ABSTRACT:
A roller of the slip-type is comprised of a sleeve with an insert press fitted therein. The other end of the insert houses a bearing assembly, the inner and outer race of which are respectively keyed to a stationary support axle and to the insert. A driven element is loosely mounted about the insert but is pressed against the insert by a belt under tension which also engages one or more driven elements of adjacent rollers. The driven element is driven by an endless driving devices. When a counter-torque is experienced by the roller due to an impediment which is greater than the driving torque, slippage will occur between the driven element and the insert, and the article being carried by the conveyor will come to rest.
