The standard SRR is available for belt widths from 24in to 60in (450mm to 1500mm), and a heavy-duty model, furnished with a 6in CEMA E Exalon roller, fits belt widths from 54in to 72in (1350mm to 1800mm).
The SRBK, intended for use with return rollers supplied from the user's on-site inventory, provides universal mounting brackets featuring a versatile roller retaining design that will accept the hex-head, round or square end caps of all commercially available CEMA C or CEMA D return rollers.
A heavy-duty model accepts CEMA E return rollers.
