Core Capability · New Builds

New roll cores, built to your exact spec.

When you can't recover an existing roll — or you're building out a new line — we build new roll cores from scratch. Shafts, end bells, through shafts. Carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Engineered to match your dimensional requirements, your bearing fit, your line specs. Then we cover it. One vendor, one shop, one accountability.

What We Do

Engineered new cores, then covered in the same shop.

Capability 01

Engineering from drawing or spec

Send us a drawing or a sample. Or describe the application and let our team engineer the core for you. Bearing fit, journal length, end bell geometry, balance considerations — we engineer the whole core to match your line.

Capability 02

Materials: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum

Carbon steel for general industrial duty. Stainless steel for corrosive or food-grade environments. Aluminum for weight-sensitive applications. We specify the material with the same care we specify the cover compound.

Capability 03

Shafts, end bells, through shafts

Solid shafts for shaft-end rolls. End bells for cantilevered or supported designs. Through shafts for high-load drum-style rolls. Full machining, welding, and fabrication done in-house at our Memphis facility.

Capability 04

Built + covered + documented in one shop

The advantage of new builds at Arthur Rubber: the same shop that builds the core covers it, grinds it, balances it, and documents it. One vendor accountability. No coordinating between a core fabricator and a separate covering shop.

Capability 05

Tolerance + balance baked in from the start

When we build the core, we build it for the cover that's going on it. Journal tolerances, runout, balance — engineered as a system, not as separate steps.

How Our New Core Builds Process Works

From your first call to a documented, tested cover on your line. 89 years of doing it the right way.

01

Drawing or Spec In

Send us the drawing, the sample, or the application description.

02

Engineering + Material Spec

Our team engineers the core: material, dimensions, bearing fit, balance profile.

03

Fabricated In-House

Machined, welded, and assembled in our Memphis shop.

04

Covered + Shipped

Cover applied, ground, balanced, documented. One vendor, complete package.
