im after 4-10 rollers to be used for a project.
they must support 100kgs (each) and about 300mm long must have decent bearings.
many thanks shaun.
BTW i have used google and emailed a few firms but there quite expensive.
Of the three forums to put this in, you went for the wrong one!
I think most of the experience on STW is with planes on conveyors!

That's a very small plane you'll be needing as well then.
It won't take off even with new rollers
It's a quiet day or a dull show in the world of AV then. 🙂
i want to make a set of rollers. but they are quite expensive. i think i can make one for about £80. but was hoping some one knew some one in the industry and could help
avdave - there are no dull shows only dull people
I'm lying
E-commerce in the Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom market is not really doing it for me
I quite fancy a pair of the ones with a resistance unit built in to replace my turbo trainer 🙂
simonm on here runs a conveyor manufacturing company so might be able to help.
im not to sure on how to put resistance on it. my ones will be free so i can pedal as fast as possible.!!!!
To save you time, yes the plane [b]WILL[/b] take off! 😉
100kgs each? you fat bastad! 50 will easily be enough if you are using 3
well what do you think? your the engineer!!
you design i build. simples.
I don't think you should have titled this thread "Way OT". Conveyer belts seem to be a STW core competency, or in their own minds anyway. 🙂
i think there a bit "industrial"
i think im going to make my own. it should be easy. (i hope)
Industrial??? Mate, you said you needed some rollers to support 100kg each, with decent bearings!!! If that's not industrial I don't know what is! Size wise it sounds similar to the ones on our field belt (They might be 450mms though) I'll bet IBI have got them on the shelf.
well i have been quoted £30 each roller plus vat and postage.
ill need 3 per roller so thats £90 plus materials £40 total £130
my time will be my own.
i have though about how to make my own. but its a secret.
ill keep people posted

It would have to be ALOT cheaper than the commercially available ones in order to offset the 'value' there is in these products - the Elite ones have profiled roller surfaces for easier centering, clever folding mechanisms for easy storage, stiff/light aluminium extruded runners so they are easy to port around etc etc. I'm guessing, but I doubt if I'd be tempted for quite a bit less than a hundred notes.
well looks like ill make some for myself and few mates who want them.
