Part of the Metal Roller Wheel range, used in Conveyor OEMs and System Integrators.
Key Benefits
- Rubber coating prevents direct metal contact with conveyed products
- 10 kg load capacity per wheel for light to medium duty applications
- 6 mm shaft hole fits M6 shafts commonly used in conveyor systems
- Carbon steel core provides structural strength and durability
- Natural rubber coating reduces noise and protects product surfaces
Application Scenarios
- Conveyor lines in packaging stations moving flat trays or small components
- Assembly line transfer points where product surface protection is required
- Warehouse trolleys or carts transporting flat, smooth items on a floor
- Light-duty material handling equipment where vibration and noise must be minimized
- Conveyor systems in clean or sensitive environments where product marking must be avoided
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building low to medium load conveyors
- Material handling equipment builders needing surface-protecting wheels
- Warehouse and logistics contractors setting up light-duty transport systems
- Industrial distributors stocking metal roller wheels by load and size
- Manufacturers of small production lines requiring quiet, low-friction movement
Problems It Solves
- Products damaged by direct contact with bare metal rollers during transport
- Noise and vibration from metal-on-metal contact in light conveyance systems
- Need for a simple, low-cost wheel that protects flat or delicate surfaces
- Inconsistent performance when using generic or non-standard wheels
- Difficulty in mounting wheels with standard shaft sizes in existing conveyor frames
Technical Features
- Natural rubber coating with 3.5 mm thickness for cushioning and grip
- 45 mm diameter and 12 mm width for compact integration in narrow conveyors
- 6 mm shaft hole compatible with M6 shafts used in standard conveyor builds
- Carbon steel core provides rigidity and load support under 10 kg per unit
- Smooth rubber surface reduces rolling resistance and noise during operation
Materials
- Carbon steel core for structural strength and long-term use in industrial environments
- Natural rubber coating to protect product surfaces and reduce noise
- Rubber layer designed for low to medium load applications only
Quality Control
- Load capacity tested against the 10 kg per piece rating
- Rubber coating inspected for even thickness and adhesion
- Shaft hole measured to confirm 6 mm diameter and roundness
- Surface finish checked for smoothness and absence of defects
Customization Options
- Available in other sizes within the W Series, such as W-30RB and W-40PU
- Shaft size can be adapted if required, but not specified in current data
- Rubber thickness and material may vary in other models, but not available for this unit
Use Guide
- Ensure the shaft diameter matches M6 for proper fit and alignment
- Do not exceed 10 kg per wheel to avoid rubber deformation or failure
- Use only on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays or rigid packaging
- Avoid use on soft, uneven, or flexible materials that may damage the rubber
- Inspect rubber coating regularly for wear and replace when surface is worn or cracked

Compared With Other Options
| Uncoated metal roller wheels | The W-45RS protects product surfaces and reduces noise, while uncoated wheels risk marking or damaging items |
|---|---|
| Plastic roller wheels | The W-45RS offers higher load capacity and better durability than typical plastic wheels, but may be noisier if not properly maintained |
| Higher load rated metal wheels | The W-45RS is suited for light to medium loads; heavier applications require wheels with higher load ratings and different materials |
