Description
4″ x 2″ Ductile Steel Wheel. Size shown in photo is 6 x 2.
The Ductile Steel Wheel is built for heavy-duty industrial use. It’s made from high-grade ductile steel with a tensile strength of 45,000 psi, so it lasts long and resists wear. It comes in widths of 2″, 2.5″, and 3″, and diameters from 4″ to 12″, handling loads from 1,500 lbs to 10,000 lbs based on size. You can pair it with roller, precision sealed ball, bronze, or tapered roller bearings for different needs—smooth movement, high heat, or heavy loads. It has a lubrication fitting for maintenance. It’s tough but can damage factory floors, so use it on steel plates, in channels, or as V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks.
It works in extreme conditions, taking heat up to 400°F and shrugging off impacts. Pick flat or crown tread for your surface. It’s not for protecting floors—it’s for carrying big loads reliably. Need help picking the right one? Call Caster City at 800-501-3808 or email sales@castercity.com.
Why choose ductile steel wheels for your heavy-duty operations?
Applications for Ductile Steel Wheels
- Mining Operations: Tackles heavy machinery and ore carts on brutal terrain, shrugging off impacts and grit.
- Welding Tables: Holds up under hefty metal pieces and takes the heat from welding like a champ.
- Heavy Manufacturing: Hauls oversized parts or equipment in factories where floors aren’t the priority.
- Steel Mills: Keeps moving in scorching heat, carrying molten metal or big steel loads.
- Construction Sites: Powers through uneven ground, lugging heavy stuff outdoors without a hitch.
- Industrial Ovens: Stays strong in blazing temps, shifting racks or trays in high-heat processing.
FAQ
Why Ductile Steel Wheels?
What are ductile steel wheels used for?
Ductile steel wheels are ideal for applications requiring extreme durability and high load capacity, such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, and heavy-duty industrial settings. When your application demands ductile steel wheels, floor wear is not considered too great a penalty given the tough work being done.
What sizes are available for ductile steel wheels?
Ductile steel wheels come in widths of 2, 2.5, and 3 inches, with diameters of 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches. This variety allows you to match the wheel to your specific needs.
What is the load capacity of ductile steel wheels?
Load capacities depend on width: up to 1,500 lbs for 2″ wide wheels, up to 4,000 lbs for 2.5″ wide wheels, and up to 10,000 lbs for 3″ wide wheels. Select the right size for your load requirements.
What is the tensile strength of ductile steel wheels?
Ductile steel wheels boast a tensile strength of 45,000 psi, ensuring exceptional resistance to stress and impact in demanding conditions.
What tread shapes are available for ductile steel wheels?
You can choose between flat or crown tread shapes, offering flexibility for different surface conditions and load distributions.
What bearing options are available for ductile steel wheels?
Ductile steel wheels support multiple bearing types: roller bearings, precision sealed ball bearings, bronze bearings for high-temperature environments, or tapered roller bearings. Pick the best fit for your operation.
How do ductile steel wheels compare to gray iron wheels?
Ductile steel wheels have higher ductility and tensile strength than gray iron wheels, making them more durable and better suited for heavy-duty tasks.
Can ductile steel wheels handle high temperatures?
Yes, ductile steel wheels can operate up to 400°F, depending on the application, making them a solid choice for high-heat settings.
How do ductile steel wheels affect factory floors?
Ductile steel wheels will damage most factory floors under heavy loads. They are typically used on steel plates, in channels, or as V-groove wheels rolling on inverted angle iron tracks to minimize floor impact.
What maintenance do ductile steel wheels require?
All ductile steel wheels from Caster City include a lubrication fitting, making maintenance simple and helping ensure long-lasting performance.
