Overhead conveyor traction wheels are components used in material handling systems to provide movement to the carriers (e.g., hooks, or trolleys) along the conveyor track. These wheels are typically positioned along the track and engage with the conveyor's rails or chains, enabling the carriers to move smoothly and efficiently. The traction wheels are powered by the conveyor's drive mechanism, and they play a key role in maintaining consistent motion.

Key features of traction wheels include:

• Material and durability: Traction wheels are typically made of durable materials like steel or polyurethane to withstand wear and friction.
• Grip and traction: They are designed to provide optimal grip on the rail or chain, ensuring smooth and continuous movement of the carriers.
• Support for movement: Traction wheels assist in both the propulsion and stabilization of the carriers as they move along the track.
• Positioning: They are usually located at key points along the conveyor track, such as at the ends or along the length of the rails, depending on the design.

Overall, traction wheels are essential for the efficient operation of an overhead conveyor system, ensuring that the carriers move consistently along the designated path.
