieter working conditions over rollers that use ball bearings.

Better Designed, Bearing-Free Rollers for Quiet Performance

Conveyor systems cause excessive noise in material handling facilities, frequently reaching noise levels as high as 95 dBA. Ball-bearing rollers are a primary cause of that noise, as well as increased belt wear and high maintenance costs.

Crown’s Silent Rollers deliver efficient operations and superior belt wear performance and protection, all without excessive noise. Designed without ball bearings, Silent Rollers use Crown’s ultra-slick UHMW, giving you reduced friction with greater wear resistance and significantly less noise.

A Better Solution for Conveyor Systems and Material Handlers

Crown’s Silent Rollers offer significant benefits over rollers with metal bearings, a primary cause of excessive noise and maintenance costs in distribution facilities.

Silent Rollers provide quieter operation, a longer life span, additional savings on inventory costs, and better belt performance.

Order a Silent Roller today to see for yourself how you can easily eliminate the noise and problems associated with ball-bearing rollers. Silent Rollers are:

  • Quieter, for improved working conditions and less noise.
  • Safer than conventional rollers — no guards required.
  • Available in 1.9”, 2.125”, and 2.5” diameter rollers.

Silent Rollers versus Ball-Bearing Rollers

 

Ball-Bearing Roller

 Silent Roller
Noise

The metal-on-metal design of the roller leads to noise levels as high as 95 dBA.

 Designed without ball bearings and uses high-quality UHMW that deadens noise for almost silent operations.
Belt Wear Protection As the bearings age and collect particulates in the oil, the roller bearings heat, increasing belt wear. The UHMW is ultra-slick and is designed without metal-on-metal motion, reducing heat and providing the highest level of wear protection.
Maintenance Costs Ball bearings cause excessive internal friction of roller elements, which leads to premature failure and frequent repairs or replacement. With fewer moving elements and made with durable UHMW, maintenance needs are reduced and there is less reason to replace the roller.
Operational Efficiency Depending on the weight load, the roller will significantly reduce friction and increase package transfer efficiency. Depending on the weight load, the roller will significantly reduce friction and increase package transfer efficiency.
Safety Guards are frequently required at conveyor pinch points to prevent worker injury. Superior, safer design reduces risk and danger to worker safety, eliminating the need for guards.
