Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the wheel diameter and width specifications for the AS A37008-4 gravity conveyor caster?
A: The AS A37008-4 is a 6 inch diameter caster wheel with inner leg assembly. The configuration code (4) indicates a specific bore size and wheel width combination. Exact dimensions must match your gravity conveyor frame specifications. Verify bore diameter and wheel width against your equipment before ordering to ensure proper fit and performance.
Q: Which gravity conveyor equipment brands are compatible with the AS A37008-4 caster?
A: This 6 inch caster with inner leg assembly fits standard gravity conveyor frames from multiple manufacturers. Compatibility requires matching bore diameter, wheel width, and axle configuration to your conveyor model. Consult your equipment specifications sheet to confirm the AS A37008-4 configuration matches your system requirements.
Q: What wheel material is used in the AS A37008-4, and what are its performance characteristics?
A: The AS A37008-4 wheel is made from polyurethane compound formulated for gravity conveyor applications. Polyurethane provides durability, consistent rolling characteristics, and resistance to common warehouse materials and light oils. The wheel resists abrasion and maintains load-bearing capacity across standard indoor warehouse temperatures and humidity ranges.
Q: What is the typical service life of the AS A37008-4 caster wheel?
A: Under typical gravity conveyor operating conditions, the AS A37008-4 wheel lasts 12 to 36 months depending on throughput volume, product characteristics, and maintenance. High-speed or high-volume lines reduce lifespan. Proper bearing maintenance and regular cleaning extend wear life. Replace the wheel when surface wear, flat spots, or cracks appear.
Q: What routine maintenance does the AS A37008-4 caster require?
A: Inspect weekly for debris and foreign material on the wheel surface. Clean surfaces to maintain rolling efficiency. Check bearing operation for noise, resistance, or leakage. Lubricate bearings according to your equipment manufacturer specifications. Monitor wheel condition and replace when worn or damaged to prevent line slowdowns or product flow issues.
Q: Does the AS A37008-4 have cross-reference part numbers from other suppliers?
A: The AS A37008-4 is a specific configuration within the AS A37008 series. Equivalent parts exist from other suppliers, but exact cross-references depend on matching bore size, wheel width, and inner leg specifications. Check your equipment documentation for OEM part numbers, then verify dimensions and configuration code for accurate substitution.
