Albion, Michigan -- Caster Concepts has been involved in developing a new polyurethane manufacturing process for "airless wheels" used in Humvees, all-terrain vehicles and other applications, the company said in a 25 March statement.
The new wheels, which can also be used in driving simulators to teach advanced driver's education, use a "revolutionary shock-absorption technology" for wheels that reduces hearing loss in factory workers.
The company, which produces a range of PU industrial caster wheels, has also recently secured a contract to produce a test dynamometer for the Puget Sound Naval Facility in Bremerton, Washington, to test and optimise control systems that power a 325 hosepower electric motor, the statement said.
