V Groove Caster Wheels |
||
|
|
||
| V-groove caster wheels are
designed to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track. Elevated
track minimizes problems caused by floor debris. The relief groove at the base
of the "V" equalizes the load on each face of the angle. Forged Steel V-groove
caster wheels minimize wear of the V-groove sides and are best for frequent
operation. When not operating on track, the considerable wheel tread on each
side of the V-groove allows for use on smooth floors. It is important that if
more than one track is used they are parallel, straight and level. Otherwise
V-groove wheels may bind or run up over the track. Tolerance should be within
plus or minus 1/64" every 20 feet. Joints between pieces of track should be
smooth and well reinforced. V-groove caster wheels are standard with straight
roller bearings, which allow only 1/16" total end play (side to side movement).
It is desirable when loads are great to use tapered bearings, which have thrust
as well as radial capacity. The proper adjustment of tapered bearings prohibits
end play. Compression must be applied to properly seat tapered bearings. This is achieved by tightening down against a bearing spacer on each side of the wheel to a maximum looseness of .010. Since tapered bearings prohibit end play, their use requires parallel track. Unless the layout is nearly perfect, it is best to use a single angle iron track for V-groove caster wheels parallel to an elevated flat bed for wheels without a V-groove. Solid Stainless wheels are standard with Stainless Roller Bearings and Spanner Bushings. |

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. 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. |
