Patent ID: 10072701

Abstract:
A driver roller (1, 18) having a rolling body (22) and at least one axle shaft journal (3, 5, 19, 32). The at least one axle shaft journal (3, 5, 19, 32) is fixed to the rolling body (22) indirectly via at least one support element (4, 6, 21, 25, 27, 29), which is fixed to the rolling body (22), by means of removable connecting means. The at least one axle shaft journal (3, 5, 32) is arranged such that the longitudinal axis of the journal is coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the rolling body (22), and the axle shaft journal is a separate component. The support element (4, 6, 21, 25, 27, 29) has the shape of a ring or a disk with a groove (30) in an end wall of the ring- or disk-shaped support element (4, 6, 21, 25, 27, 29). The support element (4, 6, 21, 25, 27, 29) has a flange (31) on which the axle shaft journal (3, 5, 19, 32) is flange-mounted. Such a driver roller can be easily assembled from modules, thereby simplifying maintenance and storage.
