Description
Custom High‑Precision Rubber Wheels for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Our custom high‑precision rubber wheels are engineered specifically for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and other automated systems where precise traction, low vibration, and long‑term reliability are critical. Each wheel combines a specially formulated rubber tread with a precision‑machined aluminum core, ensuring smooth startups, stable motion, and reduced maintenance intervals. As a leading rubber wheel manufacturer and supplier in China, we offer these wheels with full OEM/ODM customization, flexible wholesale pricing, and expert consultation for the global market. Our ISO‑9001‑certified factory performs runout and bond‑integrity checks on every wheel before shipment, so you receive a dependable product with proven manufacturing quality. Whether you need a custom solution for heavy‑duty transfer carts or precise guidance for warehouse robots, our engineering team will create a tailored recommendation that fits your application and budget.
Why choose this product?
- High‑precision dimensional accuracy. Each wheel is manufactured to tight tolerances, helping AGV installations maintain consistent alignment and positioning accuracy. This reduces navigation errors and keeps your material‑handling system productive.
- Special rubber compound. The tread formulation resists abrasion, oil, and impact, offering better stability than standard rubber wheels. The result is less downtime and lower replacement costs over the machine’s service life.
- Full customization support. We can precisely tailor diameter, width, Shore hardness, core bore, and markings to your application. That makes us the professional partner for custom solutions on new AGV and mobile robot projects.
- Proven manufacturing quality. Our factory follows ISO‑9001 quality procedures, and each wheel is inspected for runout and bond integrity before shipment. You get a reliable product from a supplier you can trust.

Material properties reference
| Compound | Shore A range | Abrasion resistance | Oil resistance | Load capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyurethane (PU) | 20-98 A | Excellent ★★★★★ | Good | Excellent |
| Natural rubber (NR) | 25-98 A | Excellent ★★★★★ | Poor | Excellent |
| Nitrile (NBR) | 20-95 A | Good ★★★ | Excellent | Good |
| EPDM | 20-95 A | Good ★★★ | Poor | Good |
| Silicone | 40-90 A | Poor ★ | Good | Low |
As shown in the table, polyurethane offers the best combination of low wear, high load capacity, and good oil resistance for most automation and conveyor systems. For applications with heavy oil exposure, our NBR compound provides superior resistance and dimensional stability. We can fine‑tune Shore A hardness or combine tread materials to match your floor conditions, payload, and speed requirements.

Production and stock policy
Lead time: Actual lead time is subject to raw‑material availability, production equipment schedules, and peak‑season order‑load fluctuations. We will provide the best possible delivery estimate after order confirmation and keep you updated throughout the process.
Stock availability: We generally do not hold large finished‑goods inventories, but some common standard sizes may be in stock. Actual stock levels vary with sales and production cycles – please confirm current availability before ordering.
Bulk and urgent orders: For large quantities or time‑critical requirements, please inform us early so we can plan production capacity accordingly and support your schedule.
Frequently asked questions
Can you supply custom high‑precision rubber wheels for AGVs with a specific load rating?
Yes. As a professional custom‑solution provider in China, we can adjust wheel diameter, tread width, core material, and hardness to match your required load. Send us your AGV design and mounting layout, and our engineers will recommend a suitable configuration.
What rubber hardness is recommended for AGV applications?
The optimal hardness depends on floor type, load, speed, and noise requirements. Softer treads offer better grip and lower noise but wear faster, while harder treads improve load capacity. For most indoor AGVs using custom high‑precision rubber wheels, Shore A 80 to 85 works well. We can also give expert recommendations tailored to your conditions.
Do you support OEM and ODM orders?
Yes. We work with AGV manufacturers and integrators on OEM and ODM projects, including custom sizes, colours, markings, packaging, and specialised tread formulations. Our aim is to offer a reliable custom solution for your entire product line.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) depends on the wheel size and whether it is a standard or fully custom design. In principle, we are flexible for sample orders and pilot runs. For large production runs, we can also schedule staggered deliveries to make your warehousing more efficient.
How can I get a price quotation for my project?
Send us your specifications, expected quantity, and target market. We will prepare a competitive wholesale price quotation together with a technical recommendation. As a direct factory supplier, we can offer cost‑effective pricing for custom and standard rubber wheels.
What quality checks are performed on each wheel?
Each wheel is inspected for outside‑diameter tolerance, hardness, bond integrity between the tyre and core, and runout before packing. For larger production batches, we also perform random abrasion and load tests, so you receive a consistent and reliable product.
Can you assist with wheel selection for heavy‑duty AGV transfer carts?
Absolutely. We have delivered custom solutions for heavy‑duty transfer carts and warehouse platforms. Share your maximum payload, floor conditions, and duty cycle, and we will recommend the right hardness, tread profile, and wheel construction.
