ABSTRACT

In a gravity rollerway conveyor having a plurality of resilient tired rollers
with low frction bearings, the resilient tires are selected for various
properties desired for the overall conveyor and are permanently preassembled
on metallic cylindrical tubes for stockpiling, so that thereafter they may be
selected for a particular job and mechanically force fit or cemented onto the
outer race of a standard roller subassembly that has the bearing. In this
manner, the secure assembly of the tire can be accomplished without
contaminating or deteriorating the bearing or other parts of the roller
subassembly.
