Stem swivel caster  mounting styles consist of what are known as “Plate casters” and “Stem casters”. Plate casters comprise a flat square plate with holes at each corner, which are meant to align with the mounting pattern found on carts and fixtures. These holes form what is known as the “bolt hole spacing” or BHS and is critical in mounting the caster to any cart. These plates come in various styles and are meant for mounting to various objects, so it is important to ensure the bolt hole spacing on the caster is the same as the product it is being attached to. Occasionally, plate casters may be welded to the cart. In this case, no bolt holes are necessary and only the overall dimensions of the plate come into play.

You can choose  industrial caster wheels  via environment protection. If you have a high-temperature environment, check the temperature rating for any  industrial casters  you purchase with rubber, phenolic, or polyurethane wheels. When these materials are subjected to higher temps, they often lose their rigidity, begin to flatten out, and “set” into your floor. The type of bearing you select is also important in extreme temperatures. If the bearing is not sealed in a high-temp environment, the grease can leak out. This leads to excessive wear on the caster over time. In similar fashion, check the freezer rating for your  industrial caster wheels . You'll want something that will still easily roll despite the low temperature, and special lubricants may be required.

You can choose your  industrial casters  through size. Diameter The larger the diameter, the easier it is to push or move your object, especially from a standstill. So before you place an order, make sure to measure the diameter of the caster you’re replacing. If that’s not an option, then keep in mind your application. A larger caster will be easier to move, but you don’t want to go so large that your load is too high or the center of gravity is off. To measure the diameter of your caster, lay it on its side and measure from edge to edge across the center of the wheel. Width In most cases, the width of industrial casters impacts its capacity, so the wider the caster, the more weight it can bear. If you are moving machinery or other heavy load, you will want to consider a wider caster. If you load is light, for example a work cart, you can likely select a more narrow caster. To measure the width of your caster, stand it up and measure from the edge of the wh...

There are many options for selecting your type of  industrial caster wheels . Have a good understanding of how the caster will be used and the type of environment in which it will be used. Selecting the wrong wheel type often leads to excessive wear and tear, meaning more casters and more money. Phenolic: Strong (up to 3500 lbs) Similar to steel but won’t tear up your floor Lightweight Okay for higher heat Steel: Strongest option with highest capacity options Will beat up a floor Performa rubber: Softer, quieter operation Could “set” if sitting with load for a few days, making it hard to get rolling again Not good in an oily environment Polyurethane: Won't set (like Performa) Provides a quiet operation Performs well in oily environments Can roll on most surfaces Polyolefin: Good for handling chemicals Noisy operation Cheaper alternative (less money) Works okay on carpet and most surfaces Through this news you ...
