Rubber Wheels
Solid rubber wheels offer a durable ride with no possibility of tread separation. Sleeve bearings in these wheels prevent wear to the wheel bore but don't roll as easily as other bearings.
Soft wheels are shock absorbing and provide good traction on rough surfaces. Hard wheels are impact resistant and roll easily on smooth surfaces, but can be noisy and damaging to floors.

Static-Control Rubber Wheels
These wheels dissipate static to protect sensitive electronic equipment from electrostatic discharge. The soft rubber wheels are shock absorbing and provide good traction on rough surfaces. Sleeve bearings prevent wear to the wheel bore but don't roll as easily as other bearings. Wheels meet FF-C-77 and FF-C-86 which requires an average electrical resistance of less than 250,000 ohms.

Multidirectional Skate Wheels
These wheels have rollers that rotate around the wheel core to allow movement in any direction.
Wheels with a plain bore rotate freely around an axle or shaft. Wheels with a bushing bore roll more smoothly than those with a plain bore. The bushing within the wheel acts as a bearing and has less friction when it spins. The bushings are plastic, so they won’t corrode.
Wheels with two or three wheels have increased surface area, so they are stable, smooth, and less likely to slip than single wheels.
Acetal wheels resist abrasion. ABS wheels are nonmarking and acid resistant. Polyurethane wheels combine the abrasion resistance of plastic with the shock-absorbing qualities of rubber.

Flanged Skate Wheels
A flange on this wheel separates material while guiding it down the line. Wheel is nonmarking and resists acids.

Skate Wheel Conveyors
Skate wheel conveyors are for light duty loading and unloading of flat-bottom objects.
Conveyors with multidirectional wheels have rollers that rotate around the wheel core to allow movement in multiple directions. They’re good for side loading and unloading, workstations, and other situations that require multidirectional movement of items.
Steel is stronger than aluminum and provides some corrosion resistance. Aluminum is lighter than steel with better corrosion resistance. Plastic is nonmarring.
Note: Capacities are based on an evenly distributed load with at least one stand at each end for straight conveyors, and an additional stand in the center for curved conveyors. You can increase the capacity of a straight conveyor by adding a stand in the center. The length of the material you’re conveying should be at least three times the axle spacing.
