Generally, the casters we refer to are a general term. According to whether they have steering, they can be divided into fixed casters and non-fixed casters. Fixed casters have no rotating structure and cannot rotate, while non-fixed casters are also commonly called universal wheels. The structure of universal wheels allows 360-degree rotation. The other categories include movable casters, fixed casters and movable casters with brakes. Usually, the two types of casters are generally used together. Casters are made of many materials, such as pp casters, PVC casters, PU casters, cast iron casters, nylon casters, TPR casters, iron core nylon casters, iron core PU casters, etc. Commonly used casters are as follows:
1. Screw casters
The top of the screw caster has a screw. When in use, the screw is screwed into the threaded hole of the mounting plate. The top of the caster can rotate freely, which is convenient for moving the equipment.
2. Leveling casters
The biggest feature of the Fomar wheel is that it can not only play a fixed support role, but also roll and move, adjust the level of the equipment, and has a dustproof effect. Compared with ordinary casters, the price is relatively expensive, but the quality is very good.
3. Horizontal adjustment rollers
When the height of the adjustable foot cup is lowered, the equipment can be moved freely. When the height of the adjustable foot cup is raised, the overall height of the equipment can be raised and the equipment can be positioned.
4. Swivel casters
This type of caster is also known as a universal wheel. It is usually equipped with four mounting holes. The universal wheel is fixed to the bottom of the equipment with screws. There is a rotating mechanism on the top of the caster, which can rotate 360 degrees freely, which is convenient for moving the equipment. It is generally used with a directional wheel, mainly to facilitate the control of the direction of movement during movement.
5. Swivel adjustment leveling foot
This type of foot cup has a high load-bearing capacity. The screw and the base are connected by a ball head. It can be tilted, adjusted, and rotated in all directions within a range of 30 degrees. If the ground is uneven, it can automatically adjust the level to ensure the stability of the equipment.
6. Biaxial torque hinge
This hinge can achieve angle adjustment in two directions, and the adjustment range is any angle. It is usually used in checkout machines, small displays and other equipment.
There are many types of casters on the market. When choosing casters, we usually first consider the load-bearing weight, usage environment, and functionality to determine the type of caster, and then determine the specific caster's wheel diameter, material, structure and other factors to select the caster we need in the end.
