- 38 mm diameter and 12 mm width fit standard roller track spacing and alignment
- Weight of 34.6 g per unit for load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Carbon steel body with galvanization for rust resistance in dry or mildly humid environments
- Pressed steel wheel and plate construction for consistent shape and low cost
- 10 mm shaft diameter compatible with standard roller shafts and mounting systems
Quality Control
- Shaft diameter verified at 10 mm to match standard roller shafts
- Load capacity tested against the 20 kg maximum rating
- Galvanization thickness checked for uniform coverage and corrosion resistance
- Wheel diameter and width measured to ensure 38 mm and 12 mm dimensions
- Visual inspection for burrs, cracks or surface defects
Customization Options
- Available in other sizes within the W Series, such as W-50TS
- Shaft diameter can be adjusted if required for specific shaft types
- Material options limited to carbon steel with galvanization as standard
- Other load ratings available in the same series for different duty levels
Use Guide
- Ensure the shaft diameter matches 10 mm for proper fit and rotation
- 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 or cause jamming
- Check that the load per wheel does not exceed 20 kg to prevent premature wear
- Mount wheels on a straight, level track to ensure even load distribution and smooth rolling
