Spin Test Data
The following PDF files are the actual Spin/Burst test data which document the performance of the 1/2" x 1/2" Propel-Loc Roller and spiral band by a third party engineering firm.  Further testing was documented for a very popular name brand 1/2" x 1/2" rubber roller. 
The results show that the Propel-Loc Roller out performed the rubber roller with nearly 70% higher speeds before destruction, this with the spiral bands of each roller attached. The tests also show that the Propel-Loc roller obtained a speed of 98,780 RPM's before destruction. The rubber roller was not tested alone but was estimated to reach destruction before 50,000 RPM's. 
The reason for this is simple..........Propel-Loc Rollers are completely centifugal when they are manufactured they are balanced and centered. The rubber roller has too may parts to force it off center and when the rubber is spun at high speeds it becomes unstable and begins to expand, shifting the weight to one side or another.
Propel-Loc Roller are also much lighter which allow it to tolerate higher speeds with no wobble or chatter. And, there is no need to tighten screws, loosen nuts or keep an auxillary tool around just to change out a band.  Thats why we say, "You'd Have to Have a Screw Loose to Use Another Rubber Drum".
