Avoid improper use or improper equipment. The caster purchaser is responsible for the proper maintenance and operation of the caster equipment. How to ensure that the casters can be used normally? Correct operating procedures can extend the service life of the casters.
1. Check brackets and fasteners regularly. Tighten loose shafts and nuts and check for damage to welds or support plates. Overloading or impact can cause scaffolding to deform. Deformed brackets tilt the weight over the individual wheels, causing premature wheel failure.
2. Regularly add lubricating oil, wheels and movable bearings for long-term use. Apply lubricating oil to the wheel shaft, and the sealing ring and the roller bearing friction part reduce friction and make the rotation more flexible. Typically, lubrication is done every six months.
3. The casters should not be too loose or too tight, and damaged casters should be replaced in time to avoid unstable rotation. When inspecting and replacing rear wheels, lock washers and nuts must be tightened to the wheel axle. Looseness of the shaft will cause friction between the wheel and bracket and the mold.
4. If the steering is too loose, replace it immediately. If the center rivet is fastened to a nut, it must be securely locked. If it does not turn freely, check the ball for corrosion or dirt.
5. The function of industrial casters cannot be changed, and the universal wheels are not affected by the installation device. Fixed industrial casters must be in line from wheel to wheel. The axis of rotation must always be vertical.
6. If fixed industrial casters are used together with rotating industrial casters, all industrial casters must be compatible with each other. If only swivel industrial casters are used, they must be consistent.
The above introduction is the maintenance skills of industrial casters summarized by Shangxin brand casters. I hope it can be helpful to you.
