Support Roller
*Steel adjustable L-bracket included
*6-1/4” Length x 2-5/8” Width
(Heavy-duty bolts, nuts, 2 x rollers, and washers are included)
They support the gate’s weight and guide its movement along the track, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. These rollers are typically attached to the gate frame and run along a track, minimizing friction and preventing the gate from falling off the track.
A support roller is a type of support that allows movement in one or two directions while restricting movement in the other(s), typically used in structures like bridges to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
They are also used in conveyor systems to support the belt and the load it carries.
-
Function:
Supporter rollers, also known as guide rollers, are designed to keep the sliding gate stable and in line with the track while it moves.
-
Components:
They usually consist of a bracket (often L-shaped) and one or more rollers, often made of nylon for smooth, quiet operation.
-
Types:
There are various types of supporter rollers, including those with single or double rollers, and those with adjustable brackets to accommodate different gate sizes and weights.
-
Benefits:
By minimizing friction and supporting the gate’s weight, supporter rollers contribute to the gate’s smooth and quiet operation, prevent damage to the gate and track, and help extend the lifespan of the entire system.
-
Installation:
They are typically installed on posts or other structural supports, ensuring proper alignment with the gate’s track.
-
Cantilever gates:In some cases, cantilever rollers are used to support the gate without ground contact, especially for gates that are elevated above the ground.
