TS 7174

TS 7174 is a standard for the terminology and main dimensions of cloth rollers used in textile machinery. Rolling fabric into a coil is a basic intermediate handling step that helps provide orderly feed to subsequent machines, so the roller’s dimensions matter for machine compatibility and production flow.

How terminology and dimensions are organised

The scope of this standard covers cylindrical cloth rollers and their essential dimensions. In particular, it addresses rollers with 100 mm and 150 mm diameters, as well as lengths of 800 mm and lengths increasing in multiples of 100 mm. As a terminology-and-dimensions standard, its purpose is to harmonise the names used for the item and the dimensional limits associated with it, so different manufacturers and users can refer to the same component in a consistent way.

Functional context in textile lines

In general technical terms, cloth rollers are used to wind fabric under controlled tension into a roll. That roll format makes fabric easier to transport, store, and feed into printing, finishing, cutting, or other downstream machinery. Main dimensions such as diameter and length directly affect winding capacity, handling convenience, and mechanical fit between systems, which is why standardised dimensions are valuable for interoperability in textile equipment.
