Reliable Performance in Harsh Conditions

WEBEX Stainless Steel Live Shaft Idler Rolls are the go-to solution when web integrity and roll performance are at risk due to environmental factors. Whether you're running PVC webs that produce corrosive byproducts or operating in high-moisture or chemical-laden environments, these idlers are designed to resist rust, corrosion, and contamination.

They are available in various stainless steel grades and optional coatings, such as electroless nickel, chrome, or plasma-applied tungsten carbide, for added protection. This makes them ideal for applications where chemicals, dust, or vapors would otherwise destroy conventional dead shaft bearings.

Strong Load Bearing

Designed with durable 304 and 300-series stainless steel materials, these live shaft idlers are capable of supporting heavy loads in rugged production environments. The precision-machined tubing ensures structural integrity with minimal stock removal, enhancing roll balance and overall load-handling capabilities.

Smooth Surface Finish

Available with advanced surface options—such as chrome machined finishes, matte textures, and grooved patterns—WEBEX idlers offer superior web control and smooth material transport. Optional grooves, such as spiral “V”, herringbone, or micro-groove designs, improve traction, alignment, and web handling consistency.

Minimal Wear

To ensure long-term performance, these idlers are designed to minimize wear even under constant exposure to harsh conditions. Bearings are strategically positioned outside the direct web path to reduce contamination. Optional coatings, such as high-release tungsten-carbide (plasma) or rubber coverings, extend service life while reducing maintenance.
