ER7 Steel Railway Wheels 500–800mm EN13262 for Industrial Rail Systems

1. What It Is

Industrial railway wheels are designed for internal rail transport systems used in factories, steel plants, warehouses, and port facilities.
These wheels support stable movement, repeated loading cycles, and reliable material handling in industrial rail environments.
They are suitable for short-distance transport systems where durability and dimensional accuracy are important.

2. Where It Is Used

This type of railway wheel is widely used in:

• Factory rail systems
• Steel plant transport lines
• Port and terminal rail systems
• Warehouse and internal logistics rail
• Industrial material transfer vehicles

3. Why Choose It

ER7 / ER8 Material

These materials provide a good balance of strength, fatigue resistance, and cost efficiency for industrial operating conditions.

Medium Diameter Range (500–800 mm)

This size range is suitable for compact rail vehicles and internal transport equipment in industrial facilities.

Controlled Hardness (260–320 HB)

This hardness range helps improve tread wear resistance while maintaining adequate toughness for repeated daily use.

Stable Flange Geometry

Proper flange design improves rail guidance and reduces derailment risk in plant and workshop rail systems.

Forged Manufacturing Process

Forging improves wheel density and consistency, helping support long-term operational reliability.

4. Data Support

Key performance parameters:

• Wheel Diameter: 500–800 mm
• Flange Height: 25–34 mm
• Flange Thickness: 26–32 mm
• Rim Thickness: 55–70 mm
• Bore Diameter: 90–220 mm
• Hardness: 260–320 HB

These parameters directly affect:

• Vehicle compatibility → influenced by diameter and bore size
• Operational stability → influenced by flange geometry
• Wear resistance → influenced by hardness
• Daily load performance → influenced by rim thickness and material
• Maintenance cycle → influenced by manufacturing quality and heat treatment
