Heavy Duty Double Ball Bearing Top Plate Swivel/Rigid Red PU Caster(Zinc-plating)

With the continuous development of casters, the wide variety of caster products on the market dazzles everyone, and how to choose a caster suitable for their products has become a problem for users. So how do you choose? Here, Globe Caster will introduce some factors that need to be considered when choosing casters:

1. Choose the right caster wheel material: usually the wheel material includes nylon, rubber, polyurethane, elastic rubber, polyurethane core, cast iron, plastic, etc. Polyurethane wheels can meet the user's handling requirements regardless of whether they are running on the ground indoors or outdoors. Elastic rubber wheels can be applied to hotels, medical equipment, wooden floors, tiled floors and other grounds that require low noise and quiet when walking. Nylon wheels and iron wheels are suitable for sites with uneven ground or iron filings on the ground.

2. How to choose the right caster bracket: usually choose a suitable caster bracket first to consider the weight of the caster, such as supermarkets, schools, hospitals, office buildings, hotels, etc., because the ground is good, smooth and the cargo carried is lighter, (every The caster can carry 50-150kg), which is suitable for choosing the electroplated wheel frame stamped and formed by thin steel plate 3-4mm. The wheel frame is light, flexible in operation, quiet and beautiful. In places such as factories and warehouses, where goods are moved frequently and the load is heavy (each caster carries a load of 150-680kg), it is suitable to choose a wheel frame with double-row balls that are stamped, hot forged and welded with a thick steel plate of 5-6 mm. If it is used to carry heavy objects such as textile factories, automobile factories, machinery factories and other places, due to the heavy load and long walking distance (each caster carries 700-2500kg), the wheels should be welded after cutting with a thick steel plate of 8-12mm. Frame, the movable wheel frame uses flat ball bearings and ball bearings on the bottom plate, so that the casters can bear heavy loads, rotate flexibly, and resist impact.

3. How to calculate the load-bearing weight of casters: In order to be able to calculate the required load-bearing capacity of various casters, it is necessary to know the weight and load of the transport equipment and the number of wheels and casters used. The required load capacity of a single wheel or caster is calculated as follows: T=(E+Z)/M×N: T=the required load capacity of the single wheel or caster, E=the weight of the transportation equipment, Z=load, M=used The number of single wheels and casters, N = safety factor (about 1.3-1.5).

4. Choose the diameter of the casters: Generally, the larger the diameter of the wheel, the easier it is to push, and the larger the load capacity is. At the same time, it can protect the ground from damage. The choice of wheel diameter should first consider the weight of the load and the starting of the truck under the load. Thrust to decide.

5. to maintain the flexibility of the wheel rotation: the larger the wheel, the more labor-saving, the needle bearing can carry heavier loads, and the resistance is greater when rotating. The single wheel is equipped with high-quality ball bearings, which can carry heavier loads, rotate more lightly, and flexibly and quietly.

6. Product temperature conditions: severe cold and high temperatures have a great impact on casters. For example, polyurethane wheels can rotate flexibly at a low temperature of minus 45°C, and high temperature resistant wheels can rotate lightly at a high temperature of 270°C.

When choosing casters, users can choose according to the above six points.
