This grooved wheel is designed for wire rope crossing, guiding rope through turns, and lifting applications. It features a grooved profile to cradle the rope, a zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance, and a 608ZZ bearing for smooth, durable rotation. With an 8 mm bore, 40 mm outer diameter, and 10 mm width, it fits standard mounting setups and provides reliable performance in a compact form. Key benefits Guides wire rope smoothly through crossings and turns, reducing rope wear and snag risk. Zinc plating offers corrosion resistance for use in challenging or outdoor environments. 608ZZ bearing delivers low friction, reliable rotation, and long service life. Compact and easy to integrate with standard 8 mm shafts or axles. Versatile in many lifting and guiding configurations, including Uguide and lifting wheel roles. Key attributes Type: Wire rope crossing wheel grooves roller U wheel guide wheel lifting wheel Bearing: 608ZZ Finish: Zinc plating Bore: 8 mm Outer diameter: 40 mm Width: 10 mm Material: Metal wheel with zinc plating (specifically fitted for grooved rope guidance) Applications: Designed for wire rope guidance and lifting components Specifications at a glance Outer diameter: 40 mm Width: 10 mm Bore: 8 mm Bearing: 608ZZ Finish: Zinc plating Applications and use cases Crane or hoist trolley guidance: Acts as a rope guide wheel in small lifting systems, keeping the rope aligned as it travels along a track. Wire rope routing in winches: Serves as a crossing and guiding wheel to route rope efficiently through corners and turns in manual or motorized winches. Industrial machinery and material handling: Used as a grooved guide wheel to direct rope paths in compact machinery and equipment where precise rope alignment is required. Installation and compatibility Designed for mounting on an 8 mm shaft or axle bearing arrangement. Fits systems that require a 40 mm diameter grooved wheel with a 10 mm width and a standard 8 mm bore. Use with compatible fasteners and spacers to secure the wheel in place while allowing rotation of the 608ZZ bearing. Maintenance and care Keep the groove clean from debris to maintain smooth rope guidance. Apply appropriate lubrication to the bearing area if required by the system, following standard maintenance practices for 608ZZ bearings. Inspect the zinc plating for signs of wear or corrosion in harsh environments and if performance is affected. This product provides a reliable, purposebuilt solution for guiding wire rope in lifting and guiding applications. The combination of a grooved wheel, 608ZZ bearing, and zinc plated finish delivers durable performance in a compact, easytointegrate form.
