Traction Roller Sleeves
Traction Roller Sleeves are a non-scratching, non-marring, economical solution to web handling with light tensions. This proprietary rubber sleeve provides a unique tacky surface that will keep rolls turning and prevent them from marking or scratching substrates. Traction Sleeves are the perfect replacement for expensive tapes and roller wraps, and won’t shed particles like many of the cork tapes available.
Traction Roller Sleeves are easy to apply on site. Silicone Roller Sleeves easily slide over existing idler rolls, using compressed air. These sleeves can be easily installed and re-installed several times.
As a proprietary silicone based compound, Traction Roller Sleeves feature very good release properties, good chemical resistance and high continuous operating temperatures (400ºF).
Traction Roller Sleeves are available in roll lengths up to 394” ( 10 Meters ) and can be ordered cut to length. Traction Roller Sleeves are 2mm thick and designed to fit a wide range of idler roll sizes, including 1.0”, 1.5”, 2.0”, 2.5”, 3.0”, 3.5”, 4.0” 5.0” or 6.0” diameter.
These economical roller coverings slide easily over your existing idler rolls, making them suitable for most applications. Unlike tapes and roller wraps, there are no seams that will mark the substrate. There is no need for heat guns or messy adhesives.
