Hyperloop urethane wheels are produced at Plan Tech using a variety of different molding techniques. Most commonly these lightweight high-speed wheels are produced from an aluminum core that can be machined to any profile at Plan Techs in-house machine shop saving the end customer shipping costs to provide the cores or “rims” elsewhere. These aluminum Hyperloop Urethane Wheels are then media blasted where a light coat of bonding adhesive will bond the urethane to metal forever. For added strength Plan Tech will work with different Hyperloop design teams to add a positive lock groove for an superior bond strength. These wheels will be traveling at a very high rate of speed upwards of 600 MPH and will need to be high speed balanced before being used. Plan Tech can do all the turning to the urethane to include any customized profiles desired for Hyperloop Urethane Wheels.
