Nylacron Wheels

Nylacron™ (cast polyamide) wheels replace cast iron, steel, stainless steel, phenolic, solid elastomer and urethane wheels in casters and wheels where the application calls for high load capacity, impact resistance, easy rolling as well as floor protection. Nylacron™ wheels are ideal for moist environments, washdown applications and can even be used completely submerged under water. The casting process for Nylacron™ increases the load capacity over Phenolics, has no fillers and the lowest coefficient of friction. Since Nylacron™ wheels are straight sided, a wide array precision bearings can be installed in the wheel hub for far better rollability under a full load with longer life. Ergonomic safety and zero maintenance define our Nylacron™ wheels.

Solid Elastomer Wheels

Solid Elastomer Wheels have a cast blend of elastomers and other constituents to produce a better wheel than similar injected molded Solid Elastomer Wheels. They are machined straight sided and provided with Dual Sealed 6204 bearings for higher load capacities and better rollability. They are superior in performance than conventional urethane, hard rubber and phenolic wheels. They are excellent in wet environments, but do not have the load capacities of Nylacron™.

Solid Elastomer Wheel

Solid Elastomer Wheel
• Average Hardness: 55 +/- 1 Shore D
• Temperature Range: -40 to +230º F
• Ergonomic: extraordinarily easy to push; less power to tow; excellent in tow line applications
• Longer Life: Shows minimal wear in extended use. Resists abrasion, water and many hazardous chemicals. Ideal for stainless steel rig applications.
Also Available: Green or yellow anti-static wheels
