Flange Structure Polyurethane Drive Wheels

Flange structure polyurethane drive wheels are a kind of power transmission wheel that combines flange design with polyurethane material. Its core is supported by a metal hub (such as cast iron or aluminum alloy), and the outer layer is covered with highly elastic polyurethane material through a coating or casting process to form a wear-resistant and impact-resistant driving surface. The flange structure can effectively prevent the wheel body from derailing or side sliding during operation through the raised edge design, while enhancing the stable connection between the wheel body and the drive shaft, chain or gear to ensure efficient power transmission. The polyurethane material gives it excellent wear resistance, high load-bearing capacity and shock-absorbing and noise-reducing characteristics, and is widely used in AGV automatic guided vehicles, industrial conveying equipment, automated production lines and other scenes that require precise driving and durability.

The production process of flange structure polyurethane drive wheels mainly includes the following steps: first, the metal wheel hub (usually cast iron or aluminum alloy) is manufactured by casting or precision machining, and the surface is pre-treated by sandblasting, rust removal, etc. to enhance adhesion; then the metal wheel hub is placed in a customized mold, and the liquid polyurethane raw material is evenly coated on the surface of the wheel hub by pouring or injection molding, and a dense elastic layer is formed by precise temperature control curing; after curing, the dimensional accuracy and surface flatness of the rim and flange structure are ensured by turning, grinding, etc., and finally the dynamic balance test and load performance test are carried out. The key process points are the control of the interface bonding strength between metal and polyurethane, the bubble-free molding of the material, and the optimization of hardness uniformity to meet the requirements of wear resistance, impact resistance and power transmission stability in high-load drive scenarios.

Advantages of flange structure polyurethane drive wheels

  ● The flange structure design can increase the friction between the wheel and the track or the ground, effectively prevent the wheel from deviating from the track or slipping, and ensure that the equipment maintains stable and precise control during operation.

  ● Polyurethane material has excellent wear resistance and can maintain long-term good performance under high load and high frequency use, reducing the need for frequent wheel replacement.

  ● With lower noise level, smoother and quieter operation, it is particularly suitable for working environments that need to reduce noise interference.

  ● Resistant to oil, corrosion and aging, it can work stably for a long time in humid, high temperature or chemical environments;

  ● Standardized modular design supports fast disassembly and assembly, compatible with a variety of industrial equipment, and reduces downtime and labor costs.
