Let me introduce to you how to correctly choose hardware casters.
Firstly, the load-bearing capacity of a single caster is determined based on the design load capacity. The load-bearing capacity of casters is the most basic and critical requirement for casters, and a certain safety margin should be left.
Secondly, choose suitable wheel materials based on the actual working conditions of the casters according to the site conditions. When used on rough ground, wheels should be made of wear-resistant and elastic rubber, polyurethane or super synthetic rubber; When working in special high or low temperatures, or in environments with large temperature differences, metal wheels or specially designed high-temperature resistant wheels should be selected; In places where it is required to prevent the accumulation of static electricity, it is best to use specialized anti-static wheels, or metal wheels (if the ground does not require protection); When there are a large number of corrosive media in the work environment, wheels with good corrosion resistance should be selected accordingly. Select the most suitable model based on the adaptability requirements of the caster in the usage environment. (Of course, the consideration for wheels commonly used in furniture is not high)
Thirdly, high-precision ball bearings have high rotational flexibility and operate smoothly and flexibly, especially suitable for high-end instruments and equipment and quiet environments; To protect the beautiful floor, please use soft rubber, polyurethane, and super synthetic rubber casters; To avoid leaving unsightly wheel marks on the ground, please choose specially made gray rubber casters, polyurethane wheels, super synthetic rubber wheels, and other wheels without wheel marks
Fourthly, according to various special requirements, appropriate accessories can be selected. Dust caps, sealing rings, and anti entanglement covers can keep the rotating parts of the casters clean, prevent entanglement of various fibers, and keep the casters flexible for long-term use; Single and dual brake devices can effectively prevent the rotation and turning of the wheels, allowing you to stay in any position.
