Urethane Table & Bed Rolls: Reliable Support for Steel Processing
Table Rolls, Feed Rolls, & Bed Rolls
Universal Urethane Products specializes in urethane-coated table and bed rolls designed for heavy-duty steel processing applications. Our rolls provide exceptional abrasion resistance, impact absorption, and product protection, ensuring optimal support for steel strips and plates in loop car systems and along pass lines.
Purpose-Built Table Rolls and Bed Rolls for Stable Strip Handling
Engineered to provide robust support and precise guidance for metal strips and plates in rolling and processing lines, our table and bed rolls deliver exceptional performance in demanding industrial environments.
- Ground finishes with optional textured or diamond groove patterns ensure controlled grip, preventing strip slippage while protecting the material surface, even in oily or wet conditions.
- Precision steel or alloy steel cores coated with high-performance polyurethane or hard chrome withstand heavy loads while resisting abrasion and corrosion.
- Polyurethane coatings, available in the 90–95 Shore A range, provide an optimal balance between impact absorption, grip, and long-term durability, ensuring stable strip handling and flatness under continuous, high-pressure operation.
Durability & Precision: New Cores or Expert Roller Recovery
Choose from custom-manufactured rolls or cost-effective recovery solutions to keep your line running smoothly:
- Custom Core Design & Fabrication:
Need new table or bed rolls? We engineer custom cores with durable steel or aluminum construction and precision urethane covers for maximum load capacity and longevity. We provide the steel core, insert shafts, supply and install bearings, and apply long-lasting ether-based polyurethane material for superior performance. - Strip and Recover Existing Rolls:
For rolls that have seen better days, our strip and recover service restores their original function without the expense of full replacement. We remove worn covers, inspect cores, install new bearings if required, and apply fresh urethane—extending roller life and optimizing performance.
Why Urethane Table & Bed Rolls?
- Abrasion Resistance:
Protects against surface wear in high-speed, high-load operations. - Impact Absorption:
Minimizes shock and vibration, reducing equipment wear and protecting steel products. - Non-Marring Surface:
Prevents dents, scratches, and other surface damage, preserving product quality. - Chemical Resistance:
Withstands oils, coolants, and corrosive industrial chemicals better than metal or rubber. - Noise Reduction:
Reduces noise and vibration, promoting a safer, quieter work environment. - High Load Capacity:
Handles substantial loads without deforming, ideal for heavy steel applications.
Applications for Urethane Table & Bed Rolls
Our urethane-coated rolls are essential for various steel processing functions, including:
- Supporting steel strips in loop car systems
- Maintaining alignment in pass lines
- Protecting conveyor belts from damage
- Ensuring smooth material handling in sheet and plate forming
The Universal Urethane Advantage
- In-House Engineering and Manufacturing: Design to finishing, everything happens under one roof.
- Fast Turnaround and Dependable Delivery: We prioritize uptime with quick, responsive service.
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Extended wear life, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance make urethane the economical choice.
- Expert Guidance: Our team helps you select the right urethane formulation, durometer, and surface texture for your operation.
Urethane Feed Rollers: Designed to Drive, Built to Last
Table and bed rolls provide consistent support and material stability across processing lines. Feed rollers, on the other hand, serve a more active role—engineered to grip, guide, and drive material through presses, slitters, and other precision equipment.

What Makes a Feed Roller Different?
Unlike passive table or idler rollers, feed rollers deliver controlled traction to ensure accurate movement of sheet, web, or roll-fed materials. They are essential in applications requiring:
-
High-speed or synchronized feeding
-
Controlled tension handling
-
Resistance to oil, abrasion, and chemicals
Each feed roller is manufactured or reconditioned with:
-
A high-strength steel or aluminum core
-
A durable urethane covering, available in custom durometers
-
Precision grinding for uniform surface contact and consistent feed rates
Built for Demanding Industrial Use
Common applications include:
-
Coil processing and metal forming
-
Packaging and laminating equipment
-
Paper, film, and textile systems
-
Conveyor-fed production lines
We offer custom roller profiles—crowned, grooved, stepped, or dual-durometer—to match your exact material and equipment requirements.
Dual-zone feed roller ground to tight tolerance for multi-stage processing.
Reliable, Repeatable, Ready When You Need It
Universal Urethane offers:
-
New feed roller fabrication
-
Urethane roller re-covering
-
Quick turnaround for critical jobs
Pair your table or bed rolls with precision urethane feed rollers to ensure reliable, repeatable performance across every run.
