Abstract
A dead shaft or motorized conveyor pulley in which a drum is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation on a shaft mounted against rotation, has the shaft mounted in a pivot sphere. The sphere is mounted in a complementarily socketed block against rotation around the axis of rotation but to permit angular movement in response to misalignment of the shaft from one of the drum to the other end during installation.
