Capacity-to-Diameter Model Selector

Selection Matrix

Capacity-to-Diameter Model Selector

Sizing a self-aligning rotator correctly requires balancing two critical vectors: maximum vessel weight and external diameter. Using the matrix ensures your equipment provides optimal surface contact without motor strain.

Wheel Material Engineering

Polyurethane (PU): Essential for protecting thin-wall finishes and preventing surface contamination on stainless steel.

Steel: Required for ultra-high loads (150t+) and applications involving extreme pre-heating or weld-zone temperatures.

Class	Diameter Range	Wheel Type	Typical Application
5–10 T	250–2,500 mm	PU	Pipe spools, small drums
20–40 T	500–3,500 mm	PU / Steel	Tanks, heat exchangers
60–100 T	800–5,000 mm	Steel / PU	Pressure vessels, boilers
150–300 T	1,000–6,300 mm	Steel	Wind towers, large vessels
500 T +	Custom Range	Steel	Heavy / OEM builds
