Anti-static polyurethane wheels offer durability, load-bearing capacity, and abrasion resistance for installation in environments where controlling static electricity is critical to protecting sensitive equipment, ensuring safety, and maintaining product quality. They are commonly used on workbenches, carts, trolleys, storage units, and racks in industries such as electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, chemical handling, precision equipment transportation, and the pharmaceutical industry. . These wheels prevent sensitive materials (such as medical devices, electronics, and hazardous chemicals) from generating static electricity during movement, minimizing the risk of electrostatic discharge that could cause equipment damage, contamination, or safety hazards.
Materials and static electricity generation:
Polyurethane metal wheels: Polyurethane wheels on aluminum, stainless, and iron can generate static electricity, especially in environments such as electronic manufacturing, cleanrooms, and chemical processing facilities. The metal components May facilitate the accumulation of static charges, increasing the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Features of antistatic urethane wheels:
• Conductivity: These heavy material handling wheels contain conductive fillers or use special manufacturing processes to effectively dissipate static into the ground, preventing buildup.
• Abrasion and chemical resistance: Antistatic polyurethane drive caster wheels maintain the durability and chemical resistance of traditional polyurethane wheels while ensuring static safety.
• Reliability: Specially designed high-speed non marking polyurethane wheels ensure static is safely discharged, reducing equipment damage and accidents.
In heavy-duty industries, antistatic polyurethane wheels are essential for:
• Protecting sensitive equipment: By preventing static buildup, these wheels safeguard delicate electronic components and medical devices from potential damage caused by ESD.
• Ensuring safety in hazardous environments: In chemical manufacturing or storage facilities, static electricity poses a fire or explosion risk. Antistatic polyurethane wheels safely dissipate static, reducing these potential hazards.
• Maintaining cleanroom integrity: In cleanrooms, static electricity can attract contaminants to equipment and products, affecting production quality. Antistatic polyurethane wheels ensure that material handling does not generate static, maintaining a clean and controlled environment.
