Highest abrasion resistance Vulkollan® tread drive wheels are heavy-duty wheels engineered for high-performance industrial applications. They feature a Vulkollan tread, a premium-grade polyurethane elastomer known for its exceptional mechanical strength, elasticity, and outstanding abrasion resistance. These wheels are designed for drive applications where traction, load-bearing capacity, and longevity are critical, making them ideal for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), forklifts, conveyor systems, and material handling equipment.
Key Features & Properties
1.Material: Vulkollan® Elastomer
Hardness: Typically 92°–95° Shore A.
Abrasion Resistance: Extremely high; significantly better than standard polyurethane.
Tear & Cut Resistance: Excellent resistance against chunking, tearing, and cutting under heavy loads.
Compression Set: Low, ensuring dimensional stability even under continuous load.
Temperature Range: -20°C to +80°C (short-term up to +120°C).
2.Core Construction
Usually steel or cast iron core for rigidity and strength.
Bonded with high-performance adhesive to ensure strong tread-to-core adhesion.
3.Load Capacity
Designed to handle extremely heavy loads without deformation.
Suitable for continuous operation under high dynamic stress.
4.Traction & Noise
Provides excellent traction for precise drive control.
Operates quietly compared to metal or hard plastic wheels.
5.Chemical Resistance
Good resistance to oils, greases, and many industrial chemicals.
Not suitable for strong acids, alkalis, or hot water exposure.
Advantages Over Conventional Polyurethane Wheels
5–10 times longer lifespan under abrasive conditions.
Higher tear resistance, reducing downtime for replacements.
Minimal heat build-up, even at high speeds or under heavy loads.
Applications
AGVs & Automated Systems – Ensures reliable performance in 24/7 operations.
Forklifts & Material Handling Vehicles – Handles high loads with minimal wear.
Warehouse & Distribution Centers – Offers long service life under high-frequency usage.
Industrial Conveyor Systems – Ideal for demanding, high-friction environments.
Highest abrasion resistance Vulkollan tread drive wheels combine extreme durability, load capacity, and traction performance, making them the preferred choice for heavy-duty, high-speed, and continuous industrial applications.
