Product Overview
The HIPS roller wheel W-38G is a plastic roller wheel with a 38 mm diameter and 24.5 mm width, rated for a maximum load of 20 kg per piece. It features an M8 mm shaft and is constructed with a carbon steel shaft and rubber roller. The wheel is designed for light-duty conveying applications where low weight and ease of assembly are required.
Part of the Plastic Roller Wheel range, used in Conveyor OEMs and System Integrators.
Key Benefits
- Rated for 20 kg maximum load per piece for light to medium product handling
- M8 mm shaft size matches common conveyor tube and shaft standards
- Rubber roller surface provides quiet operation and good grip on flat, smooth surfaces
- Carbon steel shaft offers durability and resistance to bending under load
- Low weight improves handling and reduces overall system weight
Application Scenarios
- Light-duty roller tracks in warehouse material handling systems
- Conveyor lines transporting flat trays, small boxes, or lightweight components
- Assembly line stations where low-friction movement is needed for small parts
- Floor-mounted wheels on trolleys or carts for moving light equipment
- Conveyor sections where easy assembly and low weight are priorities
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building low-load roller tracks
- Material handling equipment builders using plastic wheels in light-duty applications
- Industrial distributors stocking plastic roller wheels by load and shaft size
- Warehouse automation contractors setting up low-cost conveying systems
- Production line builders needing lightweight wheels for small part transport
Problems It Solves
- Need for a low-weight wheel that does not add excessive load to a conveyor frame
- Requirement for a wheel that fits standard M8 mm shafts used in many conveyor designs
- Need to avoid over-engineering for light loads where metal wheels would be excessive
- Desire for a wheel that can be quickly assembled and replaced during maintenance
- Requirement for a quiet-running wheel in environments where noise must be minimized
Technical Features
- Plastic roller made from HIPS with rubber coating for surface grip and noise reduction
- Shaft diameter of M8 mm for compatibility with standard conveyor shafts
- Roller diameter of 38 mm and width of 24.5 mm for consistent fit in standard roller tracks
- Maximum load capacity of 20 kg per piece under normal operating conditions
- Carbon steel shaft provides structural support and resists deformation
Materials
- Carbon steel shaft for strength and shaft compatibility
- Rubber roller surface for grip and reduced noise on flat surfaces
- HIPS plastic base for low weight and cost-effective production
Quality Control
- Shaft diameter verified against M8 mm specification
- Roller rotation checked for smoothness and absence of binding
- Load capacity tested against the 20 kg maximum rating
- Material grade confirmed against the carbon steel and rubber specification
- Visual inspection for defects in the rubber surface and plastic body
Customization Options
- Shaft diameter can be adjusted to match specific tube or shaft requirements
- Roller width and diameter available in other sizes within the W Series
- Material options available for shaft and roller surface upon request
Use Guide
- Ensure the shaft diameter matches M8 mm to avoid misalignment
- Use only on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays or rigid packaging
- Avoid use on soft, uneven, or flexible materials that may damage the wheel
- Check that the load per wheel does not exceed 20 kg to prevent deformation
- Install with the rubber surface facing the load to maximize grip and reduce wear

Compared With Other Options
| Metal roller wheels | HIPS roller wheel W-38G is lighter and quieter, but less durable under heavy or impact loads |
|---|---|
| Standard plastic wheels with no rubber coating | The rubber surface on W-38G improves grip and reduces noise on flat surfaces |
| Larger load-rated roller wheels | W-38G is suited for light loads; heavier applications require higher capacity models |
