Polyurethane Drive Rollers
Polyurethane drive rollers are the core components of power transmission in industrial conveyor systems. Through close contact with the conveyor belt, it relies on friction to transfer the rotary motion of the motor and other power sources to the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt can run continuously and stably, and realize the efficient conveying of materials. Polyurethane drive rollers are capable of precise transmission, increased friction, cushioning protection, and a variety of different industrial conveying conditions.

Polyurethane Drive Rollers VS Rubber or Metal Drive Rollers
- 1. Excellent wear resistance
- 2. Good friction
- 3. Anti-aging and chemical resistance
- 4. Design flexibility and customization
- 5. Cushioning properties
1) Compared with rubber drive rollers, polyurethane material has higher hardness and strength, and its wear resistance is superior. In the process of long-term contact and friction with the conveyor belt, the polyurethane drive roller wears slower, and can maintain good performance in a long time of operation, reducing the size change and performance degradation of the drive roller due to wear and tear, thus reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance costs.
2) Compared with metal drive rollers, metal drive rollers are prone to wear and scratches in some friction and impact environments, while polyurethane drive rollers have good anti-wear ability, which can ensure power transmission while extending its own service life and improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.
1) The surface characteristics of polyurethane material can provide stable and large friction, compared with some plastic drive rollers, the friction between polyurethane drive rollers and conveyor belts can better meet the transmission requirements in actual work. This good friction can effectively prevent the conveyor belt from slipping during operation, ensure the stable operation of the conveying system, and improve the conveying efficiency and reliability.
1) Compared with rubber drive rollers, polyurethane drive rollers have better anti-aging performance. Rubber is easily affected by ultraviolet rays, oxygen, temperature and other environmental factors and aging, hardening, brittleness and other phenomena, thus affecting the performance and life of the drive roller. The polyurethane material has a stronger resistance to environmental factors, and can maintain relatively stable performance under different climatic conditions and environments, and is less likely to show obvious performance deterioration in long-term use.
2) In terms of chemical resistance, polyurethane drive rollers can withstand the erosion of a variety of chemical substances. Compared with ordinary metal drive rollers, which are easily corroded by chemical substances, polyurethane drive rollers, after special treatment, can work normally in environments where there is a risk of chemical corrosion, such as conveyor systems in the chemical industry, electroplating and other industries.
Polyurethane materials can be made into drive rollers of various hardnesses, shapes and sizes through different formulations and processing techniques to meet the special needs of different users. Compared with some traditional materials, drive rollers have a greater advantage in customization. Whether it is special size, special surface treatment or special functional requirements, polyurethane drive rollers can better achieve customized production and provide users with personalized solutions.
Compared to metal and some rigid plastic drive rollers, polyurethane drive rollers have a certain degree of elasticity that provides a cushioning effect during operation. This reduces the impact between the conveyor belt and the drive rollers, reduces the wear and tear of the conveyor belt, and extends the service life of the conveyor belt. At the same time, the cushioning effect can also reduce the vibration and noise during the operation of the equipment, creating more favorable conditions for the production environment.
