Advantages of Wheels with Plain Bearing
Plain bearing wheels use a straightforward bushing interface between the hub and axle – no balls, no rollers. The load is carried over a broad contact surface, which makes the design inherently tough, tolerant of dirt and moisture, and easy to keep running. Wheels with a plain bearing are a smart choice for low-speed equipment with modest steering demands, where rugged reliability matters more than high-speed performance or ultra-low rolling resistance. TENTE wheels with plain bearings offer various benefits:
Low Maintenance – With no delicate rolling elements, there is little to adjust or wear out. Properly matched bush materials and lubrication keep the wheel running smoothly over long intervals, reducing downtime and service effort.
Cost-Efficient – The simplified construction lowers manufacturing complexity and parts count. Fewer wear components mean predictable costs over time – ideal where durable mobility across a large fleet is needed.
Shock-Absorbing – The continuous bearing surface spreads impact loads, resisting indentation and deformation. This robustness helps maintain consistent rolling behaviour on harsh floors and through frequent stop-start use.
Corrosion Resistance – Bushings can be supplied in polymer, metal, or sintered variants, and stainless steel options are available for wet or hygiene-sensitive environments. The result is dependable mobility even where moisture and cleaning cycles are part of daily operation.
Types of Wheels with Plain Bearing
Wheels with plain bearing come in a wide variety of constructions, each optimised to specific operating conditions and performance goals. At TENTE, we offer plain bearing wheels in multiple wheel materials, tread hardnesses, diameters, and hub options to meet the demands of different applications and industries. Whether the priority is quiet, non-marking travel on delicate floors, resistance to moisture and chemicals in hygiene-critical areas, or rugged performance for outdoor and industrial use, each variant provides its own balance of load capacity, rolling effort, and durability. Below are some of the commonly used wheels with plain bearing:
Polyamide Wheels with Plain Bearing
A one-piece polyamide construction with a plain bearing delivers high stiffness, compact build height, and hard, precise running – ideal when maximum load density and dimensional stability are the priority. Among our product offerings, the TENTE UOO series serves as a prime example of polyamide wheels with a plain bearing. These wheels are available in wheel diameters from 80 mm to 200 mm – with load capacity ranging from 200 kg to 800 kg depending on the size.
Solid Rubber Wheels with Plain Bearing
Combining a polypropylene centre with a non-marking solid rubber tread, these wheels offer quiet, floor-friendly rolling with simple upkeep – well suited to low-speed movement on harder floors. Within our selection, the PIO series stands out as a notable example. These solid rubber tread wheels are available in wheel diameters of 80 mm to 200 mm. Their load capacity ranges from 70 kg to 205 kg per wheel, depending on the size.
Thermoplastic Rubber Wheels with Plain Bearing
Thermoplastic rubber (TENTEprene) on a polypropylene centre with a plain bearing provides low-noise, non-marking travel and easy rolling, making these wheels ideal for clean, sensitive floor environments. The PJO wheel series is one example from our product portfolio. Wheel diameters span from 50 mm to 150 mm with representative load figures of 50 kg to 100 kg – depending on the configuration.
Fields of Application for Plain Bearing Wheels
Wheels with plain bearing are a practical choice wherever durability, low upkeep, and dependable load support outweigh the need for high-speed manoeuvring. Their straightforward bushing interface delivers consistent performance in industrial manufacturing and material handling – for example, moving transport equipment, and assembly fixtures with steady, low-effort rolling. In hygiene-focused operations, corrosion-resistant options (such as polyamide wheels) stand up to frequent wash-downs, making them well suited to catering carts and meal delivery systems. They also see regular use in distribution and retail settings – from hardware-dealer and do-it-yourself-store environments to store fixtures – where compact design, smooth mobility, and reliable load capacity are essential.
