- Lack of lightweight, low-cost wheels suitable for flat, smooth product transport
Technical Features
- Plastic body with rubber tread for quiet and stable rolling on flat surfaces
- 13 mm diameter and 14 mm width for standard low load roller track fit
- 2.5 mm shaft diameter compatible with M6 shafts for secure mounting
- Carbon steel shaft provides strength and wear resistance
- Maximum load capacity of 4 kg per unit for consistent performance
- Weight of 1.1 g for minimal impact on deck and system weight
Materials
- Plastic body for low weight and cost efficiency
- Rubber tread for improved grip and quiet operation on flat surfaces
- Carbon steel shaft for strength and durability under light load
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 4 kg maximum per unit
- Shaft diameter checked to ensure 2.5 mm tolerance
- Wheel rotation tested by hand for free movement
- Material grade confirmed against the plastic, rubber and carbon steel specification
Customization Options
- Shaft diameter can be adapted to match M6 shafts or other standard sizes
- Tread material can be changed to other rubber types if required
- Wheel diameter and width available in other models within the W Series
Use Guide
- Ensure the shaft diameter matches the 2.5 mm specification before mounting
- Use only on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays or rigid packaging
- Avoid use on soft or uneven surfaces like cloth-wrapped items or flexible packaging
- Check that the load per wheel does not exceed 4 kg to prevent deformation
- Mount the wheel on a straight, stable shaft to avoid wobbling or binding

Compared With Other Options
| Metal roller wheels | The W-13G is lighter and quieter, but less durable under heavy or repeated impact |
|---|---|
| Larger plastic wheels | The W-13G is suited for very light loads; larger wheels handle higher loads but add weight |
| Standard roller bearings | The W-13G has no internal bearing, so it is simpler and cheaper but not suitable for high-speed or high-load use |
