Troubleshooting
A quick diagnostic path for common conveyor roller issues.
1
Roller does not rotate freely
Inspect bearings, contamination, shaft alignment, seals and excessive loading.
2
Bearing becomes noisy
Check bearing condition, fit, contamination, sealing and operating load.
3
Roller seizure
Inspect the bearing system and identify contamination, overload, misalignment or sealing problems.
4
Uneven wear
Check belt tracking, loading distribution, roller alignment and material buildup.
5
Belt damage near roller
Inspect for seized rollers, damaged tube surfaces, sharp edges and incorrect installation.
