Electrically conductive wheels and antistatic wheels and castors are used in almost every industrial setting, from medical engineering, electrical and semi-conductor industries to the automotive industry, hospitals, pharmaceuticals and other chemical industrial sectors. These wheels and castors are used everywhere protection against electrostatic discharge is required. Operators and sensitive goods are particularly susceptible to the electrostatic discharge that can be generated by transport units or by transported goods.

Generally speaking, guide rollers come in two different varieties: guide wheels and running wheels. Guide wheels are used in machines or gates to facilitate linear motion. These wheels are usually put under frequent but brief loads. Running wheels, on the other hand, are designed to withstand constant and consistent loads. They are frequently used in conveyor systems. Blickle provides a total of seven different product series with different polyurethane and nylon treads and steel or nylon wheel centres to suit a wide variety of applications and requirements. We are also an excellent partner if you need an individual customised solution. Please contact your personal adviser to find out more!

The castors and wheels which are frequently used for medium loads are often capable of transporting heavy loads, albeit generally at the cost of operational comfort. The significant weight involved also tends to have a detrimental effect on the floor. Blickle’s premium rubber wheels and castors are designed for specific applications. In addition to ensuring good floor preservation, they are also easy to manoeuvre and provide a high level of operational comfort in their class.

Light duty castors and wheels are mainly used for less demanding applications requiring a load capacity of up to 280 kg. They are designed for speeds of up to 3 km/h and therefore more frequently used indoors.Typical applications of light duty castors are medical equipment, display bases or equipment for large-scale catering establishments.
