Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the wheel diameter and width specifications for the AS A37008-5 gravity conveyor caster?
A: The AS A37008-5 is a 6 inch diameter gravity conveyor caster with inner leg assembly. The configuration code (5) specifies a particular bore diameter and wheel width. Exact dimensions must be matched to your gravity conveyor frame. Verify specifications against your equipment manual before ordering to ensure proper fit and load capacity.
Q: What types of gravity conveyor systems are compatible with the AS A37008-5 caster?
A: This 6 inch caster with inner leg assembly is designed for standard gravity roller and packing conveyor frames. Compatibility requires matching bore size, wheel width, and axle specification to your conveyor configuration. Verify your equipment specs match the AS A37008-5 configuration code to confirm compatibility.
Q: What is the wheel composition and performance profile of the AS A37008-5?
A: The AS A37008-5 features a polyurethane wheel compound designed for gravity conveyor duty. Polyurethane provides good abrasion resistance, consistent rolling efficiency, and reliable load support. This material performs well in indoor warehouse conditions and resists exposure to light oils, water moisture, and common packaging materials used in distribution operations.
Q: How long can you expect the AS A37008-5 caster wheel to perform before replacement?
A: Expected wheel lifespan is 12 to 36 months under normal gravity conveyor operation. Actual lifespan depends on throughput volume, product weight, line speed, and preventive maintenance. Heavy-duty or continuous high-volume applications will result in shorter service life. Proper bearing care and regular cleaning help maximize wheel longevity.
Q: What maintenance procedures should be followed for the AS A37008-5 caster?
A: Perform weekly inspection for accumulation of debris, dust, or product material on the wheel surface. Clean surfaces regularly to maintain smooth rolling action. Inspect bearing assemblies for smooth operation and proper lubrication. Follow your equipment manufacturer recommendations for bearing maintenance intervals. Replace the wheel when surface damage, wear patterns, or cracking appears.
Q: What equivalent or cross-reference part numbers exist for the AS A37008-5?
A: The AS A37008-5 is a specific variant of the AS A37008 series. Cross-reference availability depends on matching bore diameter, wheel width, and inner leg design to other suppliers part numbers. Review your equipment documentation for original manufacturer specifications, then compare bore and width dimensions to identify compatible alternatives.
