Polyurethane Wheels

Polyurethane Wheels

Five reasons to use polyurethane walking wheels in heavy industrial applications:

1. The industrial wheel uses polyurethane walking wheel, which has better noise reduction effect.

Compared with harder wheels such as steel or cast iron, polyurethane coated wheels are a popular choice in industrial applications because of their quiet operation. Polyurethane acts as a shock absorber and helps cushion the ride. It can also absorb the bumps of uneven terrain. Using polyurethane instead of steel or cast iron wheels can significantly reduce noise levels to help protect employees' hearing.

2. The carrying capacity of polyurethane walking wheel is higher.

Compared with rubber, polyurethane walking wheels are also often utilized for their carrying capacity. Polyurethane can provide greater load carrying capacity while still providing the benefits of rubber tread, such as noise reduction, shock absorption, and floor protection.

3. The use of polyurethane coated heavy driving wheel, can better protect the ground

Polyurethane tires are suitable for applications where floor protection is critical. Polyurethane deflects and creates a larger footprint than harder wheel materials such as nylon. A larger surface area helps reduce stress concentration on the floor and keeps them in better shape for longer. For plants where flooring is expensive and critical to your operations, polyurethane tires may be the first choice.

4. Polyurethane walking wheel has stronger load capacity.

Another benefit of polyurethane walking wheels in industrial applications is the friction coefficient of the material. This value describes the ratio of the friction force between two objects to the force holding them together. Rougher surfaces tend to have higher effective values, while smoother surfaces have lower effective values because they create friction when pressed together.

Polyurethane-coated wheels tend to be a grip material, so their higher coefficient of friction helps prevent trailers from turning over. For harder wheel materials, sliding can be an important consideration. Polyurethane also provides excellent traction for the drive wheels and helps reduce the load on the wheels to achieve the required driving force.

5. In special areas, polyurethane adhesive has stronger corrosion resistance.

There are many different types of polyurethanes that have varying degrees of resistance to specific environments or conditions. For example, chemicals, solvents, and even water. (We've listed a few different types below). In wet or humid environments, some polyurethanes will not break down or corrode in the presence of water. In cases where chemical exposure is a problem, different types of polyurethane can be used to extend the life of the wheel.

Polyurethane walking wheels have many advantages in industrial wheel and castor applications, and some of the more popular reasons are discussed above. Polyurethane can provide corrosion resistance, floor protection and noise reduction while providing a material that can handle large volumes. Switching to polyurethane tires can have a huge impact on your operational success.
