Choosing the Right Roll Size

There is no standard for claiming the capacity of a bending roll. This fact creates confusion on the part of the buyer, and ultimately results in bad purchase decisions. Rolling capacity is dependent upon several factors:

  • Thickness of the rolled part

  • Width of the rolled part

  • Diameter of the rolled part

  • Material yield and tensile strength

  • Multiple Pass vs. Single Pass

Furthermore, rolling capacity and pre-bend capacity of a given machine may be different and stated separately. Even stated pre-bend capacities may be confusing since these are sometimes specified to 5 times or 10 times the top roll diameter (which may not benefit a user who wants to roll at 1.1 times or 1.5 times top roll diameter).

In order to make accurate comparisons between manufacturers, the buyer must communicate appropriate application information to each manufacturer so that the correct bending roll is proposed, and a good purchase decision is made. Please fill out the following information so we can appropriately size a bending roll for your application.
