6" x 3" Cast Iron Wheel w/ Roller Bearing - 50EE63-02

About This Wheel - 50EE63-02

Choose this 6-inch by 3-inch wide cast iron wheel for a heavy die or mold cart that has to roll, the wheel that combines maximum tread width with enough diameter to move a punishing load over a shop floor.

A die cart carries dead weight that crushes ordinary wheels, and it still has to cross floor seams and chips without stalling. This wide max-load cast iron wheel answers both: the full 3-inch tread puts the iron under the load to hold the capacity, and the 6-inch diameter gives it the roll to clear obstacles a 4-inch wheel hangs on. Solid cast iron does not deflect under the static weight, and the roller bearing inches it along. It is heavy and loud, marks the floor, and serves to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• Heavy die or mold cart rolled between press and storage
• Loaded tooling skid crossing shop seams under dead weight
• Maximum-capacity transport that crushes a narrow wheel

Skip this 3-inch series if the work runs hot; the Green cast iron 41EE62-01 holds to 500°F where this one stops at 180°F.

Pairs with: a matching 6-inch by 3-inch caster fork to build a swivel or rigid caster, from the Caster Hardware collection.
