Casters can be divided into many types according to different uses and environments, including industrial casters, medical casters, furniture casters, etc. Different types of casters have specific standards and specifications in the manufacturing and use process.
Industrial casters: Mainly used in manufacturing, logistics and warehousing industries, high load capacity and wear resistance are required.
Medical casters: used for medical equipment, requiring quietness, flexibility and high hygiene standards.
Furniture casters: used for office furniture and home furniture, usually requiring beauty, flexibility and no damage to the ground.
In order to ensure the quality and safety of casters, various international and national standards have been formulated. The following are some common caster standards:
ISO standards: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has formulated a number of standards for casters, including load tests, durability tests, and material requirements.
EN standards: The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has also formulated some standards for casters, mainly for safety and performance requirements.
ANSI standards: The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specifies requirements for caster dimensions, tolerances, and load capacity.
When purchasing casters, you need to consider the following aspects:
Load capacity: Choose a caster with appropriate load capacity according to the use environment and needs. Overloading can cause damage to the caster and even cause safety accidents.
Material: Casters of different materials are suitable for different floors and environments. Common materials include polyurethane, rubber, nylon, etc.
Swivel and fixed functions: Choose casters with swivel or fixed functions as needed to ensure flexibility and stability during use.
In order to extend the service life of casters and maintain their good performance, regular maintenance and care are necessary:
Regular inspection: Check the wear of casters, especially the condition of bearings and tires. If severe wear is found, they should be replaced in time.
Lubrication and maintenance: Regularly add lubricating oil to the bearing part of the caster to maintain its flexibility.
Cleaning: Regularly clean the dust and debris on the caster to prevent it from affecting the rotation and use of the caster.
There are many application examples of casters in various industries, such as:
Manufacturing: On the production line and storage equipment of the factory, the use of high-load capacity industrial casters can improve work efficiency.
Medical equipment: Medical casters are used on hospital beds, surgical carts and nursing equipment to improve the flexibility and ease of operation of the equipment.
Office furniture: Flexible furniture casters are used on office chairs, filing cabinets and other furniture to facilitate movement and rearrangement of office layout.
