Product Overview

The TH-06 is a nylon roller wheel with a carbon steel shaft and rubber tire, designed for light-duty conveying applications. It has a diameter of 48 mm, a width of 21.5 mm, and a shaft diameter of M8 mm. Each unit is rated for a maximum load of 10 kg and weighs 16 g. The wheel is used in material handling equipment and warehouse systems to move small, flat, and smooth items such as trays and packaging components.

Part of the Plastic Roller Wheel range, used in Conveyor OEMs and System Integrators.

Key Benefits

  • Rated for 10 kg maximum load per unit in continuous operation
  • Nylon case reduces weight and provides low rolling resistance
  • Carbon steel shaft ensures rigidity and alignment on standard shafting
  • Rubber tire improves grip and reduces noise on flat surfaces
  • Compact size allows for high-density mounting in tight conveyor layouts

Application Scenarios

  • Conveyor lines in warehouses moving small trays or packaging units
  • Assembly line workstations where light components are manually pushed
  • Floor-mounted trolleys or carts that need quiet, low-friction movement
  • End-of-line transfer points for small, flat products between conveyors
  • Material handling systems where minimal weight and space are required

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building light-duty conveying lines
  • Warehouse automation contractors installing small item conveyors
  • Industrial distributors stocking plastic roller wheels by load and size
  • Equipment builders designing low-load transport solutions for small parts
  • Manufacturers of material handling carts and trolleys

Problems It Solves

  • Light loads that require smooth, quiet movement without vibration
  • Space-constrained areas where compact roller wheels are needed
  • Systems where weight savings improve overall efficiency and reduce drive load
  • Applications where noise from metal wheels must be minimized
  • Need for a simple, low-cost wheel that can be easily assembled and replaced

Technical Features

  • Nylon 6 bearing case provides lightweight and wear-resistant performance
  • Carbon steel shaft with M8 diameter ensures compatibility with standard shafting
  • Rubber tire enhances traction and reduces noise during operation
  • Diameter of 48 mm and width of 21.5 mm allow for consistent alignment in roller beds
  • Unit weight of 16 g for accurate load and shipping calculations

Materials

  • Nylon 6 case for lightweight, low-friction operation and resistance to wear
  • Carbon steel shaft for strength and compatibility with standard shafting
  • Rubber tire for improved grip and noise reduction on flat surfaces

Quality Control

  • Load capacity verified against the 10 kg maximum rating
  • Shaft diameter checked to ensure M8 mm tolerance
  • Rubber tire inspected for even fit and secure attachment
  • Rotation tested by hand to confirm free movement
  • Dimensions verified using calibrated measuring tools

Customization Options

  • Shaft diameter can be changed to match existing shafting if required
  • Tire material can be replaced with a different rubber compound if needed
  • Case color may be adjusted for identification purposes
  • Multiple units can be supplied in bulk for consistent integration

Use Guide

  • Ensure the shaft diameter matches M8 mm to avoid misalignment
  • Use only on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays or packaging to prevent tire wear
  • Avoid use on uneven or soft-bottomed items like cloth-wrapped goods
  • Check that the load per wheel does not exceed 10 kg to prevent deformation
  • Mount wheels in parallel rows to maintain even load distribution across the conveyor
