NYLACRON WHEELS

  • NYLACRON WHEELS NY/MD AND NY/HSB LOAD CAPACITY:Up to 26,400 lbs.
  • NYLACRON MD/FLANGED NY/NL & NY/ND LOAD CAPACITY:Up to 3,000 lbs.
  • Nylacron wheels are also available In Flanged / V-groove and custom sizes to 51" diameter to meet job requirements.
  • Nylacron Wheels design and manufactured by Acorn available in any size to fit any caster rig or wheel application and replace any type wheel.
  • Capacities can be increased by increasing the size of the precision bearings or by providing double row precision bearings.
  • End caps provided with each wheel to fit in rig width and size of the axle.
  • Can be made to metric sizes.
  • Applications:Aerospace, Fisheries, AGV, Food, Amusement Rides, Meat Processing, Automotive, Monorail Conveyors, Bakeries, Pharmaceutical, Chemical Plants, Retrieval Systems, Conveyor, Storage Racks, Crane, Towlines, Dairy, Turning Platforms.
  • Ergonomic:Extraordinarily easy to push. No more backaches - less power to tow.
  • Quiet:Wheel dampens shock and vibration thus reducing noise.
  • High Impact Strength:Resists fracture from repeated shock loads.
  • Higher Loads:Mechanical strength supports greater weight and allows better utilization in caster rigs.
  • Higher Resilience:Wheel returns to original shape without deforming when deflected by loads or rapidly applied stresses.
  • High Caster Ratings:Higher wheel ratings allow better utilization of caster rig ratings.
  • Floor Protective:Material does not damage floors and is lighter in weight than steel.
  • Longer Life:Shows minimal wear in extended use–resists abrasion, water and many hazardous chemicals. Ideal for stainless steel rig applications.
  • Lower Maintenance:Sealed precision bearings and wheels greatly reduce in-plant maintenance requirements. Only one type wheel needed.
  • Hardness:112-120 Rockwell R.
  • Temperature range:-30 to +220º F Continuous -30 to +400ºF Continuous NY/HT (3" to 8")
  • Chemical Resistance:Download PDF to see chart for wide range of chemical resistance
  • Heavy Duty Nylacron Wheels:Made of tough, hard, highly compressed cast polyamide, MD (MoS2) filled or heat stabilized (high temp blue) to replace Steel, Phenolic, Solid Elastomer and Urethane Wheels, where very high load capacities, floor protection, low rolling resistance, impact proof, corrosive resistance and floor conditions allow. The casting process increases the load capacity compared to injection-molded nylon and has better properties in regard to tension and pressure, modulus of elasticity, thermoform stability, coefficient of friction, flow properties and absorption of humidity.
  • Nylacron Monocast (NY/MC) Natural Wheels:Unfilled cast type 6 nylon developed on proven in the field for FDA application requirements. Wheels are straight sided and precision machined on CNC equipment to exact tolerances and comply with section 177.1500 of food additive regulations. Stainless steel precision ball bearings are available for every wheel. Other than the type material, loadings and other characteristics are similar to Nylacron MD.
  • Heavy Duty Nylacron Flanged Wheels:Straight sided and designed to operate quietly on steel track. All are precision machined on CNC equipment for concentricity and ensure proper tracking. Wheels are made of tough, hard, highly compressed cast polyamide, (MoS2) filled, heat stabilized and designed to replace Steel, Phenolics, Solid Elastomers and Urethane Wheels in flanged applications, where very high load capacities, low rolling resistance, impact proof, corrosive resistance and speed conditions allow. Custom requirements to drawings available.
  • Nylacron Monocast (NY/MC/VG) V-Groove Wheels:Straight sided and designed to operate quietly on steel track. All are precision machined on CNC equipment for concentricity and ensure proper tracking. Wheels are made of tough hard, highly compressed cast polyamide, (MoS2) filled, heat stabilized and designed to replace Steel, Phenolics, Solid Elastomers and Urethane Wheels in V-groove applications where very high load capacities, low rolling resistance, impact proof, corrosive resistance and speed conditions allow.
