Lineshaft Conveyors

Lineshaft conveyors are a simple and low-cost solution to many product transportation problems. We manufacture reliable lineshaft modules including straights, bends, merges, and also switches. Precision bearings are used within the conveyor rollers to reduce noise levels.

The Lineshaft conveyor generally is a universal conveyor that is ideal for integration into conveyor systems carrying boxes or totes, and other flat bottomed unit loads.

Lineshaft conveyors are a great way to safely transport items in a warehouse environment. When an item on the conveyor reaches the desired stopping point, extra friction will cause the o-ring band to slip. As a result, the rollers underneath the package will stop turning. This allows products to accumulate on the conveyor without running off, or causing stoppages in other sections of the conveyor.

What is a Lineshaft conveyor?

It is a low pressure accumulation or product transport roller conveyor. A shaft beneath the rollers drives this type of conveyor. A friction spool on this shaft for each roller attaches to the rollers by polyurethane o-rings. This transfers the drive from the lower positioned shaft up to the rollers. An electric motor powers the shaft, as the shaft spins, each o-ring drives its corresponding roller.

This type of conveyor has been an industry staple for 50+ years.
