ABSTRACT:
A motorized conveyor roller is mounted in a conveyor frame to support and propel articles from one end of the conveyor path towards the opposite end. The conveyor roller includes a roller tube rotatably mounted in the conveyor frame and a drive means contained inside the roller tube for driving the roller tube. The drive means includes a motor; a gear reducer assembly operatively connected to the motor; and a drive member connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer for engaging and rotating the roller tube. The drive member preferably includes an elastomeric means for frictionally engaging the inner wall of the roller tube, and a clutch means adapted to slip at a predetermined torque to protect the motor and gear reducer assembly from torque overload.
