Yarn Guide Copper Wheel

Copper wheels act as yarn guide wheels (guide pulleys) in glass fiber production. Their core function is to guide the travel path of glass fiber tows, control tension, and prevent tangling or breakage of the tows.

Key Features

Excellent Self-Lubrication

Copper or brass has inherent lubricating properties, which reduce friction with glass fiber tows and lower the probability of abrasion and breakage.

High Wear Resistance

Copper alloys offer moderate hardness and strong wear resistance, enabling long-term resistance to friction from high-speed glass fiber tows and prolonging service life.

Outstanding Heat Dissipation

Copper features high thermal conductivity, which quickly dissipates heat generated by tow friction and avoids local overheating that would compromise the performance of glass fiber.
