Plastic wheel and injection molding
Short Description:
Plastic wheels are widely used because of their easy manufacture, low cost, good shock, noise absorption and light weight. Injection molding is the main method of producing plastic wheel. The injection molding process of plastic wheel is also widely used.The injection molding process of plastic wheel includes common injection molding, insert injection molding and two-color injection molding.
Plastic wheels are widely used because of their easy manufacture, low cost, good shock, noise absorption and light weight. Injection molding is the main method of producing plastic wheel. The plastic wheel injection molding process is also widely used.
Generally wheel is are made of steel, aluminum alloy, plastic and wood. Compared with service life, production cost and user experience , wood has been eliminated because of poor durability, and poor resistance to water and fire. For aluminum, its load-bearing and wear resistance is not good.
Nowadays, mood wheel and aluminum wheel are gradually replaced by plastics wheel and steel. EXpcept large load-bearing equipment or precision machine parts such as cars, tanks and aircraft, Plastic wheel have been widely used in machinery, electronics, and People's lives.
Plastic wheel is manufactured by injection molding. Plastic wheel of the same size only weigh one-seventh and one-sixth of the weight of steel wheel, one-third and one-half of the weight of aluminum wheel. Moreover, plastic will not rust. There are many types plastic resin with different characteristics , and parts that are easy to get different colors .
Most importantly, the good plasticity of plastics allows mass production at lower cost by mold injection molding. Injection molding can achieve good consistency in size and performance.
In addition, can take embedded metal parts or more than two kinds of plastic secondary molding, get comprehensive mechanical properties, appearance of a variety of products.
Tips of plastic wheel design
1) . shaft hole design
2) . thickness and hub design
3) . metal insert positioning
4) . draft angle and parting line position design
5) . stripe direction design of circular wheel surface
6) . material selection
Material selection of plastic wheels
1. For load-bearing wheels:
Material selection: nylon or nylon + metal insert.
Example: manual fork wheels, wheels and load-bearing wheels in the factory.
Manual forklift and wheels
2. wheel for industrial purposes:
Material: Nylon, POM, PP
Example: friction wheel, rollers, steering wheel, etc
Plastic wheels used in industrial
3. Generally bearing wheel:
Material: ABS, PP, Nylon+ metal inserts
Example: Baby stroller, seat, cupboard.
Baby stroller and wheels
4. Ordinary wheel that bear light weight or little movement.
Material: ABS, PP, PVC
Example: toy wheel, massage wheel.
Toy and plastic wheel
Several techniques to be considered in injection molding process of plastic wheel
