Wound filament
Filament wound between flanges or in a spiral; replacement means rewinding or replacing the roller.
Roller (cylindrical) brushes
A cylindrical brush is the working element of most cleaners: filament wound or implanted over a core on a shaft. The key dimensions are working length, total length, outside diameter, core diameter and the filament itself.
Design variants
Implanted (tufted) filament
Filament tufts anchored into the core; individual tufts cannot be replaced in service.
Segment-mounted filament
Filament carried on removable segments fixed to the shaft; segments are replaced individually.

Parameters for a roller brush request
| Parameter | What to state |
|---|---|
| Working length | The brush length that cleans the belt along its width. |
| Total length | Shaft length including journals and bearing seats. |
| Diameters | Outside diameter over the filament and core diameter; new and worn values if available. |
| Filament | Material, diameter and free length as stated by the manufacturer. |

Limits and caveats
- Numerical properties of specific rollers are published only with a source; this page lists generic dimensions.
- Worn diameter reduces peripheral speed at the same rotation rate — see the brush speed tool.
- Dynamic balancing and maximum speed are manufacturer responsibilities.
Front view and cross-section: The front projection shows the working and total length; the cross-section shows the core, filament layer and outside diameter. Together they describe the roller for a request.
