Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the diameter and width dimensions of the AS A37008-6 gravity conveyor caster?
A: The AS A37008-6 is a 6 inch diameter caster wheel with inner leg assembly. Configuration code 6 identifies the specific bore diameter and wheel width. Exact dimensions vary by configuration. Confirm that bore size and wheel width match your gravity conveyor frame specifications before ordering.
Q: Which gravity conveyor equipment is the AS A37008-6 caster designed to fit?
A: This 6 inch caster with inner leg assembly is compatible with standard gravity conveyor frames and roller bed systems used across multiple manufacturers. Fitment requires matching bore diameter, wheel width, and axle configuration. Verify your equipment specifications match the AS A37008-6 configuration before purchase.
Q: What is the wheel material and its performance characteristics for the AS A37008-6?
A: The AS A37008-6 wheel is constructed from polyurethane compound engineered for gravity conveyor duty. Polyurethane offers good grip, wear resistance, and consistent rolling performance. This material withstands typical warehouse temperatures, light oil exposure, and moisture without degradation, making it suitable for most indoor material handling environments.
Q: What is the expected service life of the AS A37008-6 caster wheel?
A: Under standard gravity conveyor operating conditions, the AS A37008-6 wheel typically lasts 12 to 36 months. Service life varies with conveyor throughput, product characteristics, line speed, and maintenance quality. High-volume or heavy-load operations shorten lifespan. Regular bearing maintenance and cleaning extend usable life before replacement is necessary.
Q: What maintenance procedures are recommended for the AS A37008-6 caster?
A: Inspect the wheel weekly for accumulated debris, dust, or product material. Clean wheel surfaces to maintain efficient rolling. Check bearing operation for smooth performance and proper lubrication status. Follow your equipment manufacturer guidelines for bearing maintenance. Replace the wheel when wear patterns, flat spots, or surface cracks develop.
Q: Are there alternative part numbers or cross-references for the AS A37008-6?
A: The AS A37008-6 is one configuration of the AS A37008 series. Cross-reference parts depend on matching bore size, wheel width, and inner leg specifications. Compare your equipment OEM part number against bore and width dimensions to identify compatible alternatives or equivalent parts from other suppliers.
