Friction Rollers

“Friction method – The transport surface on the work piece is not damaged”. Pressure Tech offers an excellent quality range of Friction Rollers, which are manufactured from high-grade quality raw materials.

Friction rollers use friction to control motion and support in numerous applications. Machinery, conveyor systems, and other equipment employ these rollers to transport things and materials.

Here are some friction roller characteristics:

• Design: Friction rollers are cylindrical or barrel-shaped metal, plastic, or rubber components. The roller’s friction surface grips and guides items.
• Function: Friction rollers help objects move smoothly and controllably. When an object touches the roller’s surface, friction prevents slipping or sliding, allowing regulated motion.
• Adjustability: The friction roller can change its pressure to meet different object sizes and weights. This adaptability lets the roller grab and steer several materials.
• Maintenance: Friction rollers need proper maintenance to work properly. Cleaning, lubrication, and wear-and-tear examination may be required.
• Advantages: Friction rollers are simple, cost-effective, and can handle varied materials and loads. They are also easy to replace when worn.
• Limitations: Friction rollers have limitations despite their versatility and popularity. Friction can generate wear and heat, which can damage or reduce efficiency. They may not be suited for high-precision or low-contact applications.
