Pneumatic Caster Top plate Swivel/Rigid type Rubber Wheel(Gold-plating)

Universal wheels are movable casters whose structure allows horizontal 360-degree rotation and are widely used in mechanical equipment, engineering decoration, textile printing and dyeing, logistics equipment, electromechanical equipment, large supermarkets and other social fields. With the continuous expansion of the scope of use, how to choose the appropriate universal wheel has become a very headache for users. The following Globe Caster will explain to you in detail the reasonable selection of universal wheels.

    1. Calculate the carrying weight

    Before calculating the required load capacity of the universal wheels, it is necessary to know the dead weight of the transportation equipment, the load and the number of universal wheels used. E is the self-weight of the transportation equipment, T is the required bearing weight of the universal wheel, Z is the load, N is the safety factor (1.3-1.5), M is the number of the universal wheel used, usually the required load capacity of a single wheel is calculated The formula is: T=(E+Z)/M×N.

    2. Choose the material of universal wheel

    In addition to considering the size of the road surface, the residual materials and obstacles in the use site, the selection of the appropriate wheel material should also comprehensively analyze the important bearing capacity of the wheel and the environmental conditions. For example, rubber wheels are not resistant to acid and grease. The environment determines the material of the universal wheel.

    3. Determine the size of the wheel diameter

    The larger the diameter of the universal wheel, the greater the load capacity, easier to push, and can protect the ground to a limited extent. Generally, the diameter of the wheel needs to be determined by the starting thrust and bearing weight of the truck under comprehensive load.

    4. Rotation flexibility

    The larger the single wheel, the more labor-saving it can turn. The needle bearing has a heavier load and greater resistance to rotation, while a single wheel with ball bearings is lighter and more flexible.

    Reasonable selection of universal wheels should comprehensively consider the above four aspects, which can significantly reduce the use of universal wheels caused by unreasonable selection and have a positive impact on the improvement of work efficiency.
