When you need a wheel you can depend on, the Omega Wheel is RWM’s proprietary solution that is always ready to answer the call! The Omega Wheel’s patented urethane design delivers superior impact absorption and sound reduction, which makes the wheel perfect for use within automotive plants, towline applications, and more.

Noise and Vibration Reduction

13.2 dba. That is the average reduction in noise that the Omega wheel delivers on empty trailers. When fully loaded, you can expect a 4.6-dba reduction. This makes the wheel ideal for towline caster applications. With the Omega Wheel, you and your employees will enjoy a much quieter working environment.

The Omega Wheel is also highly effective at reducing vibration. The smooth ride the wheel provides won’t negatively affect critical machine operations or damage flooring as the wheel rolls along. If your applications involve sensitive or delicate parts, the Omega Wheel is the perfect solution for keeping them protected.

Size Counts

The bigger the wheel, the higher the weight capacity. If you require wheels for heavy-duty applications, RWM’s Omega Wheel can handle up to 2,000 pounds, when you select a wheel with a 10-inch diameter and 3-inch wheel width. If you don’t require a high load capacity, we also have smaller wheels that will add less weight to your carts or other material handling equipment. The Omega Wheel is available in a broad range of sizes, including:

  • 6″, 8″, or 10″ wheel diameter
  • 2″ or 3″ wheel width
  • 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, or 1 1/4″ axle diameter

Get Your Bearings

RWM makes wheels that are suitable for a variety of applications. One way to customize your Omega Wheel to suit your needs is through your bearing selection. The Omega Wheel is available with the following types of bearings:

  • Straight roller bearings: Consisting of a cage-type roller and a split outer race, these bearings provide a high radial capacity but minimal side thrust.
  • Ball bearings: Ball bearings provide ease of movement, ensuring your wheels roll along smoothly.
  • Tapered roller bearings: These bearings provide an unmatched level of precision, even for high-weight and high-speed applications.

Omega Offers Amazing Advantages

When you choose Omega for your business, you will enjoy longer service life, lower maintenance expenses, noise reduction, cost savings, and more. It is also easy to upgrade and retrofit your existing caster rig to incorporate the same sized Omega Wheel.

Indeed, there are numerous advantages, including:

  1. Retains bond at high speed
  2. Noise reduction
  3. Resists chunking and tearing
  4. Won’t pick up metal chips
  5. Enhanced impact absorption
  6. Eliminates the need for spring load casters
  7. Simple to install
  8. Cost-effective

Rolls Right Over Obstacles

When the Omega Wheel encounters an obstacle on the floor it will flex and cushion the load as it rolls over the object. Once past the obstacle, the Omega Wheel will return to its original shape without warping, chunking, or tearing.
