Idle roller assembly suitable for use in trough type belt conveyors is provided having an elongate shaft and spaced apart first and second roller bearing assemblies, each having mounted thereabout an annular hub. A cylindrical tubular roller is mounted to and spans between the spaced apart hubs forming a conveyor support surface. One of the roller bearings affixed to the shaft in a fixed axial position while the other bearing outer race is capable of moving axially sufficiently to accommodate thermal expansion of the cylindrical tubular roller during use. Seals are provided, outboard of each of the hub members between the hub and the adjacent shaft to isolate the bearings from the environment.

Conveyor idle roller assembly

An insert for use with a cooling bed plate transfer grid including a plurality of longitudinal side grid members and a plurality of transverse cross grid members extending between the side grid members and coacting therewith to define a plurality of grid pockets, each sized to removably receive an insert. The insert includes a housing sized to fit in the pocket and including front and rear end flange portions adapted to seat on successive cross members. The housing is fixedly secured to the successive cross members by J bolts which extend downwardly and beneath the respective cross members for clamping engagement with the respective cross members. The housing further defines a central slot in which a roller is mounted. The roller is mounted on the central journal portion of a pin and the pin further includes rectangular end portions slidably received in vertical slots defined by the housing at opposite sides of the roller. A pair of adjustment screws threadably engage the end portions of the pin and engage the bottom walls of the side slots so that joint rotation of the screws raises and lowers the roller in a translatory manner and differential rotation of the screws selectively tilts the axis of rotation of the roller.
