How To Size One-Way Rollers

Minco One-Way gravity rollers are sized just like conventional gravity rollers. The following will cover those conventions, helping you to properly size your roller.
BF
Between Frame dimention: The length between the inside of the frame from one side to the other.
FW
Face Width: Face width is a function of the BF dimension. Measured from the outermost face of one bearing to the outermost edge of it's counterpart. Most rollers are manufactured 1/8" less than the BF dimension.
OAL
Over All Length: This is measured from tube edge to tube edge. OAL may vary within the same face width with particular bearings being used.
Bearing Selection
Low Precision - Light Duty or Precision Ball Bearings, are the most common choice for gravity rollers. Plastic and other bearings are also available depending on the application of the roller.
Shaft

Cross Section - round or hex. Size - diameter or hex size. Specify locking method if round shaft is needed.

Tube Material
Specify tube diameter, gage and finish.
