Description
The 3M 7100060916 L-handle clutch roller is a precision tool made to ensure consistent wet out and repeatable adhesion when applying 3M acrylic foam tapes. The 100mm roller and tunable spring loaded clutch produce a controlled 15 PSI at the bondline to greatly improve adhesive flow and visual appearance. Designed as part of 3M Roller Tools for OEM attachment tape applications, the unit is lightweight, compact, and easy to hand operate. The L-handle ergonomics reduce operator fatigue and improve control for long production runs and spot applications. Use this clutch roller when consistent pressure, reliable wet out and production repeatability determine the purchase decision.
Product Features and Benefits
Spring-loaded clutch for controlled pressure
Tunable clutch engages only at set spring force to generate a consistent 15 PSI bondline, ensuring predictable wet-out of acrylic foam tape. This clutch roller design prevents free rolling and avoids under- or over application during tape placement.
100mm roller for broad coverage
A 100mm roller width delivers uniform pressure across wider tape and part geometries, reducing passes and cycle time. The roller with handle transfers load vertically for precise application across flat and slightly contoured surfaces.
L-handle ergonomics to reduce operator fatigue
The L-handle fits the operator’s grip and aligns force with the roller to minimize wrist strain in repeated use. Comfortable grip improves hand control for accurate tape application in assembly environments.
Optimized for acrylic foam tape wet-out
3M Roller Tools Specifically designed as a tape application roller, it produces the pressure profile needed for complete adhesive wet-out and stronger bond formation. Ensures consistent adhesive spread for improved peel and shear performance once cured.
Durable, production-ready construction
3M 7100060916 features robust, low mass components that provide long service life and simple maintenance in production settings. This durable industrial roller tool is suitable for bench, line-side and field service applications.
