Dual Flanged and U-Groove Wheels

In industries where precision and smooth operation are paramount, our Dual Flanged or U-Groove Wheel offers a reliable solution for traversing along straight or curved tracks of round tubing or pipe. Engineered with precision, these wheels improve material handling and reduce ergonomic risks. They also help maximize your return on investment.

Dual flanged or U-Groove wheels run on a rail system. They position fixtures accurately for indexing during each work cycle. We use premium cast iron and steel to manufacture the wheels, ensuring high strength and long wear.

To select the ideal wheel for your application, consider the following factors:

  1. Load Capacity: Determine the maximum load weight to be supported and choose wheels with a suitable load rating.
  2. Operating Environment: Consider the conditions in which the wheels will be used, such as temperature, moisture, and exposure to chemicals or abrasives.
  3. Track Configuration: Assess the shape and dimensions of the tubed track, including any curves or bends, to ensure proper wheel fitment.
  4. Frequency of Use: High-frequency operation may require wheels with more robust bearings and enhanced durability.

We offer various bore sizes and can key-way the wheels as needed to suit your application.

Dual Flanged and U-Groove Wheels

Overview

Dual Flanged Wheels or U-Groove Wheels running on in-plant tracks give an “instant production line.” Loads are taken off the floor, permitting higher capacities, easier rolling, floor protection, and controlled flow all at the same time.

Their unique design ensures integration with tubing or tracks, minimizing the risk of derailment and enhancing operational safety. By reducing the potential for accidents and injuries, Dual Flanged and U-Grooved Wheels contribute to a safer work environment and lower operational costs. 

Standard flanged caster/heavy duty groove wheels are cast iron except as noted and are furnished with plain bore, straight roller bearings, or precision tapered roller bearings. Heat treating is available for applications requiring better wear resistance or involving higher capacities.

Application

Excellent for precise alignment of work, captive turntables or repetitive processes, including foundry cooling lines.
