Scroller Mechanics is a new way of thinking about, looking at, and designing with mechanics. The device represented in its many variations is more than just a new technology and more than just a "elemental mechanism" (Link: Functions Link: Basic Mechanisms). It is a fundamental mechanism full of fundamental mechanisms, offering a radical expansion of mechanical design options.

  • Deforms yet still rolls without slip or rubbing
  • Orbit-rollers can "over-spin" to absorb excess momentum if inner and outer races suddenly stop.
  • Many differing motions in single assembly

    Link: Motion


Many functions in one assembly

  • ...wheel (round or flat sided)   (Link: Rollers and Shapes)
  • and brake (expanding roller)   (Link: Rollers and Flex)
  • and speed sensor (band marks)   (Link: Belts and Surface)
  • and speed governor (centrifugal inserts)   (Link: Hollow Roller)
  • and water cooling for brake (hollow roller)   (Link: Hollow Roller)

    ...belted mechanics can replace most Geared-Systems!

  • no more mess
  • go where grease should not or can not go
  • lots less grease dripping into our environment
  • energy savings
  • maintenance savings
  • resource savings
