Roll-Rings®are based on the rolling contact of flexures between grooved rotor (inner) and stator (outer) rings. In a manner similar to a ball bearing and its races, flexures (shaped like a wedding band) roll between the inner and outer rings while producing very little friction thus maintaining very low wear. There are four basic styles of Roll-Ring products: Flexures (the original Roll-Ring product), Couplers, Roll-Blocks and Flex-Wheels.
Flexures: Consist of “stacks” of stator and rotor rings, where each ring is adjacent to the next along the centerline axis of rotation. The flexure bridges the annulus between the inner and outer rings to complete the circuit. Flexures are generally used directly within a rotor and stator application.
