Frequently Asked Questions
Which wire drawing machines can use this guide wheel?
The modular design allows compatibility with many standard wire drawing machines. Actual compatibility depends on mounting dimensions and equipment requirements.
What is the difference between tungsten carbide and ceramic guide wheels?
Tungsten carbide guide wheels provide excellent toughness and impact resistance, making them suitable for high-speed and high-tension applications.
Ceramic guide wheels offer higher hardness and excellent chemical stability, making them suitable for cleaner environments or applications sensitive to metal contamination.
Is the 9.3 g weight fixed?
The 9.3 g weight refers to a typical specification. Actual weight may vary depending on groove design, outer diameter, and customization requirements.
Can samples be provided for testing?
Yes. Standard samples can be supplied for performance testing before bulk orders.
What is the service life of the guide wheel?
Service life depends on wire material, operating speed, tension, lubrication, and working conditions. Under suitable conditions, tungsten carbide guide wheels provide significantly longer service life than conventional steel wheels.
Can non-standard sizes be customized?
Yes. Customers can provide drawings or samples, and customized guide wheels can be manufactured according to specific application requirements.
