A winning combination – radial and linear flexibility protect against thermal expansion and excess shaft deflection.
The combination of the WINertia™ self-adjusting bearings, WINertia™ tubing and WINlock™ Bearing Protection system join forces to bring you the patented WINertia™ Self-Adjusting Idler Technology.
Specifically engineered to provide a dead-shaft roller that is ideally suited for a variety of applications, including printing, converting and laminating. The WINertia™ Self-Adjusting Technology creates an idler that is the highest precision and lowest maintenance dead-shaft roller on the market today.
This Self-Adjusting Idler Technology is included in all WINertia idler rolls including, WINertia AV, WINertia AV – reverse crown spreader, and WINertia ST.
The WINertia™ Self-Adjusting Idler Technology maintains constant radial alignment up to a 2˚ misalignment between the shaft and bearing. Linear alignment is also constantly maintained during thermal expansion and contraction which eliminates roll failures due to bearing side loading.
