Abstract
Conveyor rollers that include a bearing that may float axially relative to the shaft are disclosed. In some embodiments, the conveyor roller includes an elastic member (e.g., o-ring) that resists rotation of the inner race of the bearing from rotating relative to the shaft. The floating bearing may accommodate expansion and/or contraction of the roller tube relative to the shaft.
