We can help you move a significant step forward! The heavy-duty skid conveyor rolls manufactured by Walther Flender are used primarily in the automotive industry – and have been for more than 25 years now. Thus, since the beginnings in 1985, we have develop more than 850 different skid conveyor roll models.

Stub rollers Rollers used successfully for more than two decades for installation in existing sections, primarily for cross transport.
• Basic body made of steel or 34/36
teeth (8M) made of thermoset plastic • Bandage made of steel, PUR or VulkollanTM, as desired • Flanges and bandage widths as desired • Special designs available for hot and wet environments
One end driven rollers
This economical solution was developed especially for applications involving smaller loads and low acceleration values. It is assembled from individual modular components and is driven at one end only.
• Basic body made of steel or 34/36
teeth (8M) made of thermoset plastic • Any desired arrangement of bandages, flanges and toothing using basic units which are slid into place • Variable track widths • Shafts machined to meet customer requirements, e.g. with variable wrench sizes and threads Walther Flender GmbH Skid Conveyor rolls Page 06
Both ends driven rollers
Conveyor rolls driven at both ends are given preference at higher roller loads. They are usually made up with a proven hollow-shaft design.
• Sprockets, wheel flanges and
tubing made of steel • Running surfaces made of PUR or VulkollanTM; electrically conductive versions also available • Any desired track widths • Welded joints. Slide-mounted versions with tolerance rings. The advantages of this concept are the absence of changes in joints as a result of heating; running surfaces replaceable when worn; minimum radial run-out. • Special designs available for hot and wet environments
Modular skid conveyor rolls
The WF modular conveyor rolls, in successful use for several years now, offer quick availability and a wide range of variations. All the individual components can be shipped made up to customer specifications.
• Both ends driven rollers
• 34-tooth sprocket made of thermo- set plastic or thermoplastic • 125 mm diameter bandage made of TPU; electrically conductive version also available; 140 mm diameter in preparation • Steel flanges • Unlimited variations • Spares parts available from stock • 50 % weight savings when compared with steel • Simple assembly Walther Flender GmbH Skid Conveyor rolls Page 08
M-Flex conveyor rolls
Building on the successful concept of the modular skid conveyor roll and the principle of the classical tubular design, Walther Flender GmbH has developed the new “M-Flex skid conveyor roll”.
• Quick deliveries with the use of
standard components • 140 mm diameter bandage made of TPU; also available in electrically conductive design • Flanges made of steel • Compatible with classical tubular designs; also suitable for use in existing systems • Spare parts available from stock
Components One result of our many years of development work is that modular individual components are available for sprockets, bandages and skid conveyor rolls, made of innovative materials in sophisticated shaping processes.
Extensive inventories of these
components make for quick dispatch, since only the shafts need to be machined to suit. The array of shapes for individual components is being continuously expanded in response to trends in mechanical engineering. Our application engineers will be happy to tell you about addi- tional innovations. Walther Flender GmbH Skid Conveyor rolls Page 09
Technical expertise Extensive development work carried out in collaboration with technical universities and the plastics processing industry have contributed to ongoing optimizing of the available solutions. 3-D CAD engineering work has become standard in our company, as have complete FEM component and strength analyses.
