Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the wheel diameter and width specifications for the AS A37008-3 gravity conveyor caster?
A: The AS A37008-3 is a 6 inch diameter caster wheel with inner leg assembly. Exact bore and width dimensions vary by configuration code. Verify the last digit (3) against your equipment specifications to confirm bore size and wheel width match your gravity conveyor frame before ordering.
Q: Which gravity conveyor equipment brands are compatible with the AS A37008-3 caster?
A: This 6 inch caster with inner leg assembly fits standard gravity conveyor frames and roller bed systems used across multiple manufacturers. Compatibility depends on matching bore diameter, wheel width, and axle configuration to your specific conveyor model. Check your equipment documentation for caster specifications before ordering.
Q: What material composition is used in the AS A37008-3 wheel, and how does it perform in different environments?
A: The AS A37008-3 uses a polyurethane or urethane-based wheel compound designed for smooth load-bearing performance in gravity conveyor applications. Polyurethane wheels provide good grip, wear resistance, and durability on packing surfaces. Performance varies in extreme temperatures or wet conditions; consult material specifications for your operating environment.
Q: How long does the AS A37008-3 caster wheel typically last under normal gravity conveyor use?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on load volume, product type, operating speed, and maintenance practices. Under normal warehouse and light manufacturing use, a 6 inch gravity conveyor wheel typically lasts 12 to 36 months. Heavy use with abrasive or sharp-edged products will reduce lifespan. Regular cleaning and bearing maintenance extend service life.
Q: What maintenance is required to keep the AS A37008-3 caster operating efficiently?
A: Periodically inspect for debris, foreign material, and wheel wear. Clean wheel surfaces to prevent buildup that reduces rolling efficiency. Check bearing condition for noise or resistance. Lubricate bearing assemblies per equipment manufacturer guidelines. Replace the wheel when it shows flat spots, cracking, or excessive wear that impacts line speed or product control.
Q: Are there cross-reference or equivalent part numbers for the AS A37008-3 caster?
A: The AS A37008-3 is a specific configuration in the AS A37008 series. Equivalent parts may exist within different manufacturer part numbering systems, but exact cross-references depend on bore size, wheel width, and inner leg design. Verify configuration code and specifications against your equipment manual to identify true equivalents or compatible alternatives.
