Thread Guard Optional Heavy Duty Caster With Robust Construction Ball Bearing

Product Description:

♥Industrial caster wheels are heavy-duty wheels designed to provide mobility and maneuverability to various types of industrial equipment and applications. They come in a range of sizes, materials, and designs to accommodate different load capacities and operating conditions.

♥Bearing System: Caster wheels incorporate different types of bearings to facilitate smooth and efficient rolling.

Common bearing options include plain bearings, roller bearings, ball bearings, precision bearings, and tapered roller

bearings. The choice of bearing depends on factors such as load capacity, speed, and desired rolling resistance.

♥Mounting Options: Industrial caster wheels can be mounted in various ways to suit different equipment and applications. They typically feature a mounting plate that attaches the wheel to the equipment. Mounting options include swivel mounts, rigid mounts, and brake mounts. Swivel mounts allow for 360-degree rotation, rigid mounts provide fixed directional movement, and brake mounts enable locking the wheel in place to prevent unwanted movement.

♥Brake Mechanisms: Many industrial caster wheels come with integrated brake systems to secure equipment in place when needed. Brakes can be foot-operated, lever-operated, or pedal-operated, providing ease of use and increased safety.

♥Floor Protection: Some caster wheels have non-marking or non-marring properties to protect the floors from scuffs, scratches, or damage. This is particularly important when working on delicate surfaces or in environments where floor protection is crucial.

♥Specialized Features: Depending on the specific application, industrial caster wheels may have additional specialized features. For example, there are caster wheels designed for high-temperature environments, low-profile applications, or heavy-duty towing. These specialized features cater to unique industrial requirements.

Features:

Industrial caster wheels are built to support heavy loads, ranging from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds per wheel, while withstanding and distributing weight efficiently to prevent damage. They are typically made from durable materials such as cast iron, steel, polyurethane, nylon, or rubber, and the choice of material is based on factors such as load capacity, floor conditions, environmental factors, and the desired level of noise and vibration reduction.

The diameter of industrial caster wheels varies for different applications, with larger diameters providing better stability and ease of rolling over uneven surfaces, and smaller diameters offering increased maneuverability in tight spaces. Caster wheels also use different types of bearings to enable smooth rolling, such as plain bearings, roller bearings, ball bearings, precision bearings, and tapered roller bearings, each with its own purpose depending on load capacity, speed, and the desired level of rolling resistance.

In terms of mounting options, industrial caster wheels can be swivel-mounted for 360-degree rotation, rigid-mounted for fixed directional movement, and brake-mounted for locking in place to prevent unwanted movement.

Technical Parameters:

The material of a caster wheel affects its durability, load capacity, and performance on different surfaces. Common materials include cast iron, steel, polyurethane, nylon, and rubber. It depends on load capacity, floor type, and noise and vibration reduction area when it comes to choosing the right material.

The bearing type of a caster wheel has a direct influence on its rolling and smoothness. There are five common bearing types for caster wheels, including plain bearings, roller bearings, ball bearings, precision bearings, and tapered roller bearings. When it comes to choosing the bearing type, load capacity, speed, and rolling resistance should be taken into account.

Generally, caster wheels can have an integrated braking mechanism. Brake types of caster wheels may include foot-operated, lever-operated, or pedal-operated, depending on the specific model. It is important to know the brake type when selecting caster wheels.

For some caster wheels, it is necessary to know the temperature range they can work effectively. This parameter usually indicates the minimum and maximum temperatures at which the wheel can maintain its structural integrity and functionality.

For caster wheels used in corrosive environments, corrosion resistance is important. Caster wheels may have a corrosion-resistant coating to protect them from chemical or moisture exposure. Alternately, the wheels may be made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel.
