A roller for coating or inking on tapes, especially metal tapes in coil coating or printing systems. The roller has a rigid base body (1) on which an elastic layer (4), preferably made of rubber, rubber or plastic, is applied. The outside of the elastic layer has a thin, flexible metal coating (5), which has a thickness of 0.1 to 1.0 mm and can consist of chrome, nickel or stainless steel. This metal coating protects the roller on its surface against chemical or mechanical damage, but is on the other hand so flexible that the roller can nestle with its surface on uneven strip surfaces with more or less flattening of its circumference. |
