In the second photo, what is that hex axle L shaped called?

I basically need to make a bare bed of rollers. I will be moving around insulated panels that will have to lay on the rollers with their longer side facing forward similar to how you would insert the tape into a VCR (so basically 1/3 of the panel will be hanging off the bed hence the above frame...

Okay, thank you! How would you go about motorizing this in a roller set high format (above the frame), while it not having any contact with the rollers itself (so something like chain and sprocket welded onto the roller)?

I just wanted some clarification on how these rollers worked. All you would technically need to do is to build the frame and attach these to the frame and motorize it correct? Do you still need to add a bearing to the sides? If you do, how would you because the axle length on each side is about...

I am trying to power my conveyor roller but have a 7/16" hex axle. I have been trying to find a sprocket that has a hex bore and is able to handle a ANSI Standard Size 40 Roller Chain. Is there any other efficient way to power this other than chain and sprocket? Also, this sounds dumb, but I was...

It would be something along the lines of this. I did not want to use one roller because it would be so long. I was wondering if I was able to not use a bearing on the inside ends and figure out a way to connect them.

Yes the rollers are on the same axis. I need to line them up side by side. The bearings will be at the outer ends of both rollers but not the inner ones. I need to somehow connect the two rollers together. From the top view, the order or parts will be Frame, Bearing, Roller, Something that...

Hi there, I have two conveyor rollers that are on the same plane about 2 ft apart. How can I connect their axles together while keeping that 2 ft distance? I was thinking of just getting a metal shaft and welding it together
