The thermal behaviour of a rotating roller, subjected to surface heat sources is studied in this paper using an analytical solution, developed for this purpose. The roller is composed of a solid cylinder, rotating with a constant angular velocity, and is heated at its peripheral surface by two different heat sources. The analytical solution is entirely explicit and does not necessitate any hypothesis neither on the speed nor on the physical or geometrical parameters of the roller. The characteristic parameters are presented in dimensionless forms and are used to analyse the temperature distribution as function of their variations. Thermal maps are also presented using the proposed solution. They show that the thermal gradients are localized at the vicinity of the friction zone, and that the thermal gradients zones decrease when the angular speed increases.
