6" X 3" Red Ductile V-Groove Wheel - 6,000 lbs Capacity
This listing is for a 6 inch diameter by 3 inch tread width Red Ductile Iron V-Groove Wheel. These wheels are made for extreme heavy duty applications. These wheels hold 6,000 lbs capacity per wheel and have a heavy core and wheel face for industrial applications. This high capacity grooved wheel has a tensile strength of 70,000 PSI and the ductile v-groove wheels are precision machined 90 degrees with a standard 7/8" relief groove. We use all Metal Components for high temperature applications higher than 180 degrees fahrenheit. This Ductile V Groove wheel comes with a zerk / grease fitting so you can easily maintenance and grease your bearings with ease.
The wheel has a plain bore size of 1-15/16" but has two bearing options to choose from using the drop-down menu on the right hand side of this product page.
Available Bearing Options:
Roller Bearing: Needles Nose Roller Bearings are designed to be used with heavy loads in mind. These type of bearings are based around a cylinder, which allows the bearing to distribute the load over a larger area, withstanding heavy loads much easier than a ball bearing. Roller bearing are not meant to handle thrust loads which is what a ball bearing is typically used for.
Precision Bearing: Precision Bearings are able to handle both thrust and radial loads, making it a popular bearing with many production and manufacturing engineers. While Precision Ball Bearings are in motion their job is to help transfer the load from the outer raceway to the inner raceway much easier than a roller bearing. A Precision Ball Bearing allows the wheel to spin much easier than a roller bearing but they can be prone to deformation and failures when under too much weight and pressure. If the application is heavy duty with a lot of weight on the wheels we highly recommend a roller bearing instead of a precision ball bearing. Precision Ball Bearings are easier to roll, initiate, and maintain speed than a roller bearing.
