Abstract
A sound attenuated conveyor roller assembly reduces the noise or vibration produced by the conveyor roller assembly during operation, and includes a conveyor roller having a cylindrical portion to which a sound damper may be coupled. The conveyor roller may include an unreduced outer surface and a reduced outer surface, in which the sound damper is disposed at the reduced outer surface such that an outer surface of the damper and the unreduced outer surface of the conveyor roller are located at substantially equal radial distances from a longitudinal axis of the conveyor roller. A tapered end connector having a tapered plastic tip may be coupled to each end of the conveyor roller to further reduce noise and vibration in the conveyor roller assembly.
