Patent Pending #771-265*

 

Rotary Forging integrates the journal and major tube-roll diameter

Pittsburgh Tubular Shafting Rolls are available in a 25° angle standard long taper, a 60° short taper, upset design*, center crowned or end crowned; in roll diameters through 12". The unique, patent pending upset process affords a squared end design for tight side frame clearance. The PTS one piece roll design eliminates welds which are often suspect for possible failure. The process offers the only single-piece roll design on the market.

 

*The PTS elastomeric polyurethane coating is an 85 shore A hardness roll coating having a rubber like consistency used primarily as a drive surface for belting. Typically this process will outwear rubber coatings 50 to 1, while being competitive. The esthetic improvement of using this process is a bonus to product appearance, while being unparalleled for wear resistance. Extensive laboratory, as well as field, testing has been done on this PTS process and is available upon request. The standard color for this coating is charcoal to blend with most equipment applications.
