These Conventional Moldon rubber caster
wheels have soft rubber tires molded onto iron centers. Soft rubber provides
more desirable operating characteristics than any other wheel material. It is
quiet, absorbs shock (prolonging equipment life and protecting cargo), can roll
over small objects, protects costly floor surfaces, and minimizes vibration.
The Conventional Moldon rubber caster wheel falls short of perfection in its
limitation under load - it does not roll easily. Load capacity ratings do not
take into account the effort required to manually move a load (drawbar pull
measured in pounds). If cargo is to be moved manually on Conventional Moldon
rubber caster wheels, reduce capacity ratings by 50% and select the largest
practical wheel diameter. These caster wheels should not be left standing under
load for extended periods as the tires may take a permanent "set" or develop
flat spots. They can be used on almost any dry factory floor. The bonding agent
which holds the rubber tire to its iron center can be affected by exposure to
some chemicals, impact, overloading, and the buildup of heat. Tire hardness is
65 to 75 Durometer, Shore A. Temperature range is -20° to 159°
F.
In practice, employees will load equipment
only to the capacity that they can move. For maximum productivity and return on
your investment consider our easy rolling PREMIUM rubber
caster wheels. Also consider our non marking Gray
Rubber and Super Cushion Rubber Caster Wheels.
Other bearing and
wheel sizes are available on request.
You should never select on the basis of load capacity
alone. Capacity ratings do not take into account the effort required to
manually move a load (drawbar pull). Reduce capacity ratings by 50% if cargo is
to be moved manually on these rubber tired wheels. Capacity ratings are based
on manual operation under ideal conditions. If these wheels are going to be
moved by mechanically powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity
rating based on your application.
