What Are the Advantages of Vulkollan AGV Guide Wheels

Vulkollan AGV guide wheels are used in continuous operation in material handling equipment such as automotive, intralogistics or hospitals and healthcare due to their long service life and high tear and wear resistance. The transport equipment will not fail due to material failure.

Advantages of Vulkollan material

• Exceptional load-bearing capacity

Vulkollan offers one of the highest dynamic load capacities among elastomers. This makes it suitable for high-speed, high-load AGV systems operating around the clock in demanding industrial environments.

• Outstanding wear resistance

AGV wheels are subject to constant movement and friction. Vulkollan exhibits excellent abrasion resistance, significantly extending wheel lifespan and reducing the frequency of replacements.

• High tear and impact resistance

The material can absorb shocks and resist tearing even under sudden changes in load or direction, which helps protect both the vehicle and the floor.

• Low rolling resistance

Vulkollan wheels offer smooth rolling performance with minimal energy loss. This contributes to improved energy efficiency, longer battery life, and reduced motor strain in AGVs.

• Excellent compression set and rebound elasticity

The material retains its shape after prolonged use and compression, helping maintain consistent vehicle tracking and stability over time.

• Temperature and chemical resistance

Vulkollan operates reliably in a wide temperature range and resists oils, greases, and industrial chemicals, making it ideal for factory and warehouse settings.

Why AGVs should use Vulkollan guide wheels?

AGVs rely on precise guidance systems and consistent wheel performance to navigate efficiently and safely. Vulkollan guide wheels support these requirements through:

• Precision steering: The high dimensional stability and minimal deformation of vulkollan ensure accurate movement and turning.

• Reduced downtime: Longer-lasting wheels mean fewer maintenance interruptions and higher uptime for AGVs.

• Quiet, floor-friendly operation: Vulkollan’s elasticity provides quieter operation and minimizes floor wear—ideal for indoor environments like warehouses, production plants, and cleanrooms.

• Suitability for high-speed travel: Its superior dynamic properties allow AGVs to move quickly and safely without sacrificing control or safety.

Vulkollan AGV guide wheels combine strength, resilience, and durability, making them the material of choice for high-performance automated systems. Whether for heavy-duty warehouse robots or precision cleanroom AGVs, Vulkollan delivers reliability and efficiency.
