Polyamide Wheels and Castors

Our polyamide wheels are made of high-quality injection-moulded polyamide 6 or hard and tough, highly compressed cast polyamide PA 6 (solid material). Polyamide (PA 6) is often used in pharmaceutical and food industries as well as in industrial applications requiring high load-bearing capacity. Depending on series, the wheels are optionally available with a plain bearings, roller bearings or deep groove ball bearings. On request, some versions of the wheels can also be produced with stainless steel bearings. The polyamide wheels are characterised by their high load capacities, low rollingresistance and high abrasion resistance. Polyamide can be used at temperatures form -40°C to +100°C, however the load capacity will be reduced at ambient temperatures of more than +35°C.

The housings of our polyamide castors are made of strong, pressed sheet steel or as a robust welded steel construction. They are availabe as swivel castors, swivel castors with brakes and/or fixed castors. The wheel axles of our housings are bolted.

We are also specialised in manufacturing special castors and turned parts according to customers' drawings, even in small quantities, made of polyamide PA 6.

• Polyamide wheels turned from high-quality injection-moulded or from tough, highly compressed cast polyamide PA6 solid material. The wheels are temperature resistant from -40°C to +80°C. Due to their high load-bearing capacity, the polyamide wheels can be used in many different ways. Often they are used for very special industrial applications and in the food and pharmaceutical sector.
• Housing variants: very robust, pressed sheet steel housings, electrogalvanized, swivel head without central pin, with double hardened and closed ball ring, thus dust- and splash-proof and very resistant against impacts and shocks, wheel axles are bolted, with mounting plate, bolt hole or threaded pin, also available as welded steel construction with axial deep groove ball bearings DIN 711 and taper roller bearing DIN 720, with grease nipple, dust- and splash-proof.
• Available as single or double castors
• Production of special rollers, rope rollers, flanged wheels and turned parts on request according to customer drawings and even in small quantities.
