Our wheels and wheel block systems are designed and manufactured as modular solutions for a wide variety of applications. They are used in countless mobile devices and systems – as single components or as complete travel units. They demonstrate their high reliability and long service life in operation every day – with only a minimum maintenance requirement. Simple installation and alignment, favorable dimensions and a wide variety of versatile connection options make our wheel systems particularly cost-effective. The broad range covers wheel loads up to 60 tons.
1. DRS AND DRS-M WHEEL BLOCK SYSTEMS
Our DRS wheel block system is a versatile travel wheel system for heavy-load handling applications. With the DRS-M, we have enhanced this system further and added new features to it. Both product ranges can be seamlessly integrated into Demag modular drive systems: Eight finely graded sizes provide the right wheel block for every application:
- DRS-M 112 to 200 (load capacity from 2.75 to 10 t)
- DRS 250 to 500 (load capacity from 16 to 40 t)
And the large selection of travel wheels and special wheel designs make it possible to adapt them to almost any travel rail or operating conditions. Cost-effective and ready to install. Further strengths:
- High performance range and maximum load capacity
- Many travel wheel shapes available as standard as well as customer-specific designs
- Four variants for connection to the customer’s superstructure
- High-quality housing with optimum protection for the travel wheels and bearings
- High rigidity
- Direct connection of optional accessories
- Laser alignment system for wheel blocks on multiple travel units
DRS-M wheel blocks also come with additional features:
- Flexible planning
- Thanks to integrated threaded boreholes, optional accessories such as
- guide rollers or
- rail sweepers
- Can be installed direct on the wheel block – or simply added later, as required
2. LRS TRAVEL WHEEL SYSTEM
Using our LRS travel wheel system, you can meet your drive requirements quickly and reliably for transport, feed, transfer, distribution or merge applications. We can supply you with the travel wheels and drive units to suit every application. Ready to install, tried-and-tested designs at extremely attractive prices. What other benefits does the LRS travel wheel system offer?
- Suitable for wheel loads up to 6.5 tons and travel speeds up to 240 m/min
- High-quality spheroidal-graphite cast-iron housing
- 5 connection surfaces provide for a multitude of connection variants
- Versatile thanks to the modular design
- Also ideal for OEMs
- Maintenance free
3. RS WHEEL BLOCK SYSTEM
Our RS wheel block system is suitable for applications in which a housing made of sheet steel is required, such as for impact loads. The RS system is also employed in high-temperature applications up to 250 °C or wherever a stainless steel housing is needed. Various travel wheel designs and possible connections to superstructures make the system suitable for universal applications.
Further strengths include:
- 5 sizes with load capacities from 3.5 tons to 18 tons
- housing made of steel or stainless steel
- many travel wheel contours as standard
- 4 variants for connection to the customer’s superstructure
- driven by Demag offset geared motors
- Integrated connections, e.g. for torque brackets, guide roller arrangements and buffers.
4. DWS WHEEL SETS
Our DWS wheel set performs transport duties on rails, including for heavier loads. We use it to build complete travel units of driven and non-driven design. These are equipped with our offset and angular geared motors from our modular range of industrial drives.
The use of these proven DWS series-manufactured components offers a high level of functional reliability and guarantees ease of installation when the wheel is replaced. Thanks to its versatility, the DWS wheel set is not only used in the crane and materials handling sector, but also for related mechanical engineering solutions.
- DWS wheel sets can be installed in hollow profile sections, box-section girders and used as corner-bearing travel units
- The entire wheel set can be installed without the need for complicated alignment in corner bearing arrangements
- Complete configuration with torque bracket. 3 sizes with load capacities from 28 tons to 60 tons
- The wheel sets can be installed in hollow profile sections, box-section girders and used as corner-bearing travel units. Simple track gauge adjustment thanks to interchangeable distance washers between the anti-friction bearings and retaining rings
- Rapid installation and removal of the travel wheel from the travel unit using conventional tools
- Long service life thanks to standard re-lubrication facility
- Perfect match with Demag offset or angular geared motors with the corresponding torque bracket
- Flange-wear indicator on travel wheels that have a flange
- Flange bearings provided with recesses to attach extractors
- Also available without a flange bearing for direct connection to a corresponding prepared superstructure.
