With the rapid development of smart hospitals, digital healthcare and unmanned logistics systems, medical transport robots (AGV / AMR) have been widely used in hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies and surgical areas for the automated transportation of medicines, instruments, samples and medical supplies. Polyurethane high load wheels for medical transport robots have become an ideal choice for medical logistics scenarios due to their high load capacity, low noise and clean performance.
Polyurethane high load wheels are industrial‑grade running wheels made with high‑performance polyurethane as the tread, combined with steel or aluminum alloy cores. Compared with rubber or nylon wheels, polyurethane wheels offer superior performance in load capacity, wear resistance and quiet operation, making them especially suitable for medical transport robots, hospital AGVs and laboratory AMR systems.
Requirements for Load Wheels of Transport Robots in Medical Scenarios
High load capacity: For heavy-duty operation with fully loaded medicine carts, medical supply boxes, etc.
Low‑noise operation: No interference to wards, surgical areas and medical staff
Clean and low-dust: Meets the clean environment requirements of hospitals and laboratories
Floor-friendly: Does not damage epoxy flooring, PVC flooring or anti-static flooring
Stable and reliable operation: Ensures accurate positioning and long‑term continuous running of robots
Advantages of Medical Grade Polyurethane High Load Wheels
Adopts high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel core + high-density polyurethane coating, balancing strength and weight reduction
Adjustable polyurethane hardness: Shore A 75 - 90, achieving an optimal balance between traction and softness
Smooth and dense surface, resistant to repeated wiping with common disinfectants such as alcohol and sodium hypochlorite
Low rolling resistance design extends battery life and increases the robot' s daily task throughput
IP67/IP68 rated stainless steel sealed bearings, dustproof and waterproof, lifetime lubrication‑free
