Frequently asked questions
What are U-profile rollers suitable for?
U-profile rollers are guide and running rollers for pipes, round profiles and U-rails, and are used in conveyor technology, mechanical engineering and sliding systems. The U-shaped tread encloses the profile and ensures secure, guided running.
Why do U-profile rollers have a rounded groove?
The concave tread is matched to round profiles and pipes and keeps the roller reliably in track. This results in smooth, low-wear running.
Can I use U-profile rollers for sliding gates or sliding systems?
Yes, U-profile rollers are well suited to sliding systems, provided the guide profile matches the groove shape. Make sure the profile cross-section and the roller contour are aligned.
