Vogthan ® wheel

Vogthan® (95 Shore A)

Vogthan® (95 Shore A)

Vogthan®: Low heat build-up, high-rebound polyurethane. Low heat generation and energy loss in continuous rolling, carries load at high speed, good fatigue resistance, handles higher speeds for short periods.

Typical Operating Conditions

  • Typical equipment: roller coaster running, guide and upstop wheels, guide wheels for special offshore equipment, high-speed rollers and drive wheels.
  • Load and speed: carries load at high speed; high dynamic loads with fast load cycles.
  • Duty: long continuous running without overheating; quiet, smooth ride.

Note: typical values measured on laboratory test specimens, for material selection only; whole-wheel performance depends on wheel diameter, tread thickness and operating conditions.

Vogthan polyurethane wheels are selected when a caster or conveyor wheel needs stable rebound without rapid tread wear. The compound suits indoor concrete and epoxy floors. Share the wheel diameter, load per wheel and duty cycle so the hub and bearing can be sized correctly.
