1. The choice of caster material:
The materials of the wheels are usually: nylon, rubber, polyurethane, cast iron, plastic and so on.
Whether driving on the ground indoors or outdoors, polyurethane wheels can meet the handling requirements of users.
Elastic wheels are suitable for hotels, medical equipment, wooden floors, tile floors, etc., when walking on quiet and low-noise grounds.
Nylon wheels and iron wheels are suitable for places with uneven ground or iron filings.
2. How to choose the caster bracket correctly:
When choosing a suitable caster bracket, generally the weight of the caster must first be considered.
Such as supermarkets, schools, hospitals, office buildings, hotels, etc., because the ground is good and flat, the cargo is light (each caster can carry 50-150kg), and the electroplated wheel frame stamped and formed by 3-4mm steel plate is used, which is light and flexible. , Quiet and beautiful.
In factories and warehouses, where goods are frequently transported and the load is heavy (each caster carries 150-680kg), it is advisable to use 5-6mm thick steel plate hot forged and welded double volleyball for the wheel frame.
If it is used to carry heavy objects, such as textile factories, automobile factories, machinery factories, etc., due to the heavy load and long walking distance (each caster can carry 700-2500kg), the wheel frame should be welded with 8-12mm thick steel plate after cutting. . The movable wheel frame adopts flat ball bearings and ball bearings on the bottom plate, so that Wanda casters can withstand heavy loads, rotate flexibly and resist impact.
3. Select the diameter of the casters:
Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the wheel, the smaller the pushing force and the stronger the obstacle ability.
Under normal circumstances, 4-6 inch casters are suitable for products that often need to be promoted, such as supermarket shopping carts, logistics trolleys, etc.
If the equipment does not need to be pushed frequently, such as furniture, refrigerators, etc., only need to be moved during sanitation. Choose casters smaller than 3 inches.
4. Ensure the flexibility of wheel rotation
The larger the wheel, the less force it has to turn. Needle roller bearings can carry heavy objects and have high resistance during rotation. The single wheel adopts good ball bearings, which can withstand heavier loads and rotate more easily, flexibly and quietly.
5. Product temperature conditions:
Severe cold and high temperature have a great influence on casters. For example, polyurethane wheels can rotate freely at a low temperature of minus 45°C, and high-temperature resistant wheels can easily rotate at a high temperature of 270°C
