Product Overview

The W-40PU is a metal track roller with a polyurethane (PU) coating, designed for light to medium load conveying applications where direct contact between the product and metal must be avoided. It has a 40 mm diameter, 9 mm width, and a 6 mm shaft hole, with a load capacity of 30 kg per piece. The unit is made from carbon steel with a 2 mm thick PU coating, providing a smooth, quiet roll and protection against surface damage.

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

Key Benefits

  • PU coating prevents product marking and surface damage on trays and flat items
  • 30 kg load capacity per unit suitable for light to medium load conveying
  • Carbon steel core provides strength and durability under repeated use
  • 6 mm shaft hole allows for easy mounting on standard M6 shafts
  • Compact 40 mm diameter and 9 mm width fit into tight conveyor spaces

Application Scenarios

  • Conveyor lines in packaging and assembly stations handling flat trays or small components
  • Warehouse material handling systems where product surface finish must be preserved
  • Transfer points between conveyors where smooth, quiet movement is required
  • Light-duty sorting and routing systems in logistics and distribution centers
  • Floor-mounted wheels for moving equipment or tool trolleys in industrial settings

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building low to medium load conveyors
  • Material handling equipment builders requiring non-marking rollers
  • Warehouse automation contractors installing protective conveying solutions
  • Industrial distributors stocking metal rollers with PU coating by load rating
  • Production line builders integrating rollers into assembly or inspection stations

Problems It Solves

  • Product surface damage caused by direct contact with bare metal rollers
  • Noise and vibration from metal-on-metal contact in light load conveying
  • Difficulty in moving flat, smooth items on standard rollers due to poor grip
  • Lack of consistent non-marking rollers in a single supplier range
  • Inconsistent roller performance when switching between different materials

Technical Features

  • Polyurethane coating with 2 mm thickness for wear resistance and quiet operation
  • Carbon steel body provides structural strength and load support
  • 6 mm shaft hole compatible with standard M6 shafts for easy installation
  • 40 mm diameter and 9 mm width designed for compact conveyor layouts
  • PU coating maintains grip on flat, smooth surfaces without slipping

Materials

  • Carbon steel core for structural strength and long-term use
  • Polyurethane (PU) coating for non-marking, quiet, and wear-resistant surface
  • 2 mm thick PU layer to resist abrasion and maintain roll smoothness

Quality Control

  • Coating thickness verified at 2 mm across the roller surface
  • Shaft hole diameter checked to ensure 6 mm tolerance
  • Load capacity tested to confirm 30 kg per piece rating
  • Surface finish inspected for uniformity and absence of defects
  • Rolling motion checked by hand for smooth, consistent rotation

Customization Options

  • Available in other sizes within the W Series including W-30RB and W-45RS
  • Shaft diameter can be adapted to match existing M6 shafts
  • Coating thickness may vary in other models, but not specified for W-40PU
  • Material options limited to carbon steel with PU coating as per current model

Use Guide

  • Ensure the product being conveyed has a flat, smooth bottom surface
  • Do not use on soft or uneven surfaces such as cloth-wrapped items
  • Mount on M6 shafts to ensure proper alignment and load transfer
  • Check that the roller is fully seated and rotates freely after installation
  • Use only in applications where the load per roller does not exceed 30 kg
