Compatibility of Our Rollers, Chain Sprockets, and Drives

With a large range of drive options and an extensive selection of complementary roller sprockets and conveyor components, there is very little we can’t upgrade easily and quickly – and for a competitive price.

Our drives will slot right into most conveyor systems, providing an immediate improvement in performance and ROI.

The MRT Range of Drives, Rollers, and Sprockets

MRT offers a broad range of drives covering:

Sprocket drives:

Lightweight polymer rollers in PVC, PP and nylon. The standard colour is blue, and we can include black or grey. Custom colours are available. Our most popular rollers feature dual race bearings, providing four bearing races per roller, giving unmatched reliability and load bearing capacity.
High load steel rollers.
Stainless-steel roller options.
All standard sizes and specifications.
Passive (gravity system) or driven (chain, line-shaft, synchro-belt, micro-belt etc.)

Synchro-belt drives:

Good wear capabilities lead to a high life expectancy for all components.
Suits all high performance and synchronised operation machine builders requiring roller drives.
Small, medium, to heavy loads.
Single machined tooth form for overlap belt drive configurations.

Universal rollers (multi-directional)

Passive or driven (line shaft, in primary direction only).
Barrels can be provided in a variety of materials.
Stainless-steel pins.
Easy wash housing design.
Low marking on cardboard or soft materials.

Micro v-belt drives:

Steel and stainless-steel options.
Smooth running and quiet.
Compact and versatile.

Roller Chain sprocket drives:

Rollers run smoothly and quietly with our roller sprocket drives.
Upgrade older style polymer sprockets with our steel machined sprocket drives, suitable for medium loads and medium to high speed roller systems.
Welded versions are available.
These roller chain sprocket drives are compatible with most tube sizes and types.
In addition to this, we can specify specialist materials for unique tube roller applications:
Polymer rollers with glass ball bearings for acid environments.
Brass rollers and bearings for no-spark applications e.g. munitions.
Stainless-steel, nickel plated, zinc passivated… just ask!
High and low temperature applications.
Hygienic applications.
