Fiber-filled phenolic resin, molded under extreme pressure, gives Hamilton Plastex wheels the ability to carry heavy loads without damaging floors in intermittent service. They are non-marking, resist corrosion from oil, water, grease and commonly used acids or solvents, and will not spark. They can be operated continuously in temperatures ranging from -50° to 260° F and intermittently to 300° F.
Roller bearings are standard in all wheels (choice of straight or precision tapered roller bearings in most of the larger sizes). Tapered bearing wheels feature superior -anti-slip- installation: bearing cups are press-fit into the counterbored ends. All wheel sizes 5" and above (except 6" x 2-1/2", 6" x 3" and 8" x 3") have ball-check pressure lubrication fittings. |
Hi-Heat Plastex wheels, designed to withstand temperatures up to 475° F are shown in the chart below.
NOTE: Because of their special high heat properties these wheels are more brittle than the standard compound, and not well suited for use over rough surfaces.
Laminated Plastex treads are newly featured and shown in the last chart below. Laminated treads are made from continuous phenolic impregnated fiber laminations that are wound over standard macerated centers. The end result is a much greater resistance to fraying, with up to 35% more impact strength and 25% more capacity. |

FEATURED WHEEL BEARINGS |
 |
 |
|
Straight Roller Bearings: traditional anti-friction bearing, best for manual applications where shock loading (but no side thrust) is prevalent.
|
Tapered Roller Bearings: best for most severe heavy duty and power-towed applications
