Polyurethane Wheel

Polyurethane (PU) wheels represent a crucial component in material handling equipment, industrial carts, and various other applications due to their exceptional durability, versatility, and performance characteristics. These wheels are crafted by encapsulating a durable polyurethane material around a core typically made of materials like steel, aluminum, or stainless steel. This construction ensures they can withstand heavy loads, rough terrain, and prolonged use without compromising on efficiency or safety.

 

Materials Availabe:

• Polyurethane (PU): Polyurethane wheels are made of polyurethane elastomer, which is a polymer material formed by the reaction of polyisocyanate and polyol. This material can be customized with different formulations to achieve various properties.
• Rubber: Rubber wheel is a type of wheel primarily composed of rubber, which is renowned for its superior elasticity and wear resistance. Engineered to provide smooth and durable movement solutions for various equipment and vehicles, operating across diverse terrains and environments.
• Silicone: Silicone wheel is a type of roller made from silicone, a synthetic elastomer known for its exceptional heat resistance, flexibility, and durability. These wheels are designed to operate effectively in a wide range of temperatures and conditions.
• Nylon/ POM: Nylon wheels are primarily made of nylon, which is a synthetic polymer. Nylon is known for its high strength, good abrasion resistance, and excellent chemical stability. It is often reinforced with fiberglass or other fillers to enhance its mechanical properties.

 

Polyurethane (PU) wheels consist of a PU outer layer bonded to a rigid inner core, which determines strength, weight, and application suitability.

Metal Core Available:

• Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Ideal for high-speed or manual equipment.
• Steel: Extreme load capacity and durability. Supports heavy-duty applications.
• Stainless Steel: High strength and no coating needed. Supports heavy loads.

 

Hardness:

Range from 30A to 95A. The hardness of polyurethane encapsulated rubber wheels is typically expressed in Shore durometer units, ranging from 30A (soft) to 95A (hard). This wide range allows for customization to meet different environmental and performance requirements.

 

Key Features:

• High Load Capacity: Supports heavy weights.
• Shock Absorption: Excellent for reducing vibrations and impacts.
• Flexibility at Low Temperatures: Remains elastic in freezing conditions.
• Wear Resistance:Excellent abrasion resistance, ideal for rough surfaces.
• Low Noise: Particularly rubber and polyurethane, have good noisedampening properties, making them ideal for low-noise environments.
• Good Traction & Low Rolling Resistance: Grippy treads excel on wet or oily floors, while smooth surfaces minimize energy loss during movement.

 

Simple Structure:

Easy to install, easy to assemble and disassemble.

 

Application Scope:

Polyurethane (PU) wheels are widely used in material handling for forklifts and carts due to their high load capacity and shock absorption. In industrial conveyors, they ensure quiet, non-slip operation in food processing. Medical equipment uses sterilizable PU wheels for hygiene, while automotive/aerospace applications rely on oil-resistant types. They’re also ideal for commercial carts (non-marking) and specialized needs like anti-static wheels in electronics, combining durability, versatility, and floor protection.
