What Is a Rubber-Covered Roller?

A rubber-covered roller combines a rigid core, shaft, or tube with an elastomer working surface. The cover material, target hardness, face profile, and mounting details are selected together for the actual machine and process.

Rubber, polyurethane, and silicone are not interchangeable default materials. The correct choice depends on the load, contact material, heat, chemicals, required grip or release, and surface condition.

Covered Roller Types We Can Supply

We manufacture the following roller types to drawing, with the compound and hardness selected for the process.

General-purpose rubber-covered industrial roller

Rubber-covered rollers

For general industrial contact where the required grip, compression, process medium, and working environment are specified.

EPDM rubber roller for water, steam, and weathering exposure

EPDM rubber rollers

Specified for applications where weathering, ozone, water, steam, or the stated process environment must be considered.

Polyurethane covered roller for abrasion-resistant industrial contact

Polyurethane (PU) rollers

Selected for applications requiring abrasion resistance, load-bearing contact, or controlled driving and feeding performance.

Industrial nylon roller for hard, wear-resistant machine contact

Nylon rollers

Nylon rollers provide a hard, wear-resistant working surface for printing, dyeing and other machine-contact applications. Nylon is an engineering plastic; its grade and operating limits are reviewed separately from elastomer covers.

Silicone-covered roller for heat and release contact

Silicone-covered rollers

Supplied for heat, release, or non-stick contact requirements when compatible with the process medium.

Liquid silicone rubber covered rollers for specified process conditions

Liquid silicone rubber rollers

Liquid silicone rubber covers are available where the specified grade and hardness suit the process temperature, chemicals and surface-contact requirements.
