Custom Polyurethane Rollers for Advanced Applications

MPC designs and manufactures custom polyurethane rollers built to your print — engineered for precision, durability, and consistent performance. Every roller is tailored to your system’s geometry, load, and environment to ensure reliability where it matters most.
Our rollers support a wide range of motion and material-handling needs:

  • Conveyor and feed rollers for smooth, accurate transfer
  • Traction and ground-contact rollers for automation and robotics
  • Idler, guide, and pinch rollers for paper, card, and film applications

Each roller is formulated with the right balance of hardness, wear resistance, and compliance to match your performance goals — whether that means maximum grip, low compression set, or ESD-safe operation.

Case Study – Conductive Rollers in Warehouse Automation

A leading warehouse automation OEM needed rollers that could maintain traction and resist wear while safely dissipating static buildup near sensitive control systems. MPC developed a conductive polyurethane roller tuned for precise resistivity, grip, and surface performance.

After validation and testing, the new rollers improved uptime and reduced system interruptions caused by static discharge. Today, they operate continuously in hundreds of autonomous robots across major distribution facilities, proving how material science and collaboration drive customer success.

Design Tips for Engineers

Selecting the right polyurethane roller starts with understanding the environment it must survive.

Consider hardness for grip and compliance, conductivity or ESD protection for electronics and robotics systems, and exposure conditions like oils, chemicals, or cleaning cycles. Surface finish, tolerances, and lead time expectations can also influence cost and performance.

If you’re not sure where to start, our engineering team can walk through your design requirements and help select the right material and process.
