How To Design Heavy Duty Casters

Bracket Design for Heavy Duty Casters

The brackets of heavy-duty casters usually use metal materials as the main body, including ordinary steel plate stamping, cast steel forming, die forging steel forming, etc., usually flat-plate assembly. The steel plate thickness of heavy-duty casters is generally 8mm, 10mm, 16mm and more than 20mm. At present, Wanda's 12-ton heavy-duty casters designed for CNPC are made of 30mm thick steel plates and 40mm pallets, which effectively ensure the safety of the loaded products.

Rotating plate design for heavy duty casters

Heavy-duty casters usually use double-layer steel ball tracks, stamping and heat treatment. For the rotating plate of the extra-heavy caster, the plane ball bearing or plane needle bearing with greater force is generally used, and the conical bearing is matched, which effectively improves the load capacity of the heavy-duty caster. For the special impact-resistant heavy-duty universal wheel, the rotating plate is made of die-forged steel, which is finished and formed, which effectively avoids the welding of the connecting plate bolts, and improves the impact resistance of the caster with greater strength.
