Part of the Plastic Roller Wheel range, used in Conveyor OEMs and System Integrators.
Key Benefits
- 30 kg maximum load capacity per unit for light to medium items
- 38 mm diameter and 12 mm width fit standard tube and shaft dimensions
- Metal bearing on carbon steel shaft ensures smooth rotation under load
- Rubber outer surface reduces noise and protects product surfaces
- Easy to assemble and ship due to compact design and lightweight construction
Application Scenarios
- Conveyor systems moving small trays, boxes, or flat components in a warehouse
- Mobile workstations or trolleys that need quiet, low-friction rolling
- Assembly line transfer points where light parts are moved by hand
- Light-duty material handling equipment requiring consistent wheel size and load rating
- Floor-mounted guides or support wheels in automated or semi-automated systems
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building light-duty conveyors
- Warehouse equipment builders using standard-sized wheels
- Industrial distributors stocking plastic roller wheels by diameter and load
- Manufacturers of mobile workstations and trolleys needing consistent wheels
- Production line builders requiring low-noise, low-friction rolling components
Problems It Solves
- Inconsistent wheel sizes across multiple suppliers causing alignment issues
- Noise and vibration from hard plastic or unbalanced wheels in light-duty systems
- Wheels that fail under repeated load due to poor bearing or shaft support
- Difficulty in replacing wheels when shaft size or diameter does not match
- Lack of standardization in plastic roller wheels leading to longer assembly times
Technical Features
- Plastic roller wheel with integrated metal bearing for durability
- 38 mm diameter and 12 mm width match common conveyor tube and shaft standards
- 6.1 mm shaft diameter fits M6 threaded shafts commonly used in industrial systems
- Carbon steel shaft with metal bearing supports the 30 kg maximum load
- Rubber outer surface provides grip and reduces noise during rolling
Materials
- Carbon steel shaft for strength and compatibility with standard M6 shafts
- Rubber outer surface for quiet operation and surface protection
- Plastic roller body for lightweight and corrosion-resistant construction
Quality Control
- Load capacity tested against the 30 kg maximum rating
- Rotation checked by hand to ensure smooth movement without binding
- Shaft diameter verified against the 6.1 mm specification
- Material grade confirmed for carbon steel shaft and rubber outer layer
Customization Options
- Shaft diameter can be adjusted if a different size is required
- Outer material can be changed to a different rubber compound if needed
- Diameter and width can be modified for non-standard applications
- Other load ratings available upon request for different applications
Use Guide
- Ensure the shaft diameter matches the 6.1 mm specification before mounting
- Do not exceed 30 kg per wheel to avoid bearing or shaft failure
- Use only on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays or rigid packaging
- Avoid use on soft or uneven surfaces like cloth-wrapped items or foam
- Inspect regularly for wear on the rubber surface and replace if damaged
