Preventing Delamination in Amusement Ride Wheels

Raeder Vogel polyurethane wheels are an ideal replacement for steel or rubber wheels, resolving common issues that plague amusement rides. Replacing steel wheels with Vulkodyn® dramatically reduces noise pollution and increases efficiency and durability, extending the life of the wheel. Vulkodyn® has even been found to be durable and effective in wooden roller coasters where other polyurethane wheels have failed to perform.

Wheels for Amusement Park Water Rides

Water rides are a special attraction in any amusement park but place extremely high demands on load and lateral guide wheels. In addition to the outstanding dynamic properties of the wheel materials, all components – in particular the bearings – must be designed to operate in and under water. The excellent quality of Raeder Vogel polyurethane wheels means that they ensure smooth and reliable operation in these conditions.
