Wheel Block System

DRS-160-A35-60-K-X-A20 is a customized wheel block under the DRS series, specifically designed for rail-bound travel applications. Its core performance and adaptability strictly comply with the standard specifications of the series. The specific product features and industry applications are outlined below:

Core Product Features

1. Wheel Structure & Performance: It features a type-A double-flange travel wheel made of spheroidal graphite cast iron (ductile iron) GGG70, configured with the A35 wheel profile and 60 customized tread parameters. The dual-flange structure precisely limits rail deviation, ensuring superior guidance and stability during equipment travel. The GGG70 material delivers high strength, high wear resistance, and excellent impact resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty, high-frequency start-stop industrial rail applications. Both its load capacity and service life fully meet industry standards.

2. Installation & Compatibility Design: Utilizing the industry-standard Type-K top connection, it seamlessly adapts to the top mounting interfaces of most rail-bound travel equipment. The structure is mature, reliable, and easy to install, directly matching the standard mounting positions of the equipment, which significantly reduces on-site adaptation and commissioning costs.

3. Functionality & Drive Adaptation: As a base-function wheel block, it adopts the Type-X accessory configuration (no extra accessory mounting positions), retaining only the core travel functions. This ensures a clean, compact structure with low maintenance costs. The drive end features an A20 offset gearbox interface, allowing a direct connection with size-20 offset gearboxes for stable power transmission. It is highly compatible, aligning with the selection requirements of the DRS series size 10 to 90 offset gearboxes.

4. Standardization Advantages of the Series: Developed based on the universal DRS-160 framework, its core dimensions, tolerances, and performance parameters all follow the series standards. This allows for universal replacement with other specifications within the same series, offering high adaptability and versatility, which simplifies spare parts management and equipment upgrades.

Typical Industries & Equipment Applications

Thanks to its high load capacity, high stability, and standardized compatibility, the DRS series wheel blocks are widely used in the following industrial scenarios:

1. Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS Crane): Suitable for the horizontal travel mechanism of rail-guided stacker cranes. The dual-flange structure ensures guiding accuracy during high-speed, long-distance rail operations, while the highly wear-resistant material meets the demands of long-term, high-frequency shuttling.

2. Lifting & Material Handling Equipment: Applicable to the travel mechanisms of heavy-duty equipment such as overhead traveling cranes, gantry cranes, and rail transfer carts. The top-mounted structure withstands heavy-duty impacts and stably supports safe equipment operation.

3. Port & Logistics Equipment: Can be used in the travel systems of container gantry cranes, straddle carriers, and rail-guided logistics conveyor lines. It offers high reliability, adapting well to harsh port environments with high humidity and high dust.

4. Mining & Metallurgical Equipment: Suitable for the travel mechanisms of rail-bound mining cars and metallurgical transfer cars. The ductile iron wheel body withstands long-term tests in heavy-load and high-temperature environments, showing excellent anti-impact performance.

5. General Industrial Rail Equipment: Applicable to automated production lines, rail-guided conveyor systems, industrial robot travel axes, and other scenarios. The standardized interface allows for quick adaptation to various customized equipment needs.

Summary: 

DRS-160-A35-60-K-X-A20 is a top-mounted, double-flange wheel block adapted for offset gearboxes. Specifically designed for heavy-duty rail equipment such as stacker cranes and hoists, it features a simple, reliable structure perfectly suited for standard rail scenarios.
