Rubber rollers for carrying media, and evaluation of their abrasion

摘要

Rubber rollers for carrying media, comprising a blend of urethane rubber and silicone rubber, and an apparatus equipped therewith. A rubber roller abrasion evaluating tester provided with means for carrying a medium to be carried while in contact with rubber rollers to be evaluated, and means for forcefully causing slippage of the carried medium by a prescribed distance on the rollers. A method of selecting a medium to be carried which has a prescribed abrasive strength, by abrading a carried medium under a constant weight using an abrading material and calculating the rate of the abrasion of the carried medium.
