Industrial handling wheels in Cuneo: reliable technical solutions

Design and production based on drawings

The creation of custom industrial wheels allows each component to be adapted to the specific needs of the application. TEGEA develops custom wheels, taking into account technical parameters such as diameter, width, load capacity, and type of support.

The design phase includes:

• static and dynamic load analysis
• evaluation of the speed of use
• study of the type of flooring
• choosing the most suitable mix

This process allows us to obtain industrial handling wheels in Cuneo that are consistent with real operating conditions, avoiding standard solutions that are not suitable for the production context.

High performance materials: polyurethane and elastomers

Polyurethane is one of the most widely used materials in the production of industrial wheels due to its combination of elasticity and strength. Polyurethane wheels offer high load capacity and remarkable abrasion resistance, reducing wear over time even with continuous use.

Along with polyurethane, TEGEA uses various elastomeric materials selected based on the required characteristics. The main properties considered include:

• shock and vibration absorption
• resistance to oils and chemicals
• dimensional stability under load
• noise reduction during handling

Cuneo industrial handling wheels are designed to ensure a balance between structural strength and protection of contact surfaces.

Industrial applications and areas of use

Industrial wheels are used in a variety of production environments, including internal transport systems, logistics carts, machine tools, and automated systems. Proper selection of materials and dimensions improves the fluidity of movement and reduces mechanical stress on load-bearing structures.

TEGEA manufactures industrial handling wheels in Cuneo, designed for applications involving variable loads and intensive work cycles. Product customization allows us to meet specific needs, such as greater grip, smoother rolling, or greater resistance to external agents.

Quality control and reliability over time

Each wheel undergoes internal inspections to ensure compliance with the technical specifications defined during the design phase. These checks include dimensions, concentricity, material hardness, and structural integrity.

Our attention to quality control allows us to offer industrial handling wheels in Cuneo that are characterized by reliability and durability, essential elements for ensuring continuity in production processes. Precision manufacturing and careful selection of raw materials help reduce the need for corrective interventions and frequent replacements.
