Maintain flawless ink-water balance and smooth dampening system performance with the heavy-duty Heidelberg Water Roller Gear (Part No. L2.030.430). Installed within the printing unit’s dampening drive assembly, this high-precision gear wheel drives the water form and bucket rollers, ensuring uniform dampening film distribution across the plate cylinder during continuous press operations.
Manufactured from high-grade, surface-hardened stainless steel, this gear resists surface pitting, chemical corrosion from dampening additives, and tooth wear under constant load. Replacing worn or damaged dampening gears eliminates gear-tooth backlash, prevents roller streaks, and reduces unexpected press downtime.
