3M™ Spring Loaded Roller

Even the best acrylic foam tapes work only if they are applied properly. The 3M™ HR0 Spring Loaded Dual Roller is designed to ensure you get the tape on correctly the first time, even if the application includes varies widths and surface areas. This lightweight tool is specifically designed for use with 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes. It features two smooth-operating rollers: a larger-diameter roller at one end provides a narrow contact surface for tape wet-out on long, thin areas, and a smaller, wider roller at the other end is excellent for broader tape surfaces. This allows for maximum control on applications where taped areas may vary in size and shape.

A spring-loaded clutch in the center of the 3M™ HR0 Spring Loaded Dual Roller controls individual brakes for each roller. It allows them to turn freely when the operator applies the correct pressure on the spring. This generates a consistent 15 PSI at the bondline, helping to ensure optimal wet out of the foam acrylic tape adhesive to the automotive substrate. Both rollers turn freely on durable shoulder bolts for excellent stability, maximum adhesion and a sharp, professional appearance. This clutch-brake system also holds the rollers in place when not in use. The clutch can be pre-tuned by 3M to match specific OEM specifications.

A foam handle is shaped to fit smoothly and securely into the operator’s hand and centrally positioned between the rollers, maximizing tool use and helping reduce operator fatigue. The compact design of this 1.2-lb. tape roller helps ensure precise transfer of pressure from the handle to the rollers, and makes for easy tool storage.

Since 1925 when a 3M lab assistant invented masking tape, 3M has been applying science to life –developing adhesive products and technologies that help entire industries and individual businesses worldwide. The work that began with a single 3M engineer now spans decades and generations – and all of it goes into each 3M product developed for automotive OEM, like the 3M™ HR0 Spring Loaded Dual Roller.
