Description
The VS Ductile Steel V-Groove Wheel is built to handle heavy loads up to 7,000 lbs per wheel on inverted angle iron tracks, making it your go-to for guided movement in tough industrial jobs. Available in 2-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3-inch widths with diameters up to 10 inches, this wheel is designed for straight-line towing or back-and-forth motion in abusive settings—think boat building, steel mills, or heavy manufacturing. Ductile steel construction takes on shock loads and impacts without flinching, and the V-groove tread lets it roll on smooth floors when off tracks. With straight roller bearings as standard (or tapered bearings for heavy loads), it ensures smooth operation, but tracks must be aligned within ±1/64″ every 20 feet to avoid binding.
This wheel is made for the harshest environments, supporting applications like yacht hull transport, telescope roof movement, or moving aircraft components in aerospace. It’s a top pick for automotive tow-lines, observatories, and defense setups, delivering stable, guided motion for your heaviest loads. Use a 2″ x 2″ angle iron track (3/8” thick, groove width 1-3/4”, A=23/32”, B=29/32”, C=1-5/32”) to keep floors safe, and pair with a flat bed for non-V-groove wheels if your layout isn’t perfect. For powered equipment or custom track setups, contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 or sales@castercity.com. Order online and tackle the toughest jobs with confidence.
FAQ
VS Ductile Steel V-Groove Wheel (Wheel-Only)
What is the weight capacity of the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
The VS ductile steel V-groove wheel supports up to 7,000 lbs per wheel under ideal conditions (smooth tracks, manual movement at 3 mph). For specific load ratings or powered applications, contact Caster City at 800-501-3808.
What sizes are available for the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
The VS V-groove wheel comes in 2-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3-inch widths, with diameters up to 10 inches. Pick the size that fits your load and track setup—larger diameters handle heavier loads better.
What material is the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel made from?
It’s made from ductile steel, designed to handle abusive conditions like shock loads, impacts, or poor floors while minimizing wear on V-groove tracks, ensuring long-lasting performance.
What bearings are used in the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
It uses straight roller bearings as standard, allowing 1/16″ total end play for smooth operation. For heavy loads, tapered bearings are available for radial and thrust support—call Caster City at 800-501-3808 to customize.
Can the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel operate in harsh environments?
Yes, ductile steel is built for tough environments like steel mills, boat building, or heavy manufacturing, handling shock loads and impacts. Tracks must be aligned within ±1/64″ every 20 feet to prevent binding—email Caster City at sales@castercity.com for advice.
How does the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel protect factory floors?
Ductile steel can damage floors, so use on angle iron tracks (e.g., 2″ x 2″, 3/8” thick, groove width 1-3/4”, A=23/32”, B=29/32”, C=1-5/32”) to protect surfaces. Off tracks, the tread on either side of the V-groove allows use on smooth floors.
Which industries use the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
It’s a go-to for boat/yacht building, observatories, automotive, aerospace, heavy manufacturing, steel mills, and defense, where guided movement on tracks is essential for heavy, abusive applications.
What are the primary applications for the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel?
It’s ideal for straight-line towing or back-and-forth motion in boat/yacht building (hull transport), observatories (telescope roofs), automotive tow-lines (vehicle parts), aerospace (aircraft components), heavy manufacturing (machinery carts), steel mills (molten metal loads), and defense (fortifications).
Can the VS ductile steel V-groove wheel be used with mechanically powered equipment?
It’s designed for manual towing on tracks, but ductile steel wheels can handle powered equipment if tracks are perfectly aligned. Consult Caster City at 800-501-3808 to ensure a safe setup for powered applications.
