Fairlane Products, a North American manufacturer of industrial clamps, fixturing accessories, machine tool components, and material handling products, has expanded its portfolio of industrial rollers with the introduction of three new material options—black neoprene, urethane, and white nitrile. The expanded lineup is designed to provide manufacturers with application-specific solutions that improve material handling efficiency, durability, and operational performance across a wide range of industrial environments.
The addition of multiple material choices enables customers to select rollers that best match their production requirements, environmental conditions, and performance expectations. Each material has been engineered to deliver specific mechanical and chemical resistance characteristics suitable for demanding manufacturing and assembly operations.
Black neoprene rollers are designed for applications requiring strong resistance to flames, weather exposure, gasoline, oils, ozone and elevated temperatures. The material offers continuous operating capability up to 200°F, with intermittent performance up to 250°F, while maintaining flexibility at temperatures as low as -40°F. These rollers are particularly suited for industrial environments where durability under varying weather and temperature conditions is essential.
The urethane roller range delivers high abrasion resistance, excellent load-bearing capacity and superior mechanical strength. Its high elasticity and hardness make it suitable for applications involving continuous material movement and heavy-duty operations. Urethane also offers resistance to ozone and oxygen while operating within a temperature range of -65°F to 200°F under continuous service and up to 250°F intermittently.
White nitrile rollers have been developed for applications where resistance to gasoline, oils, alcohol and abrasion is required. The material performs continuously at temperatures up to 175°F and intermittently up to 225°F, while retaining flexibility down to -60°F. It is particularly well suited for production environments where clean operation and chemical resistance are important.
Fairlane Products offers industrial rollers in hardness ratings ranging from 20 durometers, providing soft cushioning characteristics, to 95 durometers for applications demanding maximum rigidity. The portfolio includes solid shaft-drive rollers, finned rollers and DuraSoft rollers with diameters ranging from 1.50 inches to 4.00 inches.
Solid rollers feature a smooth outer surface for uniform contact with workpieces, while finned rollers incorporate grooves that reduce surface contact and allow dirt, liquids and debris to pass through more easily. DuraSoft rollers combine a smooth surface with specially designed internal tear-drop cavities that allow controlled flexibility, delivering firm yet non-marking contact during material handling operations.
All shaft-drive roller models feature rollers permanently bonded to steel hubs and secured to shafts using dual locking set screws. This design improves power transmission efficiency while minimizing slippage compared with conventional belt-driven systems.
Beyond its roller portfolio, Fairlane Products manufactures an extensive range of industrial components, including workholding systems, locating and positioning devices, fixture clamps, mechanical actuators, ball lock pins, rest pads, handles, hinges, leveling supports, vises and modular workholding solutions. The company’s broad product range continues to support manufacturers seeking reliable, precision-engineered components that improve productivity, reduce maintenance requirements and enhance operational performance across diverse industrial applications.
