DRS Rimless Travel Wheel Block

The DRS Rimless Travel Wheel Block is a compact and modular wheel system designed for a wide range of material handling and transportation applications. Unlike conventional wheel blocks with flanges or rims, the rimless design allows for greater flexibility in layout, reduced installation constraints, and enhanced operational smoothness. It is particularly suited for integration into cranes, transfer cars, and other mobile equipment requiring precise movement and robust load capacity.

Key Features:

1.Rimless Design for Enhanced Flexibility

The absence of a guiding flange allows the wheel to operate freely along a guided rail or within a fixed path system.

Ideal for systems using external guiding mechanisms (such as track or guide rollers), reducing wear on the wheels.

2.High Load Capacity

Engineered for medium to heavy-duty applications, DRS rimless wheel blocks can support significant static and dynamic loads.

Load capacities typically range from 2.75 tons to over 40 tons, depending on the selected model and wheel diameter.

3.Modular Housing Concept

The wheel block is built around a modular steel housing, which can be customized or adapted to different structural designs.

Multiple mounting options (side, top, or bottom) offer installation versatility.

4.Durable Wheel Material Options

Wheels are available in hardened steel or special alloyed materials for optimal wear resistance.

Can be tailored with special coatings or treatments depending on environmental conditions (e.g., corrosion-resistant for outdoor use).

5.Sealed Bearing Units

Each wheel block is equipped with maintenance-free, sealed anti-friction bearings for long service life and minimal downtime.

6.Optional Drive Integration

The system is compatible with Demag or third-party geared motors and couplings.

Rimless wheel blocks can be used as either driven or non-driven wheels, offering design flexibility.

7.Smooth and Quiet Operation

The rimless configuration reduces metal-on-metal contact and minimizes vibration, contributing to smoother and quieter motion.

8.Applications

Overhead traveling cranes

Gantry cranes

Transfer trolleys

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)

Process machinery requiring linear motion systems

Advantages at a Glance:

Compact and space-saving structure

Easy to integrate into various designs

Reduced wheel and rail wear

Suitable for straight-line and curved travel paths

Wide range of wheel diameters and load capacities

Low maintenance and high reliability
