Electrically conductive wheels and antistatic wheels and castors are used in almost every industrial setting, from medical engineering, electrical and semi-conductor industries to the automotive industry, hospitals, pharmaceuticals and other chemical industrial sectors. These wheels and castors are used everywhere protection against electrostatic discharge is required. Operators and sensitive goods are particularly susceptible to the electrostatic discharge that can be generated by transport units or by transported goods.

Material: Housing steel plate. Wheels with thermoplastic rubber tread. Wheel body polypropylene. Version: Housing press formed. Double ball bearing in the castor head. Plain bearing in wheels. Note: Wheel axle threaded. Swivel and fixed castors with bolt hole. Electrically conductive wheels, non-marking grey. The ohmic resistance of the wheel is less than 10⁴Ω. Application: Electrically conductive wheels on swivel and fixed castors are used to protect against electrostatic discharge generated by transport equipment or the transported goods. Damage to sensitive goods and painful electrostatic shocks to the personal is so prevented.

The SVS wheel series is primarily used for heavy duty applications requiring extremely high load capacities of up to 15,000 kg. They are typically used in machine and systems engineering. Their resistance to a wide range of aggressive substances also makes them suitable for use in applications which require resistance to chipping and oil. Despite their exceptional load capacities, only minimal effort is required on smooth surfaces to move transport units with SVS castors. The rugged grey cast iron series is extremely wear-resistant and is also capable of withstanding temperatures of between -25°C and 120°C.
