 New Rubber Roller Products
J.J. Short specializes in the manufacture of close-tolerance
rubber covered rollers made with a wide variety of rubber
coatings including, neoprene, Urethane, Buna N, Nitrile, EDPM,
Silicone, Fluorosilicone, Viton ®, Tan Gum, Natural Rubber,
Hypalon ® (CSM) and other types of rubber in Shore A and Shore D
hardnesses. For various material choices visit our
material reference chart.
We work hand in hand with you to
insure that your exacting design specifications are met and we
recommend areas where we believe we can save you money. Rollers can be solid rubber,
hollow sleeves, straight or crowned, grooved or
segmented.
 For new rollers you can supply the core for us to
cover or we can supply complete. We work with solid rolls and
hollow cylinders made from a wide range of metals and plastics
including cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum,
Delrin, UHMW, PTFE and more. Journals are toleranced tightly
for the bearings on which the roll turns. New cores can be
made in varying quantities from one to several thousand. Plating and coating services are available if required for
your application.
With the new metal cores in hand, the
rollers are cleaned and coated with a bonding agent and are
manufactured by molding, wrapping or extruding rubber onto the
metal. Using heat and pressure vulcanization cures the
rubber, and bonds the rubber to the core. In the case of
conveyor rollers many times a permanent bond is not desired so
a rubber sleeve is made slightly undersized from the core
diameter so the sleeve can be pneumatically slid over the core
for a tight, non-slip fit. Cynoacrylate bonding of rubber and
metal after curing is also available and particularly useful
for segmented rollers, this includes secondary operations to
assemble. For plastic cores, rubber
sleeves are made and either blown onto the core or glued.
