AF030085 serie versus _90

Are they interchangeable?

Thanks in advance.

Both show as valid part numbers for the MP C3002 and the MP C4000 on Precision Roller's website. I would say yes.

x2 Most definitely! I don't know if they make the 90's anymore (probably wrong), but we've even used the 85's in older B/W machines.

are fine, I also put them on the older ones, I think they only serve the ricoh to sell more rollers ... so you already have the green ones, and also buy the orange ones ... tomorrow they will also do the brown ones and those that have the orange and greens also buy brown ones, not bad as a marketing strategy!

If it is all green, then be it green. If it is orange, then be it orange. Be sure you don't want to mix and have them installed. Different rollers have different grip. And it might cause trouble when you combine and install them.

I have used both colors in a machine with no problems so far. I only did it because its all i had with me. Time will tell, but I do agree that its better to keep the colors the same.

And notice that the orange one's last longer than the greens. Usually, the pickup and transport rollers make twice the life of the reverse/separation rollers.

Re: tray rollers mpc3002 (orange) versus mp4000 (green)

Yes, both work fine.

Nevertheless, sometimes i need to replace the one way gears and bushings in a paper feed unit (according to a RTB which circulate here on this website) which keeps on jamming even after replacing the rollers and holder...
Perhaps it occurs more often when not placing the original rollers?
They might brake the one way's more easy?

I only use oranges in all models because they work the same and are more economical.

Sorry to "pop in again" about this issue, but today again there were jams in the tray's feed in unit, due to the one way bushings where broken.
A few months ago i put the orange rollers in, in stead of the green original ones!
SO... i realy think you need to be carreful to interchange the rollers;
you can do so, but at a certain point the unit will "crash itself"...

is the print/copy volume high? We have those similar machines with high volumes but never experienced any broken bushings or defective torque limiters.
The usual thing we do is clean/inspect the clutches if rollers are replaced prematurely.

Re: tray rollers mpc3002 (orange) versus mp4000 (green)

I cant remember the last time I went a Ricoh for jamming that was caused by worn feed rollers.
I replace rollers at the same time as the black drum even then still they look fine.
