Roll bearings are not subjected to cantilevered loads since they are contained within the roll. The stand's design also assures that gravity assists in opening the rolls due to the weight of the bottom roll and carriage. Safety is enhanced since the rolls open when air pressure is removed.

Tension Control:		The tension stand has two rubber-covered rolls between which the fiber band passes. The force with which the rolls are pressed together determines the tension which must be applied to the band to pull it through the rolls. While the top roll shaft is fixed to the stand, the bottom roll is mounted on a carriage which moves up and down. The shafts on which the carriage rides are covered by accordion shields to keep fiber and dirt out of the mechanism. An air cylinder attached to the carriage forces the bottom roll into contact with the top roll.
Rolls:		The two 8 inch by 8 inch (16 inch long optional) rolls are protected with guards for operator safety. The bottom guard moves up and down with the roll so that the roll is guarded at all times. An entrance guide and an exit guide are provided to maintain the fiber band in proper alignment with the roll edges.
Warranty:		The DM&E 200 Series is warranted for one year against defects in material or workmanship. Rubber-covered rolls and expendable wear items are not covered by warranty.
