An end flange device is capable of translating an externally-supplied rotational or torque drive force to a hollow cylindrical electrophotographic imaging member in a copying or printing machine. The flange device includes a flange support member and flange made from a conductive plastic and preferably from a composition including polycarbonate and carbon fiber. The flange has a specified outer surface finish that insures an optimum frictional relationship between the flange outer diameter and the imaging member inner surface. Mounting the flange device to the imaging member does net require an adhesive material due to an interference fit, nor the use of a separate ground member. since the flange device is conductive. Matching the coefficients of thermal expansion of the flange and imaging member results in maintaining the interference fit buying the machine operation.
