Wheel Block System

The DRS 160 is a high-performance, all-steel cast travel unit engineered for heavy-duty material handling. Designed with a compact 160mm wheel diameter, it serves as the backbone for automated logistics, crane systems, and rail-guided transfer machinery. Its modular architecture allows for seamless integration, enabling engineers to tailor the configuration—from the wheel tread and mounting interface to the drive connection—to meet specific operational demands.

Key Technical Advantages

Modular Versatility: The housing supports four standardized mounting interfaces (Top, Pin, Side, and End), allowing for easy installation on steel structures, hollow profiles, or specialized crane girders.

Precision Engineering: Featuring a five-sided machined housing, the unit ensures perfect alignment and optimal squareness, which prevents premature track wear and reduces system vibration.

Durable Metallurgy: Built from high-strength cast steel, the wheel block provide superior wear resistance and high impact tolerance, effectively extending the service life of the travel mechanism.

Maintenance-Free Operation: The internal assembly features life-lubricated, sealed heavy-duty bearings, effectively protecting against industrial dust, moisture, and debris in harsh environments.

High Torque Transmission: Equipped with an involute splined shaft interface, the DRS 160 ensures backlash-free, efficient power transfer from the drive motor to the travel wheel.

Technical Specifications

Standard Configuration Options

Wheel Profiles: Available in multiple configurations, including double-flanged, flangeless, and high-performance polyurethane treads for floor protection and noise reduction.

Drive Interfaces: Supports a wide range of offset or coaxial gearbox connections, ensuring compatibility with your existing drive motor infrastructure.

Adaptable Load Capacity: Engineered to sustain significant static and dynamic loads, making it ideal for the continuous duty cycles typical of stacker cranes and automated carts.

Industrial Applications

Automated Warehousing: Compact dimensions and high ground clearance make it the preferred choice for stacker crane systems.

Industrial Cranes: Provides the high rigidity and torsion resistance required for frequent start-stop operations in bridge and gantry cranes.

Extreme Environments: Proven performance in high-temperature smelting workshops and heavy-dust manufacturing zones where reliability is the top priority.
