Wheel Block System

In modern industrial logistics and automated production lines, the stability and modularity of travel mechanisms directly determine the operational efficiency of the entire system. As a benchmark in the material handling industry, Demag's DRS wheel block system has earned global acclaim for its exceptional industrial design. This article takes the core model DRS 112-MA30-A-47-K-H-A10 as an example to deeply analyze the technical logic and application value behind it.

I. Model Decoding: Industrial Intelligence Behind Standardization

The model code represents a precise technical configuration:

II. Core Technical Advantages

1. Highly Efficient Torque Transmission

The MA30 spline shaft design provides a larger contact area and more uniform load distribution compared to traditional keyed shafts. In working conditions involving frequent starts and stops, this design effectively prevents fatigue damage to the shaft end, ensuring long-term stable torque transmission.

2. Superior Materials and Wear Resistance

The travel wheels are made of GGG 70 spheroidal graphite cast iron, a material known for its high load-bearing capacity and excellent self-lubricating characteristics. Combined with the A-47 double-flange design, the wheel block can automatically correct its travel path during operation, significantly reducing rail wear.

3. Minimalist Modular Installation

The K-type (Top Connection) design allows engineers to fix the wheel block directly under steel structures via bolts, greatly simplifying the assembly process. Meanwhile, the high-quality die-cast aluminum housing reduces dead weight while maintaining strength, enhancing the dynamic response of the entire machine.

III. Typical Application Scenarios

Thanks to the versatile configuration of the DRS 112-MA30-A-47-K-H-A10. it is widely utilized in:

Automated Warehousing: Serving as the core travel unit for shuttles or small stacker cranes.

Automotive Production Lines: Used for mobile workbenches or horizontal transport of heavy materials.

Crane End Carriages: Acting as the travel mechanism core for light-duty single-girder cranes.
