Zusammenfassung:A curved section of a roller conveyor includes a plurality of conveyor roller assemblies each formed by an elongated rigid cylindrical base tube with a bearing and stub axle unit mounted on each end portion of the base tube. The stub axle is spring biased and has a slightly resilient outer surface and a metal core pin. A tapered tubular sleeve of plastics material is mounted on an outer end portion of the base tube with the large end of the sleeve adjacent the outer end of the base tube. Preferably, the sleeve extends axially less than 50% of the length of the base tube and has a press-fit on the base tube with a radial pin locking the sleeve to the base tube.
