FAQ

UXY Wheel with Stainless Steel Precision Sealed Ball Bearings

What makes the UXY wheel with stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings suitable for heavy duty industrial caster applications?

The UXY wheel, available in 5×2, 6×2, and 8×2 sizes, features a polyurethane tread chemically bonded to an aluminum hub, supporting up to 1,200 lbs. per wheel (4,800 lbs. with four), ideal for heavy duty industrial caster needs. Its high-efficiency, maintenance-free stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings (SPS) ensure a quiet, smooth ride in food processing plants, hospitals, and pharmaceutical labs. The 80A Shore hardness tread rejects debris and absorbs shocks, protecting floors from scuffs, while the non-rusting aluminum hub with heatsink design ensures durability in corrosive environments. Note: Certain chemicals may react with the aluminum hub, potentially causing bonding failure—contact us for compatibility details.

Can the UXY wheel in all sizes be used as a swivel plate caster in corrosive industrial settings?

Yes, the UXY wheel in 5×2, 6×2, and 8×2 sizes is perfect for swivel plate caster setups in corrosive environments like chemical plants or marine facilities. Its polyurethane tread and high-efficiency, maintenance-free stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings (SPS) deliver low-resistance, debris-free performance, supporting up to 1,200 lbs. per wheel. The robust aluminum core and heatsink design enhance longevity, while the shock-absorbing tread minimizes floor damage, making it a top choice for heavy duty industrial caster applications.

Is the UXY wheel with stainless steel bearings a good fit for stainless steel industrial wheel applications in food processing?

Absolutely, the UXY wheel in 5×2, 6×2, and 8×2 sizes excels as a stainless steel industrial wheel for food processing environments like bakeries or dairies. Its 80A Shore hardness polyurethane tread, bonded to a non-rusting aluminum hub, resists wear in high-moisture settings. The high-efficiency, maintenance-free stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings (SPS) ensure quiet, smooth operation, while the shock-absorbing tread protects floors, supporting up to 1,200 lbs. per wheel for heavy duty casters and wheels.

How does the UXY wheel in all sizes perform as an industrial caster in pharmaceutical or cleanroom environments?

The UXY wheel, available in 5×2, 6×2, and 8×2 sizes, is a standout industrial caster for pharmaceutical manufacturing and cleanrooms. Its polyurethane tread rejects grit and dust, maintaining cleanliness, while high-efficiency, maintenance-free stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings (SPS) provide quiet, low-resistance mobility, supporting up to 1,200 lbs. per wheel. The non-rusting aluminum hub and shock-absorbing tread ensure durability and floor protection, making it ideal for heavy duty industrial caster applications in sensitive settings.

Can the UXY wheel with stainless steel bearings handle outdoor use as a heavy duty caster in marine or coastal environments?

Yes, the UXY wheel in 5×2, 6×2, and 8×2 sizes is built for outdoor heavy duty caster applications in marine or coastal settings like shipyards or ports. Its polyurethane tread and non-rusting aluminum hub resist wear in humid, salty conditions, while high-efficiency, maintenance-free stainless steel precision sealed ball bearings (SPS) ensure smooth performance, supporting up to 1,200 lbs. per wheel. The debris-rejecting tread protects surfaces, though chemical compatibility should be verified.
