Non-damaging Pressure Rollers: Safe, Efficient Parts Handling Solutions
Nothing is more fundamental to successful manufacturing than ensuring that parts are not marred, scratched or otherwise damaged during the manufacturing process. That is why Fairlane Products manufacturer and supplier of clamps, fixturing accessories, machine tool components and rollers & bumpers makes available DuraSoft® Rollers.
DuraSoft rollers provide the compliance or “flex” to provide firm yet non-damaging pressure, yet with durable physical properties for a wide array of fixturing, assembly and material handling operations, all designed to protect parts ranging from those that are delicate or fragile to those that are heavy or unusually shaped. This surface flex allows the rollers to “give” under pressure and conform to the shape, contour and size of the part being handled.
Having durometer measurements from 20, 35, 60, 80 and 95, DuraSoft rollers are particularly ideal for use on conveyors, belt idlers, racks, shock cushioners, stamping die part-guides and supports, carts and wagons, or other applications where fragile items require cushioned, non-marring and secure handling. The compliancy attribute of the DuraSoftÒ rollers is achieved through a combination of the material used, black neoprene, white nitrile, or urethane and a series of unique internal relief channels that provide exceptional cushioning flex.
DuraSoft rollers are available in 2-1/2 and 4″ diameter and 1″ or 2″ widths, with standard bearing mount, precision bearing mount, stud mount, shaft drive and brake roll mounts. The shaft drive rollers include I.D.’s — ½ 5/8, 3/4 and 1″, while the brake roll style is available in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation for left and right side mounting
Rugged, wear resistant and smooth, Fairlane Products rollers are injected molded and available in a variety of sizes, durometers, mounting options and materials. They can also be designed into machines and assembly operations. In short, they can be used nearly anywhere that protection for parts movement is needed.
In addition to DuraSoft rollers, Fairlane Products also designs and manufactures other
roller types, accessories for the ball lock pins, a wide range of workholding and positioning components, replaceable grippers, rest pads and Swivots® — modular component workholding for holding and positioning of irregular contour surfaces, handle and levers, knobs and grips, equipment handles, hand wheels and cranks, hinges and latches, leveling supports, industrial rubber bumpers, stops and wheels, fixture clamps, clamping locating systems, work positioning elements, vises, grippers and mechanical linear actuators.
