TY - EJOU AU - Yoichiro, Iizuka AU - Yamaura, Hiroshi TI - Analysis of Flexible Media Transport Characteristics of Crown Roller and Its Application to Design T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2008 VL - 7 IS - 1 SN - 1933-2815 AB - Crown rollers are often used in the flexible media transport mechanism consists of a rubber layered roller and a steel roller. In this paper, the flexible media transport characteristics of crown roller is investigated theoretically. The purpose of this study is to analyze the flexible media transport characteristics such as longitudinal distribution of nip pressure, traction and transport velocity and so on, and to develop the design method of crown roller that has desired characteristics.
