A steel roller looks simple until it runs at speed. Straightness, journal tolerance and balance decide whether the web tracks cleanly or walks off the edge at 300 m/min.
We machine, grind and balance in house, so the roller arrives with the runout and concentricity stated on the drawing
Values marked “to be confirmed” are set against the factory’s tested capability before quotation. Send your dimensions and we will confirm against them. Yes. Bare steel rollers are a standalone product. Many customers buy the core from us and have it covered locally, or buy it here and have us cover it in a second step. Static balancing as standard, dynamic balancing to G6.3 on request. Tell us the surface speed — above roughly 200 m/min dynamic balancing stops being optional. Yes. Send the roller or a dimensioned sketch: outside diameter, face length, journal diameter and length, keyway position and any thread details. Email your drawing, the machine model, or photos of the roller you need replaced. You will get a material proposal, a price and a lead time.
