Electrically Conductive Wheels

The conductive rubber models have a 3 4 5 and 6 wheel option with a thread guard for added protection.

Electrically conductive wheels.

Sleeve bearings prevent wear to the wheel bore but don t roll as easily as other bearings. Conductive wheels allow charges to go to ground more easily and so protect against shock or damage to equipment sensitive to electrostatic discharge esd. Sirius esd electrostatic dissipating wheels allow static electricity to flow through the caster wheel tread and release into conductive flooring.

In the case of non conductive materials elements can be added to ensure that the castors and wheels are electrically conductive. A wheel or a castor is considered to be electrically conductive in line with standards for wheels and castors din en 12530 12533 if its ohmic resistance does not exceed 10 4 ω product code suffix. With electrically conductive wheels on assembly carts is important for electronics companies medical engineering and other industries to eliminate static build up and discharge that can be generated by transport durastar s duratek conductive wheel is non marking floor protective quiet and smooth operation there is no longer a need for chains or straps that can break or become entangled. The soft rubber wheels are shock absorbing and provide good traction on rough surfaces.

Electrically conductive wheels in grey and black for loads of up to 520kg per wheel. Esd wheels and conductive wheels are important for medical engineering electrical industry hospital equipment chemical plants or any other areas where electrostatic build up is an issue. The electrically conductive rhombus 380 series won a reddot design award for its style and function and these casters have a positive wheel. A wheel or a castor is regarded as having antistatic properties if its ohmic resistance does not exceed 10 7 ω product code suffix.

Capacities for these wheels range from 190 pounds to 260 pounds.
