VPA…-EL – Wheel and caster series

Electrically conductive wheels and casters with solid rubber tire and synthetic rim

The wheels in the VPA series use a tire made of high-quality solid rubber with a hardness of 80 Shore A, cast onto a polypropylene rim. The VPA series is characterised by low rolling and swivel resistance. The electrically conductive rim and tread give these wheels a maximum resistance of 104 ohms.

The casters in the VPA…-EL series are frequently used for measuring and testing equipment or devices used in the pharmaceutical sector.

  • VPA…-EL – Wheels

    The standard wheel sizes in the VPA…-EL series range between 2 to 6 inch. A ball bearing is used as standard.
