Fairlane Products has engineered its DuraSoft rollers to solve a critical industrial challenge: safely moving fragile or irregularly shaped components without damage. These innovative rollers combine compliant flexibility with durable construction, adapting to part contours while maintaining secure handling across manufacturing and material transport applications.
Precision Protection Across Industries
Available in five durometer ratings (20-95), the rollers serve specialized functions including:
- Conveyor systems for delicate electronics
- Stamping die part-guides in metal fabrication
- Shock absorption in automotive assembly
- Non-marring handling for glass and ceramic products
The product line addresses growing demand for gentle yet reliable material handling in precision manufacturing sectors.
Engineered for Versatility
Fairlane’s injection-molded rollers offer:
- Multiple size and mounting configurations
- Custom material formulations
- Direct integration into machinery designs
This adaptability makes them suitable for everything from pharmaceutical packaging lines to heavy aerospace component transport.
Beyond Basic Roller Function
What sets DuraSoft apart is its unique surface compliance – the rollers dynamically adjust pressure to match each part’s profile. This “smart cushioning” effect prevents both surface marring and positional instability during movement, a combination traditional rigid rollers can’t achieve.
Meeting Modern Manufacturing Demands
“As components become more complex and fragile, standard handling solutions often cause more problems than they solve,” explained a Fairlane engineer. The Michigan-based company reports surging demand for its rollers, particularly in electric vehicle battery production and medical device manufacturing where part protection is paramount.
