Universal
industrial caster is a single wheel made of super polyurethane, imported
reinforced nylon and rubber. This kind of caster, with excellent strength and
impact resistance, is widely used in the production of factories or mechanical
equipment, and it’s increasingly close to people’s daily life.
This
might be closely related to the applicability of industrial casters. From the aspect of
characteristics, the industrial caster is not only fashionable in style, secure
in bearing capacity, accurate in rotating track but also resistant to impact
and corrosion. All of these prove its high practicability.
Universal
caster bracket is produced by high-pressure punch once forming, which can carry
200-500kg goods in short-distance transportation. According to different scenes
to apply, casters can also be adapted in width, weight, and material. You could
find casters in various industries, such as commerce, workshop, factory,
catering, etc.
Many
universal caster products of manufacturers can even be designed according to
the environmental bearing capacity required by users. The manufacturers can
also select roller bearing or ball bearing according to the universal caster
needed by customers. It can be predicted that with the full application of
casters in all walks of life, the sales volume of casters is bound to reach a
new high!
Casters have become an indispensable and
integral part of life. In this case, how could we choose a high-quality and
suitable casters for our own purpose?
In
addition to the universal casters mentioned above, nylon casters also have the
classification of directional casters, which don’t have rotating structures and
cannot rotate. The universal caster can rotate 360 degrees freely and install
the brake. At present, the caster size on the market is from 1 inch to 10
inches, and the commonly used sizes are 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches,
8 inches, etc. The wheel size can be comprehensively considered based on the
purpose, load, installation height, etc. of the selected caster.
Caster
material selection is particularly important. Generally, PU, TPR, PP, rubber,
nylon, etc. have been used. The choice needs to be based on the load,
applicable temperature, surface hardness, ground environment and other
comprehensive considerations.
Casters
are divided into light, medium, heavy and super-heavy types. When the ground is
relatively flat, the bearing capacity of a single caster = (total weight of
equipment ÷ number of installed casters) × 1.2 (insurance factor). If the
ground is not flat enough, the bearing capacity of a single caster = the total
weight of the equipment ÷ 3. Because no matter what kind the ground is, there
need to be at least three wheels supporting the equipment at the same time.
This algorithm is equivalent to increasing the safety factor, making it more
reliable to prevent the life of the caster significantly reduced or cause
accidents due to insufficient bearing capacity.
There
are different types of sizes and specifications of industrial casters on the
market nowadays. With different colors, they can attract diverse segments of
customers. As a caster manufacturer, they need to consider that from the
perspective of consumers, most of the cost of using caster products cannot be
too high, and the quality requires to be reliable. The after-sales service
could not be trouble-some. These elements are often the strengths of domestic
industrial caster brands.
