Tailored Solutions

Demag wheel range features precise positioning, low noise and compact structure, meeting the needs of modern theater stage scenery to dynamic background wall movement, and improving the artistry and efficiency of theater stage systems.

Why choose Demag wheel sets for theatre and stage applications?

• Whisper-quiet operation for live performances

Demag wheel blocks are designed with high-precision bearings and optimized gear systems to ensure smooth, low-noise motion. This makes them ideal for operation during live performances, where silence is essential to maintaining audience immersion.

• Compact and concealable design

The compact form factor of the Demag wheel units allows for easy integration into the structure of stage elements—beneath moving platforms, within set walls, or along sliding rails—without compromising the aesthetic of the set design.

• Accurate positioning and smooth control

The wheel sets support variable speed control and synchronised motion, enabling set pieces to glide into position with millimetre precision. This ensures seamless scene transitions and dynamic stage effects with no sudden jerks or delays.

• Customisable for diverse requirements

Demag wheels are available in multiple sizes, materials, and configurations to accommodate a wide variety of theatre set designs—from lightweight backdrops to massive rotating towers.

Key design features of the Demag wheel set range

• Modular system: Wheel sets are available in various sizes (e.G., DRS 112, 160, 200, 315) and load capacities, allowing for easy customization based on stage equipment weight and layout.

• Multiple wheel materials: Choose from steel wheels, polyurethane-coated wheels, or polyamide wheels, depending on the need for quiet operation, floor protection, or load capacity.

• Precision bearings: High-quality sealed bearings ensure smooth, maintenance-free rotation even under continuous use.

• Optional hollow shaft design: Allows direct motor connection, reducing footprint and improving space efficiency for tight stage constructions.

• Durable housing: Corrosion-resistant, powder-coated or galvanized steel housings are ideal for long-term use under theatrical rigging and lighting conditions.

• Integrated limit stops and buffers: Prevent mechanical overload and ensure safety during high-speed or high-frequency movement.
