100x60mm Rubber Power Feed Rollers for Woodworking Power Feeders

Product Description

Three numbers decide whether a replacement wheel fits a woodworking power feeder: 100 mm outside diameter, 60 mm face width, and the hub pattern. This φ100 × 60 mm rubber power feed roller covers the first two, and its steel hub carries 4 mounting holes plus a keyed bore. The key takes drive torque; the 4 bolts hold the hub flat. Yellow rubber tyre, 100 mm diameter, 60 mm wide, new condition, standard export carton. It mounts on the existing feeder shaft. Price on request per piece, despatched from Guangdong, China.

A power feeder that slips does three things to a shop: it marks the stock where the tyre spins instead of gripping, it forces an operator to hand-feed the last metre, and it stops a line until a replacement wheel turns up. All three come back to one consumable, the rubber feed wheel.

This is that wheel. It is a yellow rubber tyre bonded to a steel hub, 100 mm outside diameter and 60 mm face width, built for woodworking feeder machines. The 60 mm face is the part that meets the stock. The 100 mm diameter is what turns shaft speed into feed speed.

The hub carries 4 mounting holes and a keyed centre bore. The key takes drive torque, so the tyre turns with the shaft instead of spinning on it. The 4 bolts pull the hub flat against the mounting face, and that is what keeps the roller running true instead of cocked.

Rubber is the wear surface and steel holds the shape; that split is why the wheel grips and still runs concentric. Condition is new, colour yellow, packed one wheel to a standard export carton. Price is quoted per piece on request, and every wheel is despatched from Guangdong, China.

Product Features

What the two dimensions and the hub decide on a feeder:

• 100 mm × 60 mm working face — the 60 mm rubber face contacts the stock, and the 100 mm diameter turns shaft speed into feed speed: one revolution moves the rubber surface 314 mm.
• Rubber tyre over a steel hub — rubber supplies grip, while the steel core holds the 100 mm diameter concentric under load instead of letting the wheel deform.
• 4 mounting holes — four bolts spread drive torque across the hub face, so the roller sits flat on its mounting plate instead of wobbling at speed.
• Keyed centre bore — the keyway locks the wheel to the shaft, so torque passes through the key rather than through bolt friction alone.
• Yellow compound — a bright yellow tyre makes glazing, flat spots and skew visible in a daily walk-round, without removing the guard.
• Single-wheel supply — each wheel is supplied on its own, so a feeder with several pressure positions can be re-shod one station at a time.
• Standard export carton — every wheel travels in a standard export carton, which keeps the rubber face clear of sharp edges in transit.
• Woodworking feeder fit — specified for woodworking machinery tools, where the roller presses stock against the table and drives it past the cutter.

Product Advantages

A worn feed wheel leaves two options: keep running it, or send a healthy feeder out for a service it does not need.

• Grip returns at the contact point. A glazed tyre spins on the stock; a fresh 60 mm rubber face drives it, so feed stops stepping and the cut stops showing marks.
• No adapter, no machining. A steel hub with 4 mounting holes and a keyed bore bolts onto the existing mounting face, so the swap is a spanner job, not a fitting job.
• One consumable, not a rebuild. The roller is the cheapest part in the feed train, so replacing it addresses slip before the gearbox or the chain carries the load.
• Feed rate stays predictable. A 100 mm diameter keeps surface speed fixed against shaft speed, so the same setting gives the same feed after the change.
• Wear shows up early. Yellow rubber shows glazing and flat spots before the stock starts marking, so replacement can be booked between jobs.
• Quoted per piece, not per kit. Price is given on request for the quantity you need, so a shop stocking several feeders orders the count it uses.
• Shipping is not a project. Each wheel ships in a standard export carton from Guangdong, China, so a spare can travel with a normal parts order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this wheel fit my woodworking power feeder?

Yes if the bore and the 4-hole pattern match your shaft. Diameter is 100 mm and face width is 60 mm, fixed on this roller; the hub has 4 mounting holes and a keyed bore. Measure the old wheel and its hole spacing, or send a photo of the hub, and the match is confirmed before the order is placed.

What reference number do I order it under?

φ100*60mm is the reference for this wheel. It is listed as 100*60mm rubber power feed rollers, and the same wheel is written up as 60 mm rubber power feed rollers for woodworking feeders, so either form reaches one part.

Is the middle of the wheel metal or rubber?

Both, and the split matters. The tyre is rubber and the core is a steel hub; the steel holds the 100 mm diameter round while the rubber supplies the grip.

Can I re-tyre the old hub instead of replacing the wheel?

No, the tyre is bonded to the hub and the wheel is supplied as one part. Replacement is the whole roller, which is why the 4 mounting holes and keyed bore are the two things to check against the old unit.

How much does one wheel cost?

Price is quoted per piece on request. There is no list price printed for this roller, so send the quantity and the destination and the current price comes back with the despatch details.

Does it work on hardwood as well as softwood?

Yes, the rubber face is not stock-specific. It presses the material against the table and drives it; what changes between species is the pressure setting on the feeder, not the wheel.

How many wheels should I keep on the shelf?

Two per feeder is a practical level: one running on the machine, one spare. A feeder runs more than one pressure position, so a single spare covers the station that wears first without stopping the line.

What do I need to send with an enquiry?

Three things: the old wheel's bore, its bolt pattern and the quantity. Add the reference φ100*60mm, and the quote comes back against the right wheel; if the bore or the holes differ, the matching size is quoted instead.
