Wheel Block System

DRS 112 wheel blocks are precision-engineered, modular travel units designed for industrial material handling, offering robust cast steel construction and versatile mounting options for seamless integration into rail-bound transfer carts and automated warehouse systems.

Advantages of DRS 112 Wheel Blocks

Precision Bearing Configuration: These units employ lifetime-lubricated deep-groove ball bearings to ensure consistent long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.

Flexible Drive Options: The system provides both driven and non-driven (idler) configurations, allowing for highly flexible integration into various transport system architectures.

Travel Wheel Shapes and Design: The series offers seven distinct shapes and design (A, B, D, E, S, F, and C) to satisfy diverse guidance and travel needs:

Type A: Features double flanges for secure guidance in rail systems.

Type B: Designed without flanges, allowing for the addition of side guide rollers or custom profile specifications.

Type D: Utilizes a single flange, primarily for ground-based rail systems.

Type E: Features a large-diameter, flangeless design to increase ground clearance.

Type S: Offers special profiles (V-shape, trapezoidal, or concave) tailored for specific guidance applications.

Type F: Utilizes flangeless wheels with Hydropur tires to enable high acceleration and quiet operation.

Type C: Employs flangeless, concave polyamide wheels that ensure quiet running while minimizing track wear.

Versatile Connection Variants: The system provides four standard connection methods, including top (K), pin (B), end (S), and side (W) connections.

Robust Structural Protection: The housing utilizes a fully enclosed, five-sided cast steel design that effectively protects internal components from mechanical damage and environmental debris.

Applications of DRS 112 Wheel Blocks

To achieve optimal operational performance, operators should select wheel materials based on their specific rail and environmental conditions. For ground-level or flat-surface operations, high-performance polyurethane (PU) wheels are recommended, as they offer ultra-quiet operation, floor protection, and high traction, making them ideal for warehouse shuttles, and cleanroom automation. For steel rail applications, high-strength cast steel wheels are the preferred choice, as they deliver the extreme load-bearing capacity and durability required for rail-bound transfer carts, overhead cranes, and large-scale industrial transport systems.

The Demag DRS 112 serves as more than just a travel unit; it acts as the cornerstone for ensuring your automated equipment operates with 24/7 stability and efficiency. By integrating a modular design with exceptional durability, it simplifies complex drive logistics, helping you achieve lower operating costs (OPEX) and maintain a competitive edge in your industry. Request a Quick Quote.
