Roving / Speed Frame Bottom Roller (Simplex)
Bottom rollers for the roving or simplex drafting stage, also called a speed frame. Select the roller position and machine configuration together.
Application
Roving-frame bottom rollers form part of the drafting arrangement that prepares the fibre strand before winding it onto the roving bobbin. Speed frame and simplex are alternative names used for this machine stage. A ring-frame bottom roller is a separate selection because the drafting layout and roller geometry can differ.

Simplex Frame Bottom Roller Selection
Use the installed drafting arrangement to identify the required roller. Record the roller position, the number and spacing of working zones, the support seats and the coupling ends. Where several speed frames are installed, separate the model and quantity for each frame instead of assuming one roller set covers all of them. State whether the enquiry is for a complete roller section or only a related support component.
