Introduction To Professional Terms Of Casters

1. The height of the device

The installation height of industrial casters refers to the maximum vertical distance between the bottom plate of the caster and the wheel. Refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the location of the equipment.

2. Driving load

The load-bearing capacity of casters when moving, also known as dynamic load. The dynamic load of the universal wheel varies due to the implementation of the specification and the test method of the factory. It also varies with the material of the wheels. The key is whether the structure and quality of the bracket can resist shock and shock.

3. Shock load

The instantaneous load-bearing capacity of the caster when the equipment is impacted or vibrated by the load.

4. Static load

The static load should be at least twice the shock load. The weight the caster can bear at rest. In general, the static load should be twice the exercise load.

5. Rotation radius

Appropriate spacing allows the casters to turn 360 degrees. Whether the turning radius is reasonable or not directly affects the service life of the caster, which refers to the horizontal distance from the vertical line of the center rivet to the outer edge of the tire.

6. Driving flexibility

On a stable ground, the factors that affect the flexibility of the caster are: the structure of the bracket and the selection of the steel of the bracket, the size of the wheel, the type of the wheel, the bearing, etc. The bigger the wheels, the better the driving flexibility. Hard, narrow wheels require less effort than flat-sided, soft wheels. But on uneven ground, soft wheels save effort. And on uneven ground, soft wheels can better maintain equipment and absorb shocks.

7. Bracket steering center distance

Refers to the horizontal distance from the vertical line of the center rivet to the center of the wheel core.

8. Steering

A turning radius that is too short will increase the difficulty of turning. Hard, narrow wheels are easier to turn than soft, wide wheels. The turning radius is an important parameter of the wheel turning. If it is too large, it will cause the wheel to shake and shorten its life.
