Wheels

OMET produces bearings that are over-moulded and inserted in the wheels used in various sectors, such as trolleys for supermarkets or for airports or luggage trolleys for hotels but also in commonly used products such as lawn mowers, wheelbarrows or toys.

The products are manufactured with specific features for various areas of use. Depending on the type of materials used, the increase in hardness of the bearing is obtained through carbonitriding for automatic steel or hardening + quenching for chromium steels.

OMET can offer a bearing-artefact integrated system (plastic or metal forks) such as accessories or first system for carriages or handling systems.

Do you know that...?

Bearings are widely used in the toy and modelling industry, for example in the production of cars and motorcycles, yo-yos, roller skates and scooters.

OMET for wheels

Quality, fluidity and reliability

OMET can provide both the single bearing and integrated solutions.

The bearings can be supplied with no grease or lubricated with special grease, in accordance with particular requirements.

Materials to produce carriages: sheared metal sheet, zamak, plastic and die-cast aluminium.

Treatments with different surface finishes (chrome plating, galvanising, zinc-tropicalisation and burnishing).

Bearings made of carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and 100CR6 but OMET offers the possibility of using any material depending on the application, the customer specifications and use.

Specific and customised tests to guarantee that the sliding systems work correctly over time, also in collaboration with qualified external entities (static and dynamic load testing and corrosion resistance tests).

Possibility of creating any kind of shape of the outer coating (V-shaped, U-shaped, convex, concave, flat, particular radius) in any colour, both in a classical configuration (with a hole or thread) or provided with a joint which facilitates its use in curved profiles.

Developing and testing products directly at OMET, with customised tests on the application that the customer may provide.
