NEW PINCH ROLLER FOR PIONEER RT-707 & RT-701DUAL BEARING DESIGN BUILT BY ATHAN CORP Athan Pinch Rollers will improve WOW and flutter spec’s on your tape machine! ATHAN P/N: ATH-RT707-POEM P/N: RXX-227 Key AdvantagesThe new design pinch roller core is made out of brass which will dampen vibration that comes through the Capstan motor and transport. Made with new top quality polyurethane material that is the result of years of innovative research and development by Athan Corporation. It should last 4-5x longer than the original. Specifically developed with a natural color polyurethane which ELIMINATES the black residue created by other black rubber pinch rollers while making it easier for clients to detect dirt build-up on the pinch roller.Having bearings instead of bushings means you will not have runout on the pinch roller. This is because the bushings sit loosely on the shaft which creates runout problems, where bearings sit snug which eliminates runout.

Brass dampens the vibration that comes through the Capstan motor transport. A huge benefit. Even though brass changes color if not plated, you can take a piece of sandpaper and make it look new. The change is only superficial. Aluminum corrodes faster, bubbles and becomes a white powder which can’t easily be restored. The oxide goes deep into the surface with aluminum, unlike the brass. A reason manufacturers may not use brass is that it’s very expensive, 4x to 5x more expensive. The only companies that use brass are Athan and Studer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING DETAILS:Please take the time to choose the appropriate shipping option for your needs.
