In principle v groove wheels are designed to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron tracks or round iron bars.
Inverted angle iron track.
V groove surface and face are machine finished.
These wheels handle loads from 800 to 6 000 lbs.
V track can be fabricated out of angle iron and flat bar if you like doing your own welding or you can buy prefabricated sections to install using concrete anchors.
V groove wheels finished with green alkyd enamel are designed for track or floor operation on inverted angle iron track in production lines and are also used with hand or conveyor trucks.
A relief groove in the v assures proper weight distribution and makes wheel and track self cleaning while a partial flat tread permits rolling the wheels directly on floors as well.
Track sections under 8 long can be shipped ups for a reasonable cost but.
Essentially if groove wheels are used on a flat surface then it becomes a regular wheel caster.
Cast iron and steel v groove wheels are the most.
Elevated track minimizes problems caused by floor debris.
Elevated track minimizes problems caused by floor debris.
Most v groove wheels also have sufficient flat surfacing on the sides of the groove to allow for rolling on floors when off the track.
V groove wheels or casters are named for the v shaped groove that allows for riding along an inverted angle rail or track.
The relief groove at the base of the v equalizes the load on each face of the angle.
They are also used with hand or conveyor trucks.
Running v grooved wheels on inverted angle iron track is a popular and low cost method of taking loads off the floor and creating production line flow.
Inverted angle iron and v grooved wheels combine to create effective in plant production flow.
What is the function of the v groove.
The relief groove at the base of the v equalizes the load on each face of the angle.
V groove surface and face are machine finished.
V groove caster wheels are designed to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track.
Forged steel v groove caster wheels minimize wear of the v groove sides and are best for frequent operation.
Most companies simply hot dip galvanize the track although liftmaster sells theirs with a black finish.
Hard rubber and sometimes plastic.
V groove caster wheels are designed to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track.
Wheels are cast with reinforced section at maximum stress points.
V groove wheels are for track or floor operation on inverted angle iron track in production lines.
