7160100 – Basket Drive Wheel, 10″ × 3″, Tapered Bore, Compatible with Washex/Challenge

This 10″ × 3″ basket drive wheel is engineered as a reliable replacement for Washex and Challenge washer systems, providing stable torque transfer and smooth basket rotation under heavy wash loads. The tapered bore design ensures a secure, concentric fit on the drive shaft, reducing vibration and slippage while improving overall drivetrain efficiency. Built from heavy-duty cast/steel construction, the wheel maintains its structural integrity in high-G extract cycles and continuous commercial-duty environments.

Technicians value this wheel for its predictable alignment behavior and straightforward installation, especially when paired with proper keying and taper-lock hardware. For best performance, clean the shaft taper, confirm key fit, and recheck fasteners after initial run-in.
