Polyurethane Wheels ( PU-PP )
Polyurethane with high abrasion resistance, mechanically locked over a polypropylene core, forms a PU-PP wheel. PU-PP wheels are manufactured by injection moulding process. The load carrying capacity as well as life of wheel is much more than that of SRT wheel. PU wheels have good shock absorption capacity & very low noise level.Hardness of Polyurethane : (94 ± 5) on Shore 'A' scale.
Maximum Working Temperature : 50°C
Polyurethane Wheels ( PU-CI )
Polyurethane with high abrasion resistance bonded ( molded ) over a cast iron core forms a PU-CI Wheel. PU-CI wheels are manufactured by casting process. The properties of cast polyurethane are much better than that of injection moulded polyurethane. The load carrying capacity as well as life of wheel is more than that of PU-PP wheel. PU-CI wheels have good shock absorption capacity & very low noise level.Hardness of Polyurethane : (94 ± 5) on Shore 'A' scale.
Maximum Working Temperature : 50°C
Polypropylene Wheels ( PP )
These wheels are manufactured from virgin Poly Propylene Co-Polymer (PP-CP), white in colour, by injection molding. The wheels are light in weight but have fair load carrying capacity. The acidic or alkaline chemicals have no effect on these wheels.Hardness of Wheel : ( 80 ± 5 ) on Shore 'D' scale.
Maximum Working Temperature : 50°C
Nylon Wheels ( NYL )
These wheels are manufactured from virgin Nylon 6, white in colour, by injection molding. These wheels are light in weight, but have high load carrying capacities. These wheels can be used up to 90°C temperature. The acidic or alkaline chemicals have no effect on these wheels.Hardness of Wheel : (90 ± 5) on Shore 'D' scale.
Maximum Working Temperature : 90°C
UHMW-PE Wheels ( UHMW )
These wheels are manufactured from Virgin Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHME-PE) powder, white in colour. These wheels are light in weight but have very high load carrying capacity, higher wear resistance as well as high impact strength. Therefore the question of wheel cracking under load or impact load does not arise, as it may happen in case of polypropelene, nylon or fiber wheels. The material has got very low coefficient of friction. Therefore, pulling or pushing efforts required are considerably less. The material does not have any effect of chemicals or acids. Though the UHMW wheels can carry heavy loads, the material is not hard like cast iron. Therefore UHMW wheels do not damage the flooring.UHMW - PE WHEELS WITH METAL INSERT FOR BALL BEARINGS As the UHMW material has got very low coefficient of friction, ball bearing has tendency to rotate in the step bore. To avoid this, metal insert is pressed in the wheel. The metal insert has step bore suitable for ball bearing.
Please note that there are two types of UHMW wheels. MD type wheels having medium load carrying capacity suitable for MD series castors. HD type wheels having thicker section for higher load carrying capacity suitable for HD series castors.
Cast Iron Wheels ( CI )
These are bare cast iron wheels made from good quality graded casting, machinable & free from blow holes. These wheels have very high load carrying capacity & are suitable for high temperature applications like ovens, foundries etc. The only disadvantage of CI wheels is that they damage the costly floor surfaces.Hardness of Casting : ( 175 ±10 ) BHN.
Grade of Casting : FG 200 as per IS - 210
Maximum Working Temperature : 250°C
Cast Iron Track Wheels ( CI-TRK )
Cast Iron wheels with either V-groove (VG), Square groove (SQG), or a Flange (FLG) are available depending upon the track over which the castors has to move. Since the wheels roll over steel track, the pushing or pulling force required is much less, reduces labour fatigue. Floor surface also does not get damage at any time.Hardness of Casting : ( 175 ±10 ) BHN.
Grade of Casting : FG 200 as per IS - 210
Maximum Working Temperature : 250°C
Light Duty Pressed Steel Castors (LD Series) & Light Duty Extra Strength Pressed Steel Castors (LD-X Series)
Light duty castors are suitable for hospital furniture, house hold furniture & equipments, laboratory equipments, food serving trolleys in hotels & canteen etc. where weight of material to be carried is small. Light duty extra strength castors are particularly suitable where LD castors fails too frequently & where loads are moderate. Both LD & LD-X castors looks like same. Only difference is LD-X castors are manufactured from higher plate thickness.
Medium Duty Pressed Steel Castors ( MD Series )
Medium Duty castors are designed to carry moderate loads i.e. more than LD or LD-X castors, and are suitable for various types of trolleys used in industries, warehouses, godowns, stores, railway platform and so on. These castors are also suitable for hospital furniture, laboratory equipments or food serving trolleys where load carrying capacity required is higher & the light duty castors need frequent replacement.
Heavy Duty Forged Steel Castors ( HD Series )
Heavy Duty castors are recommended where floor conditions are not good & MD castors needs frequent replacement. These castors can withstand occasional shock loads & higher speeds. Heavy Duty swivel castors are of two types. i.e. HD-F & HD-C. However, important dimensions such as mounting holes, overall height etc. are exactly same for both types of castors. Therefore, matching fixed castor [ FX(HD) ] is same for both types of swivel castor.
Heavy Duty Presses Steel Castors ( HD-TTR Series )
Heavy Duty Pressed Steel Castors are recommended where floor conditions are not good & loads are moderate. Load carrying capacity of Heavy Duty Pressed Steel Castor is much more than medium duty castors. These castors can withstand occasional shock loads & higher speeds. These castors are highly suitable for trolleys & equipments used in engineering industries, automobile industries & so on.SRT, BRT, PU-PP, PU-CI, PP, NYL, UHMW, CI wheels can be fitted in Heavy Duty Pressed Steel castors.
Heavy Duty Forged Steel Twin Castors ( HD-TW Series )
Twin castors have the advantages of greater load carrying capacity for the same castor height. The load is distributed over a wide floor area. But because of the differential movement of two wheels, the scrubbing action that arises on turning from the use of wide tread single wheel is avoided. The use of twin castor is, therefore, advantageous than use of single wheel castor with wider tread width of the wheel. Attachments such as wheel lock, wheel brake & swivel lock can be provided on these castors.In some applications, there is restriction on height of castors. When there is such restriction on height of castors, but to carry heavy loads, twin castors provides you ideal solutions.
Various Attachments To Castors
We can provide castors with wither wheel lock ( WHL ) or with wheel brake ( WHB ) and / or swivel lock( SWL ). It is essential that the attachment, if required, is specified at the time of ordering itself. It is difficult to fix these attachments afterwards at the customer's premises.
Please note that these attachments are not available for castors of every size of every series. So, before placing your order, please confirm with the company.
