Dead Shaft
Stainless Steel Idlers
Webex standard stainless steel idlers are ideal for use in aggressive
environments where corrosive or abrasive elements can damage normal
steel idlers. These Corrosion Resistant (CR) idlers are also specified
frequently for clean room, food grade and medical applications,
or wherever high moisture conditions exist. Stainless Steel Idlers
employ the same high-performance alloy steel bearings used in our
Standard Steel Idlers. Consult the Webex customer support team for
special bearing needs, including clean room bearing shields. Like
steel rolls, Stainless Steel Idlers also have the strength to withstand
substantial loading from nips or web tension. They perform well
in elevated temperatures up to 350 degrees F. For greater wear-resistance,
Stainless Steel Idlers can be readily plated with plasma coating,
nickel or chrome. To ensure maximum performance over a wide range
of conditions, Webex Stainless Steel Dead Shaft Idlers are constructed
with 304 stainless steel. Stainless steel shafts can be specified
using the Shafts and Mounts section of the Webex Idler Master Catalog.
For more aggressive environments, other stainless steel grades are
available.
