The paper feeding wheel is also known as the paper feeding drum or the rolling paper shaft.
Its application is extremely extensive. It can be found in everything from printing machines, ATMs, printers to POS machines. Basically, any device with printing functionality will have it.
The material for the paper feeding rollers has strict requirements. The ones we commonly use include silicone or EPDM rubber.
Firstly, the material must have黏性 (adhesive property), capable of "holding" the paper, that is, having an "affinity" with the paper. Otherwise， how can you "pick it up" and then move it forward？ But it can't be too "affine"， otherwise the paper won't be able to "drop down"...
Secondly， the material must have friction， capable of pushing the paper forward. This friction should be just right， neither too large nor too small. If it's too small， the paper won't move at all； if it's too large， it may cause damage to the paper.
The combination of黏性 (adhesive property) and friction can be collectively referred to as the paper-removing force.
The requirements for the material of the paper feeding wheel are merely about adhesion and these two points? No, adhesion and friction are only the basic requirements for the material.
However, wear resistance and the level of density are the important criteria for distinguishing good and bad paper feeding wheels.
Why is wear resistance required? It can't be scrapped after just a few uses.
Why is high density required? Because a low density means larger capillary pores, and larger capillary pores make it easier to accumulate dust and paper debris. Over time, it forms scale and adheres to the surface of the paper feeding wheel, thereby affecting the paper feeding process.
The issues of wear resistance and density require experienced engineers and long-term technical accumulation to be properly addressed. Yongyong Silicone Rubber Products Co., Ltd., which has been dedicated to silicone rubber products for 25 years and has served Zhuhai's brother company for over 10 years, specializes in providing printer paper rollers, feed rollers and silicone key components for them. It has rich experience in the areas of wear resistance and density. Nothing can be more persuasive than time.
However, we did not stop here. To meet the high-quality requirements and production capacity demands of our customers, Yongyong Silicone Rubber has introduced a fully automatic grinding machine and a precise laser outer diameter measuring instrument. These are used to grind and measure the surfaces of cylindrical and conical rubber products. Their main function is to increase the friction force on the product surface, ensuring that the outer diameter size, coaxiality, and roundness deviation of the products meet the customer's requirements.
In simpler terms, it features automatic feeding, automatic grinding, and automatic discharging. During the production process, the computer can automatically adjust the product size, resulting in high production efficiency and high dimensional accuracy.
With the introduction of the fully automatic cylindrical grinding machine, the company has taken another step forward on the path of automated production.
For this reason, our sister company customers drove over 100 kilometers from Zhuhai to visit our company. Thank you for your hard work!
Through the above brief introduction, I hope everyone has gained a deeper understanding of the paper feed wheel of the printer.
