Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions and specifications of the SU 653 load wheel?
A: The SU 653 is a polyurethane load wheel with dimensions of 5.000 inch outside diameter by 2.875 inch width. Inside bore diameter is 1.87 inches. The tread profile is 3/8 inch radius. It is constructed from industrial-grade Cushothane XL non-marking compound with Shore 95A hardness.
Q: Is the SU 653 equivalent to the SU 653-XL-A?
A: The SU 653-XL-A is listed as an alternate part number for the SU 653. Both wheels have identical dimensions and material specifications. Verify with your supplier that the alternate number is interchangeable for your specific application before substituting.
Q: What is the bore depth and bore outside diameter of the SU 653?
A: The SU 653 has a bore depth of 0.591 inches and a bore outside diameter of 2.045 inches. Hub width is 2.875 inches. These dimensions are critical for ensuring compatibility with your existing bearing cartridges and axle configuration.
Q: Can the SU 653 be used in wet, cold, or debris-prone environments?
A: Yes. The SU 653 is manufactured from industrial-grade non-marking polyurethane (Cushothane XL) and is rated for use in wet, cold, and debris-prone storage environments. The sealed bearing design protects against moisture infiltration and extends service life in harsh conditions.
Q: How does the Shore 95A hardness rating affect the SU 653 performance?
A: Shore 95A hardness provides a balance between traction and wear resistance. This rating is suitable for most indoor and light outdoor applications. Softer compounds (lower Shore rating) offer more traction but wear faster; harder compounds last longer but have reduced grip on polished or slippery floors.
Q: Does the SU 653 come with bearings pre-installed?
A: The SU 653 is a wheel-only component. Precision sealed bearings are pre-installed in the wheel hub for maintenance-free operation. If your existing bearings are damaged, you may need to purchase the complete SU 653-A assembly or replace the bearing cartridges separately.
