11.1 GuideRollers
Standard guide roller assemblies are individually designed for each wheel
size and to take the same horizontal forces as seen on the end truck. The
guiderollerassemblyisboltedtotheRTN20endtruck,andweldedtothe
RTN25,andtheRTN32endtruck.The rollerscanbeadjustedintheradial
direction by 3/16 [5 mm]. Guide rollers are typically mounted to only
oneofthepairofendtrucks.
Theguiderollerscanbeusedonaweldedorclampedrunwayrail,butthe

case by case. The guide rollers must be mentioned separately on the end

11.2 PolyurethaneFlatWheels
The RSN/RTN end trucks can be equipped with special wheels that have the running surfaces coated
with polyurethane plastic. Polyurethane coated wheels are available for wheel diameters that range
from160mmto315mm.Boththeidleranddrivewheelsareavailableasflangeless.Thewheelbody

14 WheelBlocks
14.1 General
Wheel blocks can be used for bridge or trolley construction, or for nonstandard material handling
applications.Thewheelblocks,whichareavailableinsixdifferentwheeldiameters,incorporatearobust
design,compactconstruction,lowmaintenance,andexcellentreliability.Thewheelblocksareenclosed
onsixsidesensuringframestabilityanddimensionalaccuracy.
Mountingtothewheelblockscanbedonethroughavarietyofconnectionarrangementsusingwelds,
bolts,orpins.Thestandardwheelcomeswithflangesandthewidthofthegroovecutintothewheelis
to match the specified rail size or type. The wheel block comes with either a drive wheel or an idler
wheel.
The GES series drive will be used to drive the wheel block. The motor can be either inverterduty for
invertercontrolsortwospeedmotorforcontactorcontrols.Motorsarewithplugsforcableconnection.
Controls,bumpers,andotherelectricalormechanicaloptionsareavailable.
14.2 Wheels
The wheel blocks come in six different wheel diameters 125, 160, 200, 250, 315, and 400 mm. The
standard wheel has double flanges and a flat tread. The actual groove width cut into the wheel will
depend on the actual rail size or type specified. The available groove widths for the various wheel
diametersarelistedintheSpecificationssection.
Adjustableguiderollersareavailableasanalternativetothestandardwheelorforwiderrails.Wheels
are flangeless. The antiderail devices for wheel blocks with guide rollers are different than the anti
deraildevicesforwheelblockswithstandardwheels.
ThematerialforthestandardwheelisENGJS700(ductileiron)withspheroidalgraphite.Thehardness
of the wheel is 240300 BHN. The selflubricating characteristic of the wheel material ensures a long
servicelife.
