Product Overview

The Static Dancer Roll replaces the conventional dancer roller or tuner roller on a wire drawing machine as the ultimate wire guide solution.

With the conventional roller, the combination of high heat, draw lube contamination, and general wear causes wire surface scratching, ball bearing seizure, and constant maintenance. This is all eliminated with our SDR!

1Lightweight

Lightweight body means less effort in production

2No Bearings

The static dancer roll doesn't rotate, which means no bearings are required, and the dancer will last longer in production without bearing replacement. 

This is a huger benefit for dry drawing lubricant powders. No ball bearing wear to worry about.

3Tungsten Carbide Rods

The Static Dancer roll from Sjogren features dual tungsten carbide rods, ensuring exceptional durability and minimal friction for wires drawn across them when compared to standard dancer rolls bearing friction heat of 450°F/ 232°C or higher.

These rods have no wear in over 2.5 yrs of trial data.

This innovation supports extended production life and enhanced efficiency, ultimately reducing production costs.

4Multiple Wear Surfaces

The SDR features dual rods, each designed to be manually rotated 90 degrees during routine preventive maintenance, when wear is noticed on the surface.

This innovative design extends the lifespan of your roller by four times on each rod! These dancer rolls are made to reduce machine downtime and maintenance costs, making your production a high-performing machine.

5Easy Installation

With expert engineering and your specs, the dancer roll will be designed to your machine based on your application data sheet. 

One customer has stated that their machines have had the Static Dancer rolls for over 18 months without any operational downtime to manage them.

"The static rolls save your wire mill money, downtime and improves the quality of your wire."

Static Dancer Roll FAQ

Learn more from frequently asked questions and addressed common concerns about our Static Dancer Roll Wire Guides from others like you!

Will the wire scratch because the roll is not rotating?

Conventional rollers typically are not rotating at the wire linear speed. With this speed differential, scratching is more likely to occur.  As the bearing starts failing or seizing the problem becomes even more severe. The SDR eliminates this potential.

How do I order replacement rods to stay ahead of downtime when the time comes?

Breakdown on rods is heavily dependent on your use and environment, but it will take quite a while before needing replacement. Before replacement of the rods, ensure you have rotated the rods to a fresh round side. This will allow at least 4 times the longevity. 

Contact us with your model number and wire specs for custom options or replacement rods. You can use the contact form at the bottom of this page or you can email our team directly at sales@sjogren.com.

Won't the carbide scratch because it isn't rotating?

 

Conventional rotating rollers typically feature a surface finish of 16µ (micron) and a hardness of 60/62 RC.

In contrast, our tungsten carbide rods boast an impressive surface finish of 1µ (micron) and a hardness of 80 RC. This results in a surface finish that is significantly superior to conventional rolls and approximately 35% harder.

These rods are highly resistant to scratching, even under substantial force.

 

What happens if the carbide rod starts to show marks from wear?

Our extensive 2.5-year test trials reveal no noticeable wear on the Static Dancer Roll. Should wear become evident and you feel uneasy, the carbide rods can be swiftly adjusted to a fresh surface in under a minute by simply loosening the cap and screw, then rotating each rod.

What do these SDRs cost?

 

Crafted from premium materials and engineered with precision, our products stand out for their durability, often outlasting typical wire guides by at least four times.

While our initial costs may be higher, the longevity and reliability of our products offer unmatched value. Additionally, we provide volume pricing on nearly all items, allowing you to benefit from cost efficiencies when ordering in bulk.

Our production process is optimized to reduce costs when manufacturing five or more units in a single run, and we share these savings with you.

 

How do we adapt these non-rotating rolls into our machines?

We handle everything for you! Just complete the application data sheet, share with us at sales@sjogren.com, and after our evaluation, the SDR will be provided for seamless installation on your machine, requiring no engineering assistance.
