What are the advantages of polyurethane drive wheels over other materials?

Polyurethane drive wheels have the following advantages over drive wheels made of other materials:
Mechanical properties
High abrasion resistance: the abrasion resistance of polyurethane drive wheels far exceeds that of drive wheels made of rubber and other materials, for example, in high-intensity friction scenarios such as logistics handling, its service life may be 2 or even 4 times that of rubber drive wheels.
High load capacity: polyurethane material is strong, the load capacity of the same size polyurethane drive wheel is much higher than that of rubber wheel, and it can work under high volume compression and very small lateral expansion.
Good impact resistance: With good impact resistance and high elasticity, it can effectively absorb impacts and maintain stability on uneven ground.
As for the running characteristics
Low noise: compared with metal wheels and nylon wheels, polyurethane wheels produce less noise when moving, which is suitable for use in medical, civic and other places that require a quiet environment.
Low rolling resistance: lower starting and rolling resistance means less energy is consumed during operation, which reduces fuel or electricity consumption and helps reduce operating costs.
Good anti-slip performance: In track and ground operation, polyurethane drive wheels have good adhesion and friction, and are less likely to slide and skid.
Environmental adaptability
Strong chemical resistance: polyurethane materials have good resistance to many chemicals and are not easy to be corroded or damaged, while materials such as rubber are prone to dissolution and other problems when they come into contact with organic solvents and other chemicals.
Anti-static: It has good anti-static performance, which can effectively eliminate the problems of static sparks generated by friction, and improve the safety in some static-sensitive environments.
Better temperature resistance: the continuous working temperature can reach 80℃ and 130℃ for a short period of time, which can maintain stable performance under higher temperature environment compared with some other materials.
Other advantages
Good environmental performance: polyurethane material has no toxic effect on human body, the manufacturing process is also more environmentally friendly, and will not leave traces on the ground.
Good surface finish and adhesion: Polyurethane drive wheels have a high surface finish and much higher adhesion to metal than ordinary materials, which maintains good stability and reduces the failure rate during operation.
