Standard Live
Shaft Steel Idlers
Application Advantage
Live Shaft Steel Idlers are often ideal whenever the web or the
environment challenges roll integrity or performance. Here are a
few examples of such challenges:
- High Loads
Self-aligning
pillow blocks and flange bearings used to mount live shaft idlers
are capable of handling higher loads than comparable dead shaft
idlers using rigid bearings.
- Elevated
Temperature
(Any idler intended for use in elevated temperatures must
have proper venting to avoid explosion. Be sure you identify such
applications upon ordering). Webex Live Shaft Steel Idlers can
handle substantially elevated temperatures with proper venting.
This makes Live Shafts ideal in ovens where an elevated temperature
or solvent atmosphere would quickly destroy dead shaft roll bearings.
- Harsh
Environments
By positioning the roller bearings out of the immediate web
path, exposure to process contaminates is minimized. That's why
Live Shaft rolls are often ideal in applications where chemicals,
dust or vapors commonly destroy dead shaft roll bearings.
