Construction Characteristics and Application Fields of Caster Wheel

In modern times, with the rise of the industrial revolution, more and more equipment needs to be moved, so caster wheel are more and more widely used in the world, almost inseparable from all walks of life.

 In modern times, with the continuous development from the perspective of science and technology, the equipment's versatility and utilization rate are getting higher and higher, casters have become an indispensable part. This paper introduces the structure and application of casters,other products we also provide gate guide roller, V-Groove Wheel.

The following knowledge points are listed below:

Construction characteristics of caster wheel

Applications of caster wheel

1. Construction characteristics of caster wheel

(1) installation height of caster wheel: refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the installation position of the equipment, while the installation height of caster wheel refers to the maximum vertical distance from the caster floor to the wheel.

(2)caster wheel bracket steering center distance: refers to the horizontal distance between the vertical line of the center rivet and the center of the caster wheel core.

(3)caster wheel rotation radius: refers to the horizontal distance between the vertical line of the center rivet and the outer edge of the tire, and the appropriate spacing enables the caster to turn 360 degrees.Whether the rotation radius is reasonable or not directly affects the service life of caster wheels

(4)caster wheel running load: caster bearing capacity is also known as dynamic load when moving. The dynamic load of caster depends on different test methods in the factory and different materials of the caster wheel. The key is whether the structure and quality of the support can resist impact and shock.

(5) impact load of caster wheel: the instantaneous load-bearing capacity of caster wheel when the equipment is hit or shaken by the bearing object.Static load static load static load static load: the amount of weight a caster wheel can bear at rest.In general, the static load should be 5 ~ 6 times of the running load (dynamic load), and the static load should be at least 2 times of the impact load.

(6)caster wheel steering: hard, narrow wheels are easier to turn than soft, wide wheels.The rotation radius is an important parameter of caster wheel rotation. If the rotation radius is too short, it will increase the difficulty of steering.

(7) caster wheel driving flexibility: factors affecting driving caster wheel flexibility with stents of the structure and the selection of caster wheel, the size of the caster wheel, wheel type, bearing, wheel driving the greater flexibility, the better, hard on the smooth ground, narrow wheel than flat soft wheels and effort, but on the uneven ground soft wheels and effort, but on the uneven ground soft wheels can better protect device and shock.

2. Applications of caster wheel

Caster wheels are mainly used in the trolley, mobile scaffolding, workshop trucks and so on very widely.

The simplest invention is often the most important, and caster wheel have this quality.At the same time, the level of development of a city is often positively related to the number of caster wheel used, such as Shanghai, Beijing,Tianjin, Chongqing, Wuxi, Chengdu, Xi 'an, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Dongguan,Shenzhen and other cities are very high utilization rate of caster wheel

Caster wheels are constructed from a single wheel mounted on a bracket, which is used to mount the caster wheels under the device for free movement.Caster wheels are mainly divided into two categories:

A. Fixed caster wheel: fixed bracket with a single wheel, can only move along a straight line.

B. Movable caster wheel: 360 degree steering bracket with a single wheel can be driven in any direction at will.

There are many kinds of caster wheel, which are different in size, type and tire surface.Select the right wheel under the following conditions:

A. Use the site environment.

B. Capacity of the product.

C. The working environment contains chemicals, blood, grease, oil, salt and other substances.

D. any of various special climates, such as humidity, high temperature, or cold

E shock resistance, collision resistance and driving tranquility requirements.
