Abstract
This invention relates generally to wheel assemblies for a material handling vehicle, such as forklifts and pallet trucks, and the components therein. In one preferred embodiment, the wheel assemblies include conductive brush spacer assembly with tunable properties (conductivity/resistance, as well as mechanical properties) to adapt the brush spacer assembly. Embodiments of the present application may be used in various wheel assemblies, as discussed herein.
Claims12
A wheel assembly comprising:
- a wheel having a nonconductive tire mounted rotatably on an axle,
- a brush spacer disposed adjacent to the wheel, the conductive brush spacer having a hub and a plurality of fibers fixed to the hub, the plurality of fibers forming a radial brush.
