1. An improvement to the mounting system of a roller assembly that varies in length including a roller, spacers and bearings, having radially inner and radially outer races with mounting flanges that is mounted to support panels that cooperate with the mounting flanges of the roller assembly, and that are spaced apart by a varying distance, the improvement comprising the addition of a spring to the roller assembly, inside the bearings, such that the length of the roller assembly, with the spring in an uncompressed condition, is greater than the distance between the support panels so that the spring is compressed and generates an axial load on the radially inner races of the bearings as the bearings are forced into position to mount to the support panels.
