Technical Requirements and Characteristics of Forklift Wheels
Polyurethane fork wheels and forklift drive wheels are easy to wear and deform under long-term high-load movement, but the use of NDI polyurethane has excellent dynamic mechanical properties, good vibration absorption and damping effects, noise reduction, and protection. Ground, anti-compression deformation, high bearing capacity, high wear resistance, resilience, can maintain stable operation under strong impact external force and wear, can meet the ground adhesion, ground oil pollution, wet ground with water, metal fragments, different bearing capacity strength requirements.
Technical requirements for polyurethane fork wheels:
The polyurethane is cast directly on the wheel; this creates a strong bond between the polyurethane and the hub. It also ensures seamless rounds. Our polyurethane wheels have higher load-carrying capacity and are more durable than alternatives such as rubber and plastic. East Coast Polyurethane can machine wheels to provide the precise profile and surface texture required. Additionally, we have the expertise to ensure the correct type of polyurethane is used for your specific requirements. Polyurethane has a wide variety of wheels and rollers, including fork wheels, road rollers, conveyor wheels, trommel wheels, guide rollers, drive and pulleys, idlers, feed rollers, printing rollers, laundry rollers and rollers.
Features of Polyurethane Fork Wheels:
1. The physical properties of polyurethane can be flexibly changed within a certain range through the selection of raw materials and the adjustment of formula, so as to meet the unique requirements of users for the performance of rubber-coated wheels. Many users have special requirements for an important index of the product, such as hardness. Polyurethane elastomer can be processed into soft pulleys with Shore A40 or more, and can be processed into hard load wheels with Shore D80 or above. What materials are difficult to achieve, polyurethane rubber-coated wheels can meet the needs of different users.
2. Good wear resistance.
In the presence of wetting media such as water or oil, the wear resistance of polyurethane fork wheels is several to ten times that of ordinary rubber materials. Although other materials are very hard, they are not elastic and not necessarily wear-resistant. Polyurethane still maintains a certain elasticity in the case of high hardness, which also determines that it has outstanding buffering and wear-resistant properties, such as rice hulling rollers. Using other hard materials will first damage the grain and not wear-resistant, and the polyurethane rubber-coated roller will not damage the grain and wear-resistant. Elevator wheels and roller skate wheels, etc. are also used polyurethane elastomers.
3. The processing is diverse, and the scope of application is wide.
Polyurethane fork wheel elastomer is cast-molded or sprayed, potted, and centrifugally molded (referring to pouring type or CPU); it can also be made into pellets, and like ordinary plastics, it can be formed by injection, extrusion, calendering, blow molding and other processes ( Refers to TPU or extrusion). Molded or injection molded parts can also be processed by cutting, grinding, drilling and other machining within a certain hardness range. The diversity of processing makes the applicability of polyurethane elastomers very wide, and the application fields continue to expand.
4.Oil resistance, hydrolysis resistance, ozone resistance, aging resistance, radiation resistance, low temperature resistance, good sound permeability and strong bonding ability. These advantages are the reason why polyurethane fork wheel elastomers are widely used in military, aerospace, logistics, automation and other fields
