Wheel Block System

Demag flangeless polyamide wheels are precision-engineered components designed to meet the demanding needs of industrial transport and handling systems. Made from high-strength nylon (polyamide), these DRS wheels combine excellent mechanical properties with quiet operation and minimal maintenance, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in modern manufacturing and logistics.

Key characteristics of demag polyamide wheels

• High mechanical strength

Polyamide wheels are known for their lightweight and impressive load-bearing capacity. They can support substantial weights without deforming, making them ideal for heavy-duty transport applications.

• Flangeless design

The trackless design allows the vehicle to travel on flat ground along a pre-designed path.

• Low rolling resistance

Nylon’s inherent low friction coefficient allows for smooth and efficient motion, which reduces wear on both the wheel and the floor and lowers energy consumption.

• Excellent wear and impact resistance

Demag polyamide wheels are resistant to abrasion and impact, extending service life even under continuous or high-speed operation.

• Chemical and temperature resistance

These wheels can withstand a wide range of chemicals and temperatures, making them suitable for environments that involve exposure to oils, solvents, or fluctuating thermal conditions.

Applicable equipment

Demag flangeless polyamide wheels are used in a variety of industrial systems, including:

• Overhead cranes and gantry cranes

• Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)

• Stacker cranes and material handling robots

• Conveyor systems and transfer shuttles

Their adaptability makes them suitable for use in both floor-based and suspended rail systems.

Ideal application scenarios

• Manufacturing plants – for moving heavy components efficiently and safely across production lines.

• Warehouse automation – enabling smooth travel in high-density storage and retrieval systems.

• Assembly lines – ensuring low-noise, non-marking mobility for component delivery.

• Food & pharmaceutical facilities – thanks to nylon’s resistance to moisture and chemicals.

• Cleanroom environments, where minimal particle emission and silent operation are essential.

Demag flangeless polyamide wheels are a reliable solution for industries seeking high-performance, low-maintenance, and long-lasting wheel components. With their robust construction and design flexibility, these wheels continue to support efficient and safe operations across a wide spectrum of industrial applications. Whether used in crane systems or automated logistics, they provide the strength and precision needed for modern industrial movement systems.
