Conveyor Roller Idler
If such things have developed, I would also like to know. However it seems such arrangement can mostly be feasible in small diameter idlers and for certain type of duty / application.

Re:
The below idler manufacturer has developed a cartridge type bearing and seal arrangement years ago.

Re:
I believe the product you are indicating is one produced by Edwin Lowe in the UK.
The sub-assembly comprises end-cap(bearing housing) bearing and seals which is welded directly into the shell in this assembled form. ■

there is new technology for the bearing assembly in the idlers.individual bearings are fitted in the cartridge and cartridge is fitted over the shaft- this process has significantly increased the accuray of idler assembly and has reduced the friction factor as well.
looking forward to more information on this new process.
