Nylon wheel

The following is a detailed introduction about nylon wheels:

Classification of nylon wheels

Classified by structure

Laminated wheels: They are made by coating industrial white clean cloth with roller glue, then stacking and pressing each piece one by one, baking and curing in an oven, and finally punching and cutting. It has stronger cutting force and is more economical, and is easy to install. However, the line texture is relatively coarse, and the gloss and service life are not as good as those of the winding wheel. It is mainly used for grinding and sanding purposes where there are certain requirements for the surface but the requirements are not very high.

• Winding wheel: After passing through the same coating method, it is wound into a rod on a specially made tube core and baked and cured. The lines are finer, brighter and have a longer lifespan. They are mainly used for deburring and fine surface treatment. However, they need to be installed on the equipment in conjunction with flanges and have certain requirements for the equipment.

Classified by abrasive particle size, density and size

Abrasive particle size: Domestic nylon wheels are often classified by abrasive particle size, with the particle size typically ranging from P120 to P400.

Density: Generally referred to as hardness in China, it is classified into 2P-12P, among which 9P, 7P and 5P are more widely used.

Size: Generally measured in inches. In China, the commonly used outer diameters are 8 ", 10 ", and 12 ". Abroad, small-sized composite wheels are more widely used, such as 2 ", 3 ", 4 ", and 6 ", etc. The thickness ranges from 1/2 "to 2", and there are also products from 3 "to 5".

The characteristics of nylon wheels

Superior mechanical properties

Light weight: Easy to install and replace. Under the same diameter, the weight of nylon wheels is only about half that of steel wheels, which can reduce the weight of the equipment.

High strength: It can withstand large loads and driving pressures, has good tensile and impact resistance, and is not prone to cracking when subjected to external force impacts.

Good wear resistance: The surface of nylon wheels is smooth, with a low friction coefficient and excellent self-lubricating performance, which can effectively reduce wear and can be used for a long time on flat and smooth roads.

Good chemical stability: The hydrolytic stability of nylon material is enhanced, and it is less likely to deform or lose strength in a humid environment like polyurethane wheels. However, its tolerance to oil and certain chemical substances is relatively low, and there are certain limitations on the usage environment.

Convenient for processing and use: It can be manufactured through injection molding, extrusion and pressing processes. Among them, the injection molding process has a high production efficiency, and the nylon wheels produced have a more uniform density and more stable quality. Moreover, the nylon wheels are easy to install. They can be fixed to the shaft by bolts or rivets and can also be combined and installed as needed.

The application fields of nylon wheels

Grinding and polishing field: It is often used for the post-sanding treatment of grinding wheels and abrasive belts, as well as the pre-treatment of electroplating and mirror polishing. It can perform surface treatment on various metals such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, titanium alloy, cast iron, and carbon steel. The processed lines have good ornamental value and are widely used in the post-treatment of household hardware products.

In the field of mechanical transmission: It serves as a transmission component in various mechanical equipment such as textile machinery, food machinery, packaging machinery, printing machinery, and mining machinery, used to transmit power and withstand tension, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

Other fields: It can be used in households to clean surfaces such as glass, floors, and furniture. It is also applied in logistics and handling equipment, such as pulley devices in furniture, washing machines, air conditioners, warehouses and other places.
