| Product Type | C1074 cast wheel | Designed for equipment that requires a rigid, durable wheel for material handling and support. |
| Wheel Construction | Cast metal wheel with a machined or finished running surface | The rigid construction provides low rolling resistance on smooth, hard floors and supports concentrated loads. |
| Common Wheel Materials | Cast iron, cast steel, or other cast metal specified by the application | Material selection should consider load, impact, corrosion exposure, floor condition, and operating temperature. |
| Typical Wheel Diameter Range | Approximately 75–200 mm for comparable industrial cast-wheel designs | Larger diameters generally roll more easily over small floor joints and surface irregularities. |
| Typical Wheel Width Range | Approximately 25–75 mm, depending on the wheel configuration | Width influences load distribution, floor pressure, stability, and compatibility with the mounting assembly. |
| Load Capacity | Determined by wheel diameter, width, material, axle, bearing, and operating conditions | The rated capacity should be confirmed from the applicable technical drawing or test data before selection. |
| Rolling Performance | Low rolling resistance on clean, smooth, hard surfaces | Suitable for carts, racks, conveyors, and industrial equipment moved mainly on concrete, steel, or epoxy floors. |
| Shock and Noise Characteristics | Rigid cast wheels provide high impact resistance but transmit more vibration and noise than resilient wheels | Best used where durability and load support are more important than quiet operation or floor protection. |
| Temperature Suitability | Generally suitable for a wider temperature range than many rubber or plastic tread wheels | Actual limits depend on the metal grade, bearing lubricant, surface treatment, and surrounding equipment. |
| Corrosion Considerations | Bare cast metal may require protective treatment in wet or chemically exposed environments | For washdown, outdoor, or corrosive service, specify an appropriate coating, stainless components, or corrosion-resistant design. |
| Bearing Options | Plain bore, roller bearing, or ball bearing configurations may be available | Bearing selection depends on travel speed, duty cycle, load, lubrication requirements, and maintenance access. |
| Main Applications | Industrial carts, material-handling equipment, warehouse fixtures, machinery bases, and guided transport systems | Common in factories, warehouses, workshops, production lines, and other areas with hard, level flooring. |
| Floor Compatibility | Most appropriate for hard and durable floors | Not normally preferred for delicate flooring, uneven outdoor surfaces, or areas where low noise is essential. |
| Installation Requirements | Requires matching axle, bore, spacer, bracket, or caster assembly | Check bore diameter, wheel width, overall height, mounting clearance, and alignment before installation. |
| Selection Checklist | Load per wheel, floor type, travel speed, operating temperature, moisture, chemicals, and duty cycle | A correct selection balances capacity, maneuverability, service life, floor impact, maintenance, and total operating cost. |
