Consider the following when designing tires or rollers for your application:
- Shaft size and outside diameter
- Compressibility requirements - bundle thickness
- Operating speed
- Operating temperature
- Friction between tire and media
- Radial force applied
- Tangential force applied
- Torque
- Shaft alignment
- Shaft/Tire concentricity
- Operating environment - chemical contaminants
- Physical properties of media including hardness thickness and edge condition
