Industrial casters mainly refer to a kind of casters used in factories or mechanical equipment. The overall product has high impact resistance and strength. The selection of industrial casters has a very important impact on the construction efficiency of the whole project. Therefore, it is very important to select the appropriate industrial casters.

Generally, we can divide industrial casters into many different models according to different sizes. These products can be designed according to the needs of users, and can also be purchased in the market. Casters have their own advantages and disadvantages, so how can we choose suitable products? Stand here on the castor wheel to help you solve the puzzlement:

1. First of all, we should choose the right material: usually the material of casters are nylon, rubber, polyurethane, artificial rubber, iron core wrapped polyurethane, cast iron, plastics, etc. Polyurethane wheels can meet your handling requirements both indoors and outdoors on the ground. Artificial rubber wheels are suitable for hotels, medical devices, wooden floors, ceramic tile floors and other requirements when walking on quiet and quiet ground. Nylon wheels and iron wheels are suitable for rough ground or ground with iron sheets, scraps and other materials.

2. How to correctly select the scaffolds: Usually, when choosing the suitable scaffolds, we should first consider the maximum weight that the scaffolds can bear, such as supermarkets, schools, hospitals, office buildings, hotels and other places. Because the ground is good, smooth and the goods carried are lighter (each scaffold bears 50-150 kg), it is suitable to choose the plated wheel frame formed by 3-4 mm stamping of thin steel plate, which has light wheel frame and light operation. Flexible, quiet and beautiful. The plated wheel frame can be divided into two rows of balls and one row of balls according to the arrangement of balls. If it moves and moves frequently, it should use double rows of balls. In factories and warehouses, where goods are frequently transported and loaded heavily (each caster bears 150-680 kg), it is suitable to use double rows of balls which are stamped and hot forged and welded with 5-6 mm thick steel plate; if it is used to carry heavy goods such as textile factories and automobile factories. In mechanical factories and other places, because of the heavy load and long walking distance (each caster bears 700-2500kg), the welding wheel frame with 8-12mm thick steel plate should be selected. The movable wheel frame uses plane ball bearings on the bottom plate, so that the casters can have the functions of high load-bearing, flexible rotation and anti-impact at the same time.

3. How to calculate the load-bearing capacity of casters: In order to calculate the load-carrying capacity of various casters, it is necessary to know the self-weight of transport equipment, the maximum load and the number of casters used. The load capacity of a caster is calculated as follows: T=(E+Z)/M*N:T=the load capacity of a caster; E=the dead weight of the transport equipment; Z=the maximum load; M=the number of casters used; N=the safety factor (about 1.3-1.5).
