Material and Structure

This nylon gear wheel is made from reinforced nylon material, which provides better rigidity and strength compared with standard nylon.

The structure can be:

  • With teeth (gear type)
  • Without teeth (guide wheel type)

Both types are designed for different functions in conveyor systems.
