Guide Rollers

Precision and Durability with Polyurethane V Guide Rollers
At Universal Urethane, our precision-engineered urethane V guide rollers deliver reliable guidance, tight tracking, and long-term durability in high-demand conveyor and web systems. Built to cradle your belt or guide strip in controlled alignment, our V guide rollers combine surface protection and traction—even in dusty, oily, or chemically challenging environments.
Core Design & Assembly
The strength and performance of a V guide roll begin with its core. Universal Urethane offers full fabrication and refurbishing of cores, engineered for stability under load and high-speed rotation:
- Core Materials: Steel, aluminum, or cast metal—available in solid or tube form
- Precision Machining: Axial groove, journal bores, and bearing seats made to tight tolerances
- Dynamic Balancing: Completed cores (with shafts) are balanced to eliminate vibration and run smoothly at speed
- Full Assemblies: Supplied ready-to-install with shafts, bearings, couplings, and urethane covers
Urethane Cover & Groove Engineering
Our urethane covering is designed to perform under real-world stresses. The groove geometry is crafted to maximize guidance while preserving durability.
- Durometer Options: Standard 85–90 Shore A, with select elastomers up to 95 Shore A
- Surface Finish Options: Ground smooth, textured, or custom Ra-specified finishes
- Groove Profiles: Standard V, helix, spiral, diamond, herringbone, crepe, checkerboard, or custom geometries
- Performance Qualities: Excellent abrasion resistance, impact absorption, traction, and non-marring contact with belt edges
- Bonding Process: Cores are grit-blasted, primed, and urethane is heat-cured to ensure bond integrity—even under cyclic stresses
