Industrial casters mainly refer to a kind of caster products used in factories or mechanical equipment. The whole product has high impact resistance and strength. The selection of industrial casters has a very significant impact on the construction efficiency of the whole project. Therefore, it is very important to select suitable industrial casters.
Generally speaking, we can divide industrial casters into many different models according to different sizes. These products can be designed according to the needs of users or purchased in the market. Casters have their own advantages and disadvantages, so how to buy suitable products? Here, SHANGXIN CASTER solves the problem for you:
1.Choose the right materials first: Universal wheels are usually made of nylon, rubber, polyurethane, artificial rubber, iron core packaging polyurethane, cast iron, plastic and so on. Polyurethane wheels can meet your processing requirements, whether indoors or outdoors on the ground; Hotel, medical equipment, wood floor, ceramic tile floor; Nylon wheel. Iron wheels are suitable for the ground. Iron wheels are suitable for ground materials.
2.If moving and handling frequently, double rows of beads should be used; In factories, warehouses and other places, goods are frequently transported and the load is heavy (each caster carries 150-680kg), which is suitable for double-row ball wheel frame and thick steel plate stamping and hot forging welding 5-6mm;; If it is used to carry heavy objects such as textile mills, automobile factories and machinery factories, due to heavy load and long walking distance (each caster bears 700-250kg), the wheel frame with thick steel plate welded after cutting should be selected, and the movable wheel frame should adopt plane ball bearings.
3.How to calculate the carrying capacity of casters: In order to calculate the carrying capacity of various casters, we must know the weight of transportation equipment, the maximum load and the number of casters used. The bearing capacity of casters is calculated as follows: T= (E + Z)/M × N: T= bearing capacity of casters; E = weight of transport equipment; Z = Maximum load; M = Number of casters used; N = factor of safety.
4.Choose caster diameter: Usually, the larger the wheel diameter, the easier it is to push and the greater the bearing capacity, so as to protect the ground from damage. The selection of wheel diameter should consider the bearing capacity and the starting thrust of the truck under load.
5.Correction wheel rotation flexibility: The larger the single wheel, the more labor-saving rotation, ball bearing weight, rotation resistance is small. Therefore, after installing high-quality ball bearings on single wheels, they can bear heavier loads, rotate lighter, more flexibly and quieter.
6.Product temperature conditions: Severe cold and high temperature have great influence on casters, so suitable casters should be selected according to their own transportation environment. For example, the polyurethane wheel can rotate flexibly at a low temperature of-45 ℃, and the high temperature resistant wheel can rotate gently at a high temperature of 270 ℃.
After the casters are in normal use, standardized daily maintenance can prolong the service life of casters. Male solid casters are considered to be maintained from several details. The specific analysis is as follows:
1.Loose or stuck casters will cause wear. Proper maintenance and inspection, especially the tightness of bolts. The amount of lubricating oil and replacement of damaged casters can improve the rolling performance and rotational flexibility of the equipment.
2.Check whether the wheel bearing is damaged. If the parts are not damaged, they can be reassembled and continued to be used. If the wheels are often entangled by sundries, it is recommended to install anti-entanglement covers to avoid them.
3.After checking the repaired wheels, make sure the bolts and nuts are tightened and use locker washers or locker nuts on all bolts as far as possible. If the bolt is loose, tighten it immediately. If the wheel mounted on the bracket is loose, the wheel will be damaged or unable to rotate, thus shortening the service life of the wheel.
