K41 Polyurethane On Cast Iron Caster

Product Description:

The K41 series heavy duty polyurethane caster features a large top plate and raceways, which together provide easy swiveling and strength with a full double-level ball bearing and heat-treated raceway.

Advantages:

Load-bearing Structure:

In contrast to the typical series, the K41 heavy duty industrial caster chassis components are made of thick, heavy-duty, industrial-grade steel. The top plate is 6-8mm thick, the bracket 5.5-7.5mm thick, and combined with a hydraulically riveted kingpin with a diameter of up to 18/24mm, the whole thing provides very high structural stability and resistance to shear.

Heat-Treated Double Raceway:

The swivel head consists of a large-diameter top plate and two layers of steel ball raceway, with the raceway being hardened and deep heat-treated. Apart from increasing the impact strength of the structure, this solution also resulted in a heavy-load steering problem being solved, thus making the operation easier.

High-Performance Cast Iron Core Wheels:

Wheel cores are made of cast iron, which is a very strong material, and the outside is covered with high-quality polyurethane. This combination marries the ultimate load-bearing capacity of cast iron and the ground-friendly nature of polyurethane, giving excellent wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance.

Full Size Coverage:

Sizes 6 inches to 12 inches can be found in the K41 series. The 10-inch and 12-inch sizes are meant for very large pieces of equipment and guarantee that the vehicle will be able to go and stand even under high loads.

Flexible Braking Options:

You can also choose the front braking system UWB, which quickly locks the wheels, assuring the safety of heavy equipment on slopes or job site locations.

41 Series Professional Selection Recommendations:

Step 1: Determine Load Capacity Requirements:

500kg - 600kg: Opt for either 150mm (6") or 200mm (8") sizes. Both of these sizes offer a perfect mixture between flexibility and strength, which is just right for material handling carts that are moved very often.

750kg - 800kg: 250mm (10") or 300mm (12") sizes must be selected. The larger diameter wheel (300mm) has a height of 355.5mm, hence it is able to provide better structural support.

Step 2: Choose Wheel Surface Shape (PI vs UC):

The flat wheel should be chosen if the material is PI (Flat PU). There is a more extensive surface in contact, the load is distributed evenly, and the stability is higher, which makes it perfect for long-lasting static loading or low-speed linear movement.

Choose UC (Crowned PU) if the wheel is crowned. There is conversely a lesser contact area, thus a lower friction resistance during turning, and it is suitable for situations that require Frequent changes of direction or manual ‍‌pushing.

Step3: Check Mounting Plate:

Specification 01: The 6-inch and 8-inch models are the targeted products. The base plate measures 160×115mm. Multi-hole adaptability feature (from 133.8×85.4mm to 126.2×62mm) allows you to easily replace the heavy caster wheel on the old equipment.

Specification 02: 10-inch and 12-inch heavy-duty models only. Base plate size is 180×170mm, and the fixing bolts are thicker, Ø17 ones, in order to withstand extremely heavy loads.

Step 4: Consideration of the Application Environment

Use in equipped drying (Dryers): wheel material temperature resistance limit should be confirmed through customer service.

Powered traction (Tractor/AGV): It is advisable to select UC crowned wheels to save motor turning load and use excellent bearings.
