Looking for a reliable drive wheel that doesn’t wear out under pressure? Our polyurethane drive wheels are engineered for long service life, exceptional load capacity, and excellent traction. Whether you need custom bores, keyways, or complete OEM drive assemblies, we manufacture to your exact specs—reducing downtime.
Custom Molded Polyurethane Drive Wheels
We specialize in manufacturing high-performance Polyurethane Drive Wheels designed to meet the demands of OEM machinery and automated systems. we provide custom drive wheels with tailored dimensions, hardness, and core materials.
Polyurethane Drive Wheel
We manufacture durable urethane drive wheels for industrial drive systems. Customers often require wheels that are long-lasting, have high traction, and won't wear out under load. Our custom molded solutions reduce downtime, outperform rubber in harsh environments, and provide excellent abrasion resistance and vibration dampening.
Drive Wheels
These wheels are ideal for mounting directly on the shaft. We offer polyurethane drive wheels with pre-machined keyways or bushings for easy installation, wear resistance, and noise reduction, making them ideal for automation or conveyor systems.
Keyed Drive Wheels
We supply keyed polyurethane wheels that lock directly onto shafts, eliminating slippage. Customers need secure, quick-install drive wheels for automated systems. Our PU formula resists wear and vibration, ensuring longer service and smoother power transfer.
Bore Drive Wheels
We make polyurethane bore drive wheels with precision-matched shaft fits. These wheels solve misalignment and wear issues often found in standard options. Clients get long-lasting, vibration-dampening performance with exact bore specs for seamless integration in their machines.
Urethane Molded Drive Wheels
Our molded drive wheels are fully customizable—from tread hardness to core bonding. Customers choose us when standard wheels won’t fit. We tailor urethane drive wheels to exact requirements, delivering superior durability and load-bearing for industrial and robotic systems.
Heavy Duty Polyurethane Wheels
We manufacture heavy-duty polyurethane wheels for high-load environments. Customers in logistics and heavy machinery rely on our wheels for their load resilience, abrasion resistance, and consistent performance under tough conditions where rubber fails.
Why Choose Our Polyurethane Drive Wheels?
- Superior Abrasion Resistance- Outlasts rubber, plastic, or metal wheels.
- High Load Capacity- Supports heavy-duty applications without deformation.
- Custom Molded Options- Designed to your specifications (hardness, bore, keyway).
- Low Noise & Vibration- Reduces equipment noise and extends bearing life.
- Seamless Integration- Options for bushings, bearings, shafts, and hubs.
Applications of Polyurethane Drive Wheels
- Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
- Packaging machinery
- Conveyor drives
- Printing presses
- Robotic systems
- Material handling equipment
Customize Polyurethane Idler Wheels
Designed for passive rotation, our polyurethane idler wheels guide and support without driving. Customers in conveyors and rollers need low-maintenance, quiet, and durable options—polyurethane delivers all three, plus better wear life and shock absorption than plastic or metal alternatives.
PU Idler Wheels are used in support roles. Customers often seek durable, maintenance-free rollers. Our polyurethane idler wheels reduce wear, noise, and vibration compared to metal or plastic, improving system performance over time.
We produce PU idler wheels with bearings for quiet, smooth rolling. Ideal for guiding or tensioning roles in robotics or conveyors, They solve noise and drag issues, providing long-lasting, consistent performance in automation and conveying.
PU Guide Roller Wheel help steer and align systems like AGVs and tracks. Ours are molded with polyurethane and integrated bearings for precision tracking, reduced side friction, and longer life—solving misalignment and wear issues.
We provide Urethane Support Wheels that resist compression and deforming under static loads. Customers choose our urethane wheels to avoid flattening and noise under compression. Ideal for lifts and support tracks, PU supporting wheels offers lasting strength and vibration dampening.

Polyurethane Drive Wheels Manufacturer and Supplier
We manufacture a wide range of high-performance polyurethane drive wheels and urethane idler wheels designed for industrial machinery, conveyors, robotics, and automation equipment. Choose from keyed, bored, or bearing-integrated wheels to meet your needs.
What’s the difference between polyurethane drive wheels and idler wheels?
Drive wheels are mounted to turn with a powered shaft—using keyways, bushings, or bonding—to apply traction or propel material. Idler wheels rotate freely (often using bearings) and serve as guides or supports. We manufacture both to withstand mechanical stress and deliver smooth, reliable operation.
How do I choose the correct durometer (hardness)?
Select based on load, speed, and airflow:
- Softer (~70 A) for smoother grip at low speeds
- Medium (~80 A) for general industrial use
- Harder (Shore D) for high-load or high-speed environments
- We guide you through selecting the ideal durometer for optimal performance.
How do your drive wheels compare to rubber or metal wheels?
Compared to rubber and metal, polyurethane drive wheels provide:
- Higher abrasion and chemical resistance
- Greater load capacity
- Reduced noise and vibration
- Better floor protection
- They offer superior lifecycle value in demanding applications.
Can you meet special requirements—like balancing, standards, or water submersion?
Yes, we can balance wheels to specific RPMs, manufacture to ASTM/ISO standards, and supply special urethane formulations for water or chemical exposure. We also offer color and core customization for precise application needs.
What is advantage between polyurethane wheels and metal or rubber wheels ?
- Resistant to abrasion, oils, and chemicals,
- Quieter than metal or rubber, and kinder to floors,
- Customizable material hardness and bonding methods ensure longevity.
