xiros Guide Roller

Ensuring safe operation with electrostatic dissipation, the xiros Guide Roller variant made of stainless steel is self-lubricating and maintenance-free. It is a kind of rotating lightning conductor that promises a controlled electrostatic discharge. The freedom from lubrication enables this barrier-free electrostatic discharge.

The ready-to-install guide rollers are available in stock sizes 608, 6000, and 6001 with a stainless steel tube length of 3.9 to 39.4 in. (100 to 1,000 mm).

This variant is suitable as a deflection roller for films in packaging machines. It is made of a stainless steel and plastic material mix that provides electrostatic dissipation: the tube and balls of the rolling bearing are made of stainless steel; the inner and outer rings are made of the company's own antistatic high-performance plastic xiros F180.

They can be used in temperature ranges from -40 to +176°F (-40 to +80°C). Unlike traditional metal bearings, there is no need for lubricants that have an insulating effect and could prevent conduction.

The dry operation also improves the hygiene of machines and systems and reduces the risk of contamination. All individual components are also suitable for contact with food.
