Carbon fiber rollers (composite rollers) are designed for reduced weight and high critical speed.
Lightweight, low-inertia irollers allow faster web speeds, reduce vibration, decrease waste, and improve product quality.
Carbon Fibre Rolls can be: Idler Rollers ~ Transducer Rollers ~ Accumulator Rollers ~ Guide Rollers ~ Contact Rollers ~ Nip Rollers ~ Dancer Rollers ~ Lay On Rollers ~ Calender Rollers ~ Reel Spools ~ Roll Cores

WHY CARBON FIBER ROLLERS / ROLLS?
Carbon fiber idler rollers have low rotational inertia, high stiffness, a high stiffness to density ratio, low mass, and low momentum.

Feature/Advantage/Benefit  
Low Rotational Inertia (Reduced mass moment of inertia by up to 80%) Rollers spin at line speed. Far less web scratching.
Reduced roller wear.
Dissipates static electricity.
Quicker response to changes in line speed. Fewer web breaks.
Far less start-up waste.
Less web stretch.
Less web wrap-up in the event of a web break.
Extended idler roller life and reduced coating thickness.
Less horsepower and/or fewer motors required. Lower energy consumption.
High Stiffness
(High Modulus) Less deflection. Less web wrinkling.
Longer bearing life.
High Specific Modulus (High Stiffness to Density Ratio) Faster line speeds with less vibration. (Higher critical speed). More throughput and better product quality.
Less self-loaded deflection. Less web wrinkling across wider spans.
Low Mass Super lightweight. Easier and safer handling.
Less bearing wear. Longer bearing life.
Low Momentum More accurate transducer measurements. More precise tension control.
Less lay-on roller bounce. Higher quality wound rolls with less air entrainment.
Quicker dancer and accumulator roller response. Better dancer and festoon performance with consistent tension control and less web stretch.
