Abstract
A self-driven roller shaft support for supporting a shaft end of a self-driven conveyor roller at a conveyor is interconnectable to the shaft end and to the conveyor. The conveyor includes a frame and a plurality of passive conveyor rollers driven by the self-driven conveyor roller. The self-driven conveyor roller has an axis of rotation extending longitudinally along the self-driven roller between the shaft end and an opposite shaft end. The shaft support is pivotable to move the opposite shaft end of the self-driven conveyor roller relative to the frame in a generally vertical plane.
