Printing Press Ink Roller Core requires exact alignment with bearing bores and journal ends. Any deviation in shaft concentricity or diameter tolerance accelerates inner ring creep and leads to radial clearance failure. Machined bearing shoulders and surface-ground journals on our cores maintain H7/h6 fits for consistent assembly across high-speed units.
Printing Press Ink Roller Core operates under constant shear with ink viscosities ranging from 20 to 300 Pa·s. Core materials must resist torsional fatigue and surface microfracturing. Frigate selects low-carbon alloy steels with hardened outer diameters or chemically resistant composites rated for dynamic torque transfer in excess of 120 Nm.
Printing Press Ink Roller Core remains exposed to aggressive cleaning agents, press solvents, and elevated ambient temperatures. Corrosion pitting and thermal warpage are frequent issues. All metal cores are surface-treated via plasma nitriding or hard-chrome plating, achieving a minimum surface hardness of 60 HRC and corrosion protection compliant with ASTM B117.

Enables controlled ink delivery to anilox rolls, maintaining consistent film thickness during high-speed substrate contact.
Facilitates uniform ink pickup from etched cells and consistent transfer to substrate via doctor blade-controlled operation.
Maintains ink roller alignment in hybrid systems combining digital imaging with mechanical ink delivery components.
Used in intaglio and offset systems where ink viscosity and registration must remain stable over prolonged print cycles.
Handles variable viscosity inks in multi-layer and multi-color jobs requiring precise transfer to flexible packaging substrates.
Manages ink uniformity across wide-format cylinders under continuous duty cycles with minimal thermal expansion impact.
Printing Press Ink Roller Core often interfaces with unique OEM couplings, drive systems, or locking sleeves. Dimensional mismatches lead to axial misalignment and rotational slip. Frigate provides cores with custom-machined keyways, tapers, or drive flats with precision tolerances for seamless integration into specific press assemblies.
Printing Press Ink Roller Core contributes significantly to vibrational loading if not precisely balanced. Unbalance causes ink foaming, roller bounce, and bearing heating. Each core undergoes ISO 1940 G2.5 balancing criteria with dynamic correction across multiple planes, ensuring mass asymmetry remains within permissible limits for high-speed applications.

Frigate machines each core with a runout tolerance below 0.01 mm using CNC turning and precision grinding. This ensures the core remains concentric during rotation, preventing ink banding and roller bounce. Each unit undergoes dynamic balancing to ISO G2.5 standards. This makes Frigate cores reliable for high-RPM printing environments.
Frigate applies hard chrome plating or plasma nitriding based on press environment and ink chemistry. These treatments offer corrosion resistance per ASTM B117 and enhance surface hardness beyond 60 HRC. This prevents pitting and dimensional changes over time. Cores retain surface integrity even after repeated solvent exposure and cleaning cycles.
Frigate grinds journal ends to meet H7/h6 tolerances for precision bearing fit. Each core is inspected with certified metrology tools to eliminate axial misalignment. This reduces bearing wear and vibration during press operation. The tight fit ensures long-term mechanical reliability in both OEM and retrofitted presses.
Frigate provides full customization for shaft ends, including keyways, tapers, threads, and locking profiles. End geometries are reverse-engineered or built to OEM specs using 3D scanning and CAD modeling. This ensures drop-in compatibility with any press configuration. No additional machining or alignment adjustments are needed during installation.
Frigate selects low-CTE materials and applies stress-relieving heat treatment after machining. This prevents thermal warping and dimensional drift during extended press runs. Core materials maintain uniformity even under continuous ink flow and temperature cycling. This keeps print registration and ink film thickness within tight process tolerances.
