When designing a PU guide wheel for a wire saw machine, there are several considerations that must be taken into account. Firstly, the dimensions of the wheel must be carefully calculated to ensure that it fits snugly onto the saw machine and is able to withstand the high-speed rotation required during operation. Secondly, the material used for constructing the wheel must be selected with care. Polyurethane is often preferred due to its high strength and durability characteristics. The design of the PU guide wheel also needs to incorporate features that facilitate easy installation and maintenance. The use of standard mounting holes in conjunction with a lightweight design enables quick assembly or disassembly without requiring specialized tools. Furthermore, having an easily accessible grease fitting allows for easy lubrication, which reduces wear and prolongs service life. Another important consideration when designing a PU guide wheel for wire saw machines is its compatibility with abrasive materials such as stones or rocks. To prevent premature wear on both the wire saw and the PU guide wheel itself, hard coatings can be applied onto surfaces exposed to abrasion. Additionally, incorporating grooves or channels into these surfaces can help channel debris away from moving parts and prevent clogging or jamming issues during operation.
