What are the factors that affect caster performance?

Casters are used in a wide range of applications, including active casters, stationary casters, and active belt brake casters. The active caster is what we call a universal wheel, and its structure allows 360 degree rotation; Fixed casters are also called directional casters. The installation height of casters refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the installation position of the equipment. So, what should we consider when choosing casters? What are the determining factors?

First, caster capacity

Determine the carrying capacity of a caster according to the designed load. The bearing capacity of casters is the most basic and critical requirement for casters.

Second, the use of the site

According to the actual working conditions of casters, select the appropriate wheel material. For use on rough ground, wheels should be wear-resistant, resilient rubber, polyurethane or super synthetic rubber; In special high or low temperature work, or work environment temperature difference is very big, should choose metal wheels or special high temperature resistant wheels; In the requirements to prevent the accumulation of static electricity, it is best to use a special anti-static wheel, can also choose the metal wheel (if the ground does not require protection), according to the environment, choose the most appropriate model.

Third, caster rotation flexibility

High precision ball bearings work smoothly and flexibly, especially for high-grade instruments and equipment and quiet environment. To protect beautiful floors, use soft rubber, polyurethane and super synthetic rubber casters. To avoid ugly wheel marks on the ground, choose special grey rubber casters, polyurethane wheels, super rubber wheels, and other wheels without wheel marks.

Fourth, temperature requirements

Severe cold and heat can cause problems for many wheels. It's best to choose wheels that are in keeping with the ambient temperature.
