Search for stainless steel omnidirectional rollers

Hi everyone

A question that goes beyond CAD while remaining mechanical: I am looking for stainless steel omnidirectional rollers (or omniwheel), or any other material capable of holding at least 200°C in continuous use. In a dimension similar to those offered by Interroll (Ø48mm), with perpendicular axles, 2 or 3 "axles" and a load capacity of 50kg.

Do you have a good address?

Thanks in advance

Find out more about these at Direct Industrie:

It is specified "stainless steel" but I think you should find out a little more....

Sorry I hadn't read the whole page and the pebbles are in PA....

There's Manutan if that can help you. They look a lot like the ones you have in your picture. So I don't know if it's just that you're looking for a dealer or if it's because you don't like the design. But when in doubt:

The photos are from Interroll. I have a full box of these models (small box! :) ).

Thank you @corentin. Indeed, Interroll announces stainless steel, but it's only for the axle, so the PA is not really adapted to my environment :/

@coin37coin, I had seen those from Manutan, but they are of the same design with "plastic" rollers.

I hope to find all stainless steel, rollers and support included.

Hi coin37coin, he is looking for pebbles that can withstand a minimum of 200°C, the ones you propose are also made of polyamide and only hold up to 110°C

@Benoit, so much for me.

Why not go through a ball table then?

 

 

So benoit looking hard I found this:

http://www.kornylak.com/wheels/omniwheel.html

The design is not quite the same but I think the function does not change and the rollers are made of aluminum!! On the other hand  I hope you manage a little in English because on the FR sites I found nothing for my part.

I hope it will help you.

@corentin, you have certainly found the source of Interoll, or it is a reseller: the pebbles on the site you indicate are marked "INTERROLL"! By the way, if I looked more closely, the plastic pebbles I have in my possession (which are at least 7 years old) are marked "TRAPO". I need to dig in that direction.

@coin37coin, what bothers me with the balls is the "punching" effect. These pebbles are a little less sensitive to it.

@corentin, in the end, Kornylak rollers have the same characteristics as Interroll: plastic for small diameters. The alus models are from Ø120mm :-/

I can't see where they are marked "INTERROLL". However on the Kornylak website they specify that they have a variant with "Heavy duty Aluminium rollers", and if you look at the picture on the right, there are three kinds of rollers with the aluminum one at the top right. I will contact this company for more information.

Are we talking about "Multi Directional Omniwheel Robot & Conveyor Wheels"?

Oh it's too big... :/

@corentin, precisely on the aluminum roller it is marked, it seems to me, "INTERROLL". http://www.kornylak.com/images/pdf/omni-wheel.pdf

The 2.530 (aluminum) and 2.580 (plastic) series are given for a Ø120mm (too big for my needs), unlike the 2.570 series which can be in Ø48mm or Ø80mm, but in plastic.

If I can't find it, I'll do it myself.

@ benoit 

I think you have the walkthrough

It's up to you to make them

Damn, I wasn't thinking about "punching". Too bad

 

Yes, that's what I was going to say. Maybe think about machining the rollers yourself? (well yourself... make them do what)

 

Or contact them to see if they can do something specific

As mentioned in a message above, I have in my hands one of these plastic rollers marked "TRAPO", supplied by Interroll a few years ago. I found 2 companies that bear this name, associated with this type of rollers: one in Germany that makes complete conveyors apparently and another in the United States, which puts on the home page a model seems to stick to my needs (to the nearest dimension). I contacted them by email and they can't meet my expectations.

But! I can't resist sharing their documentation with you! At least this type of pebble is not new technology, given the staging of superb cathode ray tube televisions! It's selling! :-D

Name of Zeus! (as the other would say) Is this a doc!! It reminds me of a company where I had the cleaning in the docs. I had come across things older than me. Genre of the 70s

 

It deserves a special "coffee corner" for old docs where we put our finds;)
