What materials are cable rollers made of, and which is best for a specific job?
2025-08-14The material of the roller and frame is crucial for durability and performance. We use high-quality materials to match different environmental and load requirements:
-
Roller Materials:
-
Nylon/Polyurethane: Ideal for delicate cables, as they are non-conductive and offer a smooth surface that minimizes friction and protects the cable sheath. They are also lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
-
Aluminum: A strong and lightweight option, commonly used for overhead stringing equipment and general applications where weight is a factor.
-
Steel: The most robust material, used for heavy-duty applications, large diameter cables, and environments where high load capacity and extreme durability are essential.
-
-
Frame Materials:
-
Mild Steel: Our frames are made of mild steel, often with a powder-coated or galvanized finish to provide excellent corrosion resistance and strength.
