In industrial, medical and other application fields, casters are indispensable components. Choosing the right caster can not only improve work efficiency, but also ensure the safety of equipment. This article will introduce in detail how to choose the right caster according to different needs.
There are many types of casters, which can be divided into the following categories according to their uses:
Industrial casters: Mainly used in factories, warehouses and other environments, with strong load-bearing capacity and wear resistance.
Medical casters: Mainly used in hospitals, clinics and other places, requiring quiet, non-slip and easy disinfection.
Furniture casters: Mainly used in office furniture, home furnishings, etc., requiring flexibility, quietness and beauty.
Different equipment has different requirements for the load capacity of casters. When choosing casters, the appropriate load capacity should be determined according to the weight of the equipment and the use environment. Generally speaking, casters with higher load capacity are suitable for industrial and heavy equipment, while casters with lower load capacity are suitable for light equipment and furniture.
The ground conditions also have a great impact on the choice of casters. The following are several common ground conditions and their corresponding caster selections:
Smooth ground: suitable for polyurethane or rubber casters, which have good quiet effect and wear resistance.
Rough ground: suitable for rubber or nylon casters, which have strong wear resistance and impact resistance.
Oil-stained ground: suitable for casters of special materials, such as oil-resistant rubber or polyurethane casters, to prevent slipping and damage.
It is also important to choose the right brake type according to the use requirements of the equipment. Common brake types are:
Single brake: only brakes one side of the caster, suitable for light equipment.
Double brake: brakes both sides of the caster at the same time, suitable for medium and heavy equipment.
Full brake: brakes the entire caster and bearing, providing maximum stability, suitable for heavy equipment and special environments.
It is also important to choose the rotation and fixing function of casters according to the movement requirements of the equipment. Common functions are:
Universal casters: can rotate 360 degrees, suitable for equipment that needs flexible movement.
Fixed casters: can only move forward and backward, suitable for equipment that needs to move in a straight line.
Universal casters with brakes: can be moved flexibly and fixed, suitable for multi-functional equipment.
The material of the caster directly affects its service life and performance. Common materials are:
Rubber: soft, quiet, wear-resistant, suitable for smooth and medium-roughness floors.
Polyurethane: wear-resistant, impact-resistant, chemical-resistant, suitable for various floors and environments.
Nylon: wear-resistant and impact-resistant, suitable for rough floors and heavy-load environments.
