Overview
The 192S gravity conveyor uses 1.9-inch diameter, 12 gauge steel rollers in a formed steel frame. Plain ball bearings are zinc plated and grease packed for consistent rotation. This model supports typical gravity handling tasks for medium weight unit loads. Frame capacity and roller construction balance structural stiffness with ease of integration into larger gravity conveyor systems.
The 192S is manufactured by Roach Conveyors and is available in both straight and curve configurations from a single product series. Standard straight sections ship within 24 hours in 1-foot increments from 1 to 10 feet, making the 192S one of the fastest-shipping gravity conveyor options for operations that need equipment on-site quickly.
Specifications
The 192S is built on a heavier 10-gauge formed steel channel frame that provides additional rigidity compared to standard 12-gauge conveyor frames.
- Roller diameter: 1.9 inches
- Roller gauge: 12 ga. steel tubing with smooth swaged ends
- Frame (set high): 3-1/2 in. x 1-1/2 in. x 10 ga. formed steel painted channel
- Frame (set low): 4-1/2 in. x 1-1/2 in. x 10 ga. formed steel painted channel
- Bearings: Integral plain ball bearings, zinc plated, grease packed
- Axles: 7/16-inch hex shaft, spring loaded
- Couplings: Butt type
- Optional frame: 4 in. @ 5.4 lbs structural steel channel frame, rollers 3/16 in. high
Straight Sections
Straight 192S sections are available in 1-foot increments from 1 to 10 feet. Standard sizes ship within 24 hours for operations that need fast delivery. Roller center spacing options include 3 in., 4.5 in., 6 in., 9 in., and 12 in. Between-frame widths range from 12 inches (13 in. normal roller length) to 50 inches (51 in. normal roller length).
Curve Sections
The 192SC curve is the matching curve companion for the 192S straight. Curves are available in 45° and 90° configurations. Narrower curves (up to 21 in. between frames) use a single roller design, while wider curves (22 in. and above) use a double roller design for even product support through the turn. A wider inside radius is available on larger between-frame widths to accommodate heavier or bulkier loads.
Load Capacity
Each roller is rated at 260 pounds. Frame-level capacity varies based on support placement.
- Supports on 10-foot centers: 1,300 lbs maximum distributed live load per 10-foot section
- Supports on 5-foot centers: 3,200 lbs maximum distributed live load
The 10-gauge frame provides more structural stiffness than standard 12-gauge conveyor frames, contributing to stable performance under heavier distributed loads.
Applications
Applications include truck loading and unloading, parcel and small package handling, e-commerce fulfillment and sortation, retail back room operations, airport baggage and package movement, and temporary conveyor lines in warehouses and distribution centers.
The 192S is particularly well suited for operations that need a fast-shipping, versatile gravity conveyor to handle medium-weight cartons, totes, and packages. The grease-packed ball bearings provide consistent roller rotation with minimal maintenance, and the zinc plating adds corrosion resistance for demanding or semi-exposed environments.
Selection Assistance
The 192S offers a strong alternative for operations that prioritize fast delivery and a heavy-gauge frame in a 1.9-inch, 12-gauge roller platform. When choosing roller spacing, follow the three-roller rule: at least three rollers should support the smallest item at all times. Divide the shortest bottom dimension of your product by three to find the maximum roller center spacing.
