Roller-Ways TRIZ Cases

A yoke-guided eddy-current brake uses ferrite magnets and aluminum to maintain conveyor roller braking while cutting cost and magnetic losses.

Degrading friction gaskets reduce roller motion; one-end shape coupling in a cantilever motor cartridge maintains torque transfer.

A cantilever motor cartridge uses shape coupling and bearing support to reduce gasket wear, maintenance, and roller downtime.

A vertically looped drive belt supports curved conveyor paths while reducing noise and adding visual wear detection.

Tangential belt contact transfers motor motion to roller surfaces, eliminating irregular transport speeds caused by manufacturing eccentricity.

Segmented slider block design prevents metal deformation during impact, eliminating costly hot work repairs.

Spring-biased frames with arcuate contours and rolling wheels position between rollers to block smaller objects from entering gaps.

Discrete roller supports connected by scissor folding assemblies allow the structure to expand and collapse without increasing construction complexity.

A stair roller device uses parallel rails and wheels to transport heavy items up basement stairs.

Piezoelectric actuators replace fluid systems to eliminate friction losses, enabling precise belt engagement and lower power consumption for higher throughput.

Independent vertical rotation of roller assemblies adapts the transport line to irregular parcel shapes without increasing mechanical complexity.

V-shaped sheaves with decreasing outer diameters compensate for belt slip to maintain constant roller surface speed without additional motors.

Integral molding creates ribbed cavities that lock rubber into polyacetal modules, preventing detachment without complex fasteners.

A roller conveyor uses a belt transmission and presser rollers to drive driven rollers at equal peripheral speeds.

Segmented low voltage drive modules replace high voltage systems to reduce safety costs and semiconductor losses.

Arcuate roller conveyor applies large radius curvature and tapered rollers to reduce centripetal force, maintaining article stability above 300 feet per minute.

A transport roller featuring a spherical surface and adjustable pivot axis enables precise directional control of goods on a conveying system.
