OW48 – Standard Materials

Omniwheel feature peripheral rollers which provide 360 degree movement & support of irregular shaped items, ideal for assembly & inspection lines, machine feed & packing areas.

Driven & Automatic Sorting systems available- contact us.

Diameter, Construction & Spacing
-Castor applications, ensure diameter is x3 minimum of ø of any step/ obstacle in primary direction of travel.
– Synchronise rollers to achieve rapid directional change.
– Omniwheel OW48-1 & OW80-1 are singilar but configure & synchronise by locking together in series.
-Other models pre-synchronised in x2, x3 & x4 construction for modular flexibility &support.

(x) Load & Roller materials
-Heavy loads require higher Shore A roller hardness, softer cushioning materials compromise load capacity.
– OW48& OW80, feature stainless steel axles, other models of non-magnetic, all-plastic construction except when specifying bearing centre hub option.

(y) Hub Centre & Inserts
-Plain bush- suffix ‘P’- for gravity conveyor applications.
-Hexagon drive- suffix ‘H’- for driven conveying.
– Sealed bearing- suffix ‘B’ for caster & trolley applications.

Accessories
-Castor brackets & fixing flanges.
– ‘Live storage’ section channels & axles.
-Specify pre-cut or custom spacer tubes to reduce density for larger rigid items.
