Optimized roller surface with zero toner sticking or filming
To ensure consistent toner transfer to the photoconductor, Yamauchi precisely controls the surface roughness and friction coefficient of developing rollers. These characteristics are fine-tuned to match various toner types. We also offer low-hardness ionic-conductive materials developed through our proprietary formulation technology, enabling stable electrical performance and high-resolution output.
What Makes Our Developing Roller Unique?
Yamauchi’s Unique Blending Technology: Low Strain Materials
Yamauchi’s developing rollers are formulated with a low-strain ionic-conductive rubber, which has evolved from our proven compounding technologies used in our transfer rollers. This material maintains stable electrical performance with minimal dependence on temperature and humidity, ensuring consistently high image quality across diverse environments. Additionally, even with low hardness, the material achieves high dimensional compatibility while minimizing staining of adjacent components.
Minimized Outer Diameter and Circumferential Runout through Advanced Processing
Yamauchi’s developing rollers are manufactured using a proprietary processing method refined from our high-precision drive roller technology. Even with low hardness rubber materials, we achieve outer diameter and circumferential runout tolerances comparable tot hose of drive rollers. This exceptional level of dimensional accuracy is maintained even after surface treatments, which ensure a stable, high-quality performance.
Customizable Surface Properties Tailored to Usage Requirements
Yamauchi designs developing rollers with surface properties optimized for diverse operation conditions and toner types. By precisely controlling the coefficient of friction and offering a variety of specialized coating materials, we ensure consistent toner delivery and image quality.
