What are the factors that affect the performance of the casters?

Castors are used in a wide variety of applications, including movable casters, fixed casters and movable brake casters. The movable caster is also called the universal wheel. Its structure allows 360 degree rotation. The fixed caster is also called directional caster. The installation height of the caster: refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the installation position of the equipment. The installation height of the caster is Refers to the maximum vertical distance from the caster floor to the side of the wheel. So, what should we consider when choosing a caster? What are the factors that determine?

 

 

 

First, caster capacity

 

The load capacity required for a single caster is determined based on the design load. The carrying capacity of the casters is the most basic and critical requirement for the casters, and there should be a certain amount of safety margin.

 

 

 

 

Second, the use of the site situation

 

Select the appropriate wheel material based on the actual working conditions of the casters. Used on rough ground, it should be wear-resistant, elastic rubber, polyurethane or super artificial rubber wheels; work under special high temperature or low temperature, or the working environment temperature difference is very large, should choose metal wheels or special High-temperature resistant wheels; where it is required to prevent the accumulation of static electricity, it is best to use special anti-static wheels, or metal wheels (if the ground does not require protection), according to the environment, choose the most suitable model.

 

 

 

 

Third, caster rotation flexibility

 

High-precision ball bearings operate particularly smoothly and flexibly, especially for high-end instruments and quiet environments. Carefully prepared needle roller bearings are still easy to handle under heavy pressure; to protect beautiful floors, use soft rubber and polyurethane. And super artificial rubber casters; to avoid leaving unsightly wheel prints on the ground, please choose special gray rubber casters, polyurethane wheels, super artificial rubber wheels and other non-wheeled wheels.

 

 

 

 

Fourth, temperature requirements

 

Extreme cold and heat can cause trouble for many wheels, and it is best to use wheels that are compatible with the ambient temperature.
