Wheel Block System

The Demag DRS Wheel Block System is a classic, high-quality travel component widely utilized in industrial cranes and material handling systems. The specific model number DRS-160-A45-B-0-18B-H-A30 encapsulates all the core technical specifications of the unit.

1. Model Code Breakdown

2. Core Advantages of the Demag DRS Series

Modular Design: The hallmark of the DRS system is its "Plug & Play" capability. It is versatile enough for cranes, transfer carriages, warehouse racking, and telescopic platforms.

High Load Capacity: At standard speeds, the DRS 160 size can support several tons per wheel, depending on the travel speed and rail material.

Maintenance-Free Characteristics: Equipped with high-performance bearings and self-lubricating wheel materials (such as the "B" material mentioned above), it significantly reduces rail wear and operating noise.

Superior Alignment Precision: The housing features five machined mounting surfaces, ensuring precise alignment during installation and preventing abnormal wear caused by eccentricity.

3. Application Recommendations

This specific model is commonly paired with Demag Offset Geared Motors.

Maintenance/Replacement: If you are replacing an existing unit, double-check the wheel tread shape. Type A is double-flanged, whereas Type NA is a flat tread without flanges.

Installation Note: The DRS-160 is a mid-sized unit. Ensure the flatness of the supporting structure during installation to fully leverage its quiet operation and long service life.
