0 N.O.S. Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Plenty of companies producing components machined from NYLON in various grades (and colours:D). Depending on what and how many you need, this might be best and cheapest option as you can get them bored to the required diameter and no bearing bush required if running straight onto shaft. Here's just one that I've had great service from: www.devol.com They may pass you over to another company for small batches or one-offs.

If to expensive will see if I can come up with an alternative. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 N.O.S. Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think this is the company I've used before for smaller castors - you may find something suitable. Must be good - they're from Jack's patch!! http://www.revvo.co.uk/shop/wheels.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andyroo Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 So converting inches to millimeters is easy. Now the tricky bit the bottom (beneath the ply) is sheet steel described as 18 BG MS PANEL Mike Mike, To be precise 18 BG is 18 Birmingham gauge which is 0.049" thick. Almost imposible now to get. 18 gauge is 0.048" thick. Most companys only stock 1.2mm 18 SWG (standard wire gauge) is 0.048" diamiter. Andy.
