High temperature resistance
In the below table the temperature ranges are shown for particular wheel types. Greasing the wheel bearing allows it to operate within the temperature range from -20°C to +120°C. For higher temperatures the use of some special grease is required. Heat resistant wheels are also made to special customer orders.
