Anti-static/electrically conductive wheels and castors serve to provide electrostatic discharge which is generated by transport units or the goods being transported.
A wheel or caster is deemed tobe electrically conductive if the resistance does not exceed 104Ω
A wheel or caster is deemed to be anti-static if the resistance does not exceed 107Ω
In order to ensure the conductivity of lacquered components such as rims or wheel centers,the paint at the fixing points(the connection to the trnsport unit) can be removed.
The effectiveness of the conductivity during operation can be affected by a dirty tread ot other environmental influences and therefore has to be checked by the operator periodically.
