Nylacron™ Wheels
Acorn™ Industrial Products Co has been the leading manufacturer in the utilization of cast polyamides for caster and wheel applications in the USA since 1990 under the trademark name Nylacron™. Nylacron™ Blue is heat-stabilized and stress relieved cast nylon 6. This feature makes Nylacron™ Blue wheels unique in the industry. Download the Nylacron Wheels PDF.

Nylacron™ is a registered trademark of Acorn Industrial Products Co.
Every Nylacron™ wheel is labeled to insure genuine Acorn™ product specifications and quality.

Ergonomic Safety and Zero Maintenance:
Nylacron™ wheels replace cast iron, steel, stainless steel, phenolic, solid elastomer and urethane wheels in casters and wheels where the application calls for high load capacity, impact resistance, easy rolling as well as floor protection. Nylacron™ wheels are ideal for moist environments, washdown applications and can even be used completely submerged under water. The casting process for Nylacron™ increases the load capacity over Phenolics, has no fillers and the lowest coefficient of friction. Since Nylacron™ wheels are straight sided, a wide array precision bearings can be installed in the wheel hub for far better rollability under a full load with longer life. Ergonomic safety and zero maintenance define our Nylacron™ wheels.

Acorn's Production Facility & Capabilities:
Acorn has state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing and production facilities to produce standard and custom Nylacron™ wheels in both short and long runs as required. We can produce Nylacron™ wheels in any diameter up to 51” with sealed precision ball bearings (standard and stainless steel). Nylacron™ wheels are suitable for use in any caster rig presently in service or required in both the USA and Blickle®pe. Acorn’s wheel division makes all its own bushings on CNCs to fit any wheel to the inside hub length of the caster rig.

Heavy Duty Nylacron™ Wheels are made of tough hard, highly compressed cast polyamide (NY/MD) or heat stabilized (high temp blue) to replace steel, phenolic, solid elastomer and urethane wheels where very high load capacities, floor protection, low rolling resistance, impact proof, corrosive resistance and floor conditions allow. The casting process increases the load capacity compared to injection-molded nylon and has better properties in regard to tension and pressure, modulus of elasticity, thermoform stability, coefficient of friction, flow properties and absorption of humidity.

Features
• Ergonomic: Extraordinarily easy to push - no more back aches - less power to tow.
• Wheels: Wheel dampens shock and vibration thus reducing noise.
• High Impact Strength: Resists fracture from repeated shock loads.
• Higher Loads: Mechanical strength supports greater weight and allows better utilization in caster rigs.
• Higher Resilience: Wheel returns to original shape without deforming when deflected by loads or rapidly applied stresses.
• High Caster Ratings: Higher wheel ratings allow better utilization of caster rig ratings.
• Floor Protective: Material does not damage floors and is lighter in weight than steel.
• Longer Life: Shows minimal wear in extended use-resists abrasion,water and many hazardous chemicals.Ideal for stainless steel rigs applications.
• Lower Maintenance: Sealed precision bearings and minimal wheels wear greatly reduces in-plant maintenance requirements.Only one type wheel needed.
• Hardness: 112-120 Rockwell R
• Temperature range: -30 to + 220 º F Continuous -30 to + 4000 º F Continuous NY/HT (3” to 8”)
