Determining the temperature conditions

The relevant temperature for the tread is determined by diverse factors. Ambient temperature is an important factor. Another factor is the heat caused by flexing. Flexing is influenced by the length and surface properties of the distance to be covered, the material, the load, and the shape of the tread.

For example, in the case of plastics the load capacity decreases when exposed to high or low temperatures. Elastomers, on the other hand, become harder and increasing rigid at low temperatures, which limits elasticity. The operating temperature range for TENTE’s casters and wheels is stated on the respective product pages.

For extreme temperature ranges: Cold and heat-resistant casters

Some transport equipment needs to function perfectly in extremely cold or hot conditions. Such equipment includes mobile oven racks that are used in bakeries and pushed into the hot ovens, or transport racks that are exposed to freezing temperatures in cold storage rooms.

Cold and heat resistant casters from TENTE withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to +280°C. A special heat-resistant plastic or silicone rubber is used in these cases, for example. The castors and wheels are also washable so that they can be used in areas with particularly strict hygiene regulations, such as the food industry or hospitals, without any problems.

We would be happy to help you select the casters and wheels that are best suited to your specific temperature conditions. Please contact us!
