How many types of caster wheels?

Industrial casters can be supplied with various different fixing brackets. Typically these include:

stem swivel caster

1. Fixed Casters – a wheel that can move only in one plane of direction. Typically is mounted to the equipment using 4 bolt holes. Ideal for fitting to flat surfaces.
2. Top Plate Swivel Casters – a bracket with 4 bolt holes for mounting to the equipment. The bracket has a ball bearing swivel mechanism to allow a full 360 degrees of rotation / movement. Ideal for fitting to flat surfaces.
3. Bolt Hole Swivel Casters – a bracket with a single bolt hole, allowing the castor wheel to be fitted with a single bolt. Also has a ball bearing swivel mechanism for 360 degrees movement. Ideal for fitting into tubes & box sections and blind threaded holes.
4. Single Stud Casters – Identical to the Bolt Hole Caster but with the Bolt pre-fabricated to the castor. Ideal for fixing to threaded inserts and tubes and box sections
5. Stem Casters – Similar to the Single Stud Castor, but has a plain shaft/stem that is pressed into a mating connector to fix to the equipment.
6. Expanding Insert Casters – This is an adaptation of the Bolt Hole Castor. As the Bolt is passed through the hole it passed through a plastic inserts that expands. The inserts is placed inside either a round or square box section, when the insert expands locks the castors onto the equipment.

Thanks to the suitcase's all-terrain retractable wheels, which work similar to aircraft landing gear. An inbound motor propels the suitcase forward, it has a follow rate of up to 4.5 mph and can climb slopes up to 15 degrees. Multiple sensors keep it from slamming into stuff or toppling down stairs. Plus, its built-in GPS not only helps you find it if it gets lost; it can also find you—rolling to you from across the room up to 164 feet away. Here, boy! Once again, further proof that wheels make everything better. And we provide  nyl...

7 Advantages of Polyurethane Wheels

Polyurethane when used to manufacture tires provides several key advantages like: 1. Resistant to sunlight, oxygen, ozone, and several other environmental factors. 2. Resistant to damage caused by abrasive chemicals. 3. Resistant to cuts and tears making it extremely durable. 4. In the same conditions as other materials, polyurethane wears at a slower rate making it more long lasting. 5. This material has higher tensile strength allowing it to carry heavier loads. 6. Since polyurethane is produced chemically, a number of variations are possible. The density and physical characteristics of the material can be modified according to the end use. 7. Polyurethane has excellent elastic memory. The flexibility offered by the material allows it to be used in several applications where plastic will fall short. Because of all the reasons listed above, polyurethane has become the preferred material in industrial as well as commercial applications. Since  polyurethane caster ...
