To choose a medium-sized caster that suits your needs, you need to consider the following professional factors:
1. Load-bearing capacity: First, determine the weight that the caster needs to carry, including the weight of the transport vehicle and the weight of the moving object. Calculate the load-bearing capacity of each caster according to the formula T = (E + Z) / M, where E is the weight of the transport vehicle, Z is the weight of the moving object, and M is the effective load-bearing number of wheels (generally 3 wheels). Considering the factors of uneven position and weight distribution, you should choose a caster that can support the maximum weight.
2. Size selection: When choosing a wheel, the larger the wheel size, the more it can disperse the weight and move more smoothly. The larger and wider the wheel, the stronger its load-bearing capacity. Therefore, the greater the total weight, the larger the wheel size is usually required.
3. Flexibility and steering performance: The flexibility and steering performance of the caster are crucial to work efficiency. The larger the eccentricity of the tripod, the more flexible the steering, but the corresponding reduction in load-bearing capacity. The larger the wheel diameter, the less effort it takes to push and the better it can protect the ground.
4. Use environment: Consider the environment in which the casters are used, such as ground materials, obstacles, residues, and special environmental factors (such as temperature, chemical corrosion, etc.). Casters used in special environments should be made of special materials.
5. Material: Choose casters of different materials according to the use environment. Plastic casters are light and durable, suitable for indoor use; rubber casters are anti-slip and shock-absorbing, suitable for wet or uneven ground; metal casters have strong load-bearing capacity, but may be heavy.
6. Brand and service: Choose casters from well-known brands, which usually have better quality and after-sales service. At the same time, consider the manufacturer's customized service capabilities to meet special needs.
7. Price and cost-effectiveness: Choose cost-effective products within the budget, but be aware that price is not the only criterion. If it is too cheap, the quality may not be guaranteed.
8. Quality certification: Ask for relevant quality certification and certificate of conformity when purchasing to ensure that the product is regular and qualified.
9. Installation precautions: Make sure the installation surface is flat, hard, and not loose. For directional casters, the two wheels must be in the same direction and parallel.
10. Industry recognized brand: Shangxin casters enjoy a high reputation and recognition in the market.
Combining these factors, you can make a more professional and accurate choice to ensure that the casters not only meet the current use needs, but also have long-term durability and reliability.
