Abstract
A roller assembly for a sheet material transport assembly is disclosed, wherein skewing of the transported sheet material relative to the transport assembly is reduced. The roller assembly includes an elongate shaft having a compliant layer disposed about the shaft. A relatively non-compliant layer is disposed about the compliant layer to form a tire, wherein the non-compliant layer has a circumference, which is substantially unchanged upon operable loading of the roller assembly.
