_caster wheels
Don't settle for imitation "K" wheels! Get the original Kryptane Systems and forget your caster application problems.
Features Include:
- Proprietary formulation with physical properties and manufacturing processes engineered exclusively for caster wheels.
- One piece design eliminates bond failure commonly found in elastomer tread wheels with rigid hubs. Handle high impact, heavy loads. Do not mar floors or floor coatings. Quiet roll with or without bearings.
- Cost efficient. Light weight and long lasting. A strong performer under a wide range of conditions.
- Resist abrasion and compression set flat spotting. Repel dirt, cleans easily and withstands extreme temperature changes.
- Meet FDA requirements. Ideally suited for the food processing industry. Stand up to cooking, refrigeration and steam cleaning.
- Custom applications and designs welcome.
Physical Properties of Wheels
Hardness |
55 Shore D |
Temperature Range |
-50° F to 180° F continuous, up to 250° F intermitten |
Abrasion Resistance |
Highest Possible. Tests indicate that 10 months use on rough concrete will wear less than 0.050" compared to 1.000" of a macerated canvas phenolic. |
Impact Resistance |
Impacts that de-bond urethane tread/aluminium hub, chip phenolic, and dent polyolefin will not effect Kryptane Systems wheels. |
Flat Spotting |
None under suggested load and temperature conditions. |
Tensile Strength |
4000 PSI |
Chemical Resistance |
Suitable for all use in all environments with the exception of continuous exposure to strong acids, bases or aromatic hydocarbons. |
Concentrated Load |
4,000 lbs. applied on a work floor produced no permanent deformation. |
Resilience |
Extremely high rebound translates into less energy required to move your load. |
Noise Level |
Less than steel, phenolic, polyolefin, nylon and other urethanes. |
Bearings |
Although the caster wheel material itself is capable of handling the published load rating, it is noted that in plain bore applications the rollability will be decreased under maximum load. Rolling resistance in a given application should be tested for acceptance. Kryptane Systems wheels are bore sized to accept numerous bearing types, or the material is easily machined and adaptable to virtually any requirement. |
