Publish Time: 2022-05-21     Origin: Site

Wheels for forklifts is to bear the weight of the forklift, and through the friction between the forklift tires and the ground, drive the forklift, steer, and transmit the driving torque and braking torque, ease and absorb the vibration and impact generated by the uneven road surface, so that the forklift can travel smoothly, and the polyurethane drive wheels have the general characteristics of wear resistance, good elasticity, corrosion resistance, low noise, and can also be customized according to the customer's requirements for use of anti-static, adsorption, high friction and suitable for different environments. They can also be customized according to the customer's requirements of anti-static, adsorption, greater friction, and applicable to different environments. The following is the introduction of polyurethane drive wheels.

Here is the content list:

Material of polyurethane drive wheel

The polyurethane drive wheel material contains groups in the polyurethane macromolecule that are all strongly polar groups, and the macromolecule also contains polyether or polyester flexible chain segments. It is made by the organic di- or polyisocyanate and di- or polyhydroxy compounds polymerization. It can be used in the manufacture of plastics, rubber, fibers, rigid and flexible foams, adhesives and coatings, etc.

Polyurethane macromolecules contain strongly polar groups, and they also contain polyether or polyester flexible chain segments. Polyurethane is formed by the polymerization of isocyanates (monomers) with hydroxyl compounds. As it contains strong polar urethane groups, it is insoluble in non-polar groups and has good oil resistance, toughness, abrasion resistance, aging resistance, and adhesion. Different raw materials can be used to produce a wide temperature range (-50 ~ 150 ℃) of materials, including elastomers, thermoplastic resins, and thermosetting resins. They are not resistant to hydrolysis at high temperatures and are not resistant to alkaline media.

Performance of polyurethane drive wheels

Polyurethane drive wheelshave high mechanical strength and oxidation stability, high flexibility and resilience, excellent oil resistance, solvent resistance, water resistance, and fire resistance. Because of its many excellent properties, polyurethane has a wide range of applications.

Application of polyurethane drive wheels

Polyurethane drive wheels are used in combination with drive motors to form drive assemblies for forklifts and other industrial transport vehicles. The tread is molded with NDI polyurethane material, which is heavy-duty, can work for a long time, does not contaminate the ground, resists tearing, does not delaminate, is resistant to oil and dirt, has low resistance, and is super wear-resistant.

Precautions for using polyurethane drive wheels

1、Appropriate load-bearing load

The possible load-bearing load introduced by the product is the general load that is easy to move when carried on flat ground by manual operation, and at the same time is the general load that can carry out such handling work in a safe state for a long time. It is necessary to estimate the total weight of the objects to be carried in advance, and then choose the appropriate polyurethane drive wheel for forklifts according to the allowed load.

2、About speed

The requirements for the speed of the polyurethane drive wheel are general use in a normal temperature environment, at a speed no higher than walking speed, on a flat surface, with a certain stopping working condition.

Polyurethane drive wheels for forklifts are becoming more and more popular, if you have trouble picking forklift wheels, try choosing polyurethane drive wheels for forklifts! Hope this little introduction will help you!
