Casters, also known as wheels or rollers, are important components of various equipment, machines, furniture and transportation tools. Choosing the right casters can not only improve the mobility of the equipment, but also ensure its smooth and safe operation.
Before wheels evolved into today's casters, the use of wheels was also quite common. At first, it was only to save energy and facilitate the movement of heavy objects. With the continuous development of human beings, the requirements for wheels have continued to increase. Later, wheels were changed into today's casters, which can be used conveniently by us.
The existence of casters brings great convenience to people's lives. We all know that wheels can reduce people's weight and make transfer more convenient, but generally wheels can only move forward or backward. It is troublesome to change direction. Now the diverse characteristics of casters have solved this problem.
The movable caster is also called the universal wheel, and its structure allows 360-degree rotation; the fixed caster is also called the fixed caster, which has no rotating structure and cannot roll. Usually, the two types of casters are generally used in combination. For example, the structure of a trolley is two fixed wheels in the front and two universal wheels in the back near the push armrest.
With the continuous development of modern technology, casters have been involved in all walks of life. According to the needs of different professions, various casters are constantly created to adapt to the current environment, so casters have become an indispensable component, and the development of casters has become a special profession.
What factors should be considered when choosing casters? 1. Consider the ground: Casters are generally used on flat ground. If the ground is uneven and hard objects or iron filings remain, in this case, harder
casters, such as iron wheels and nylon wheels, must be used.
2. Consider the on-site environment: polyurethane casters are generally used in external environments or floors with acid and alkali. In environments
where the temperature is 60° or above, high-temperature resistant casters or iron wheels are generally used. In a low temperature environment of minus
30°C, it is more appropriate to use rubber wheels. c. Consider the surrounding environment: If you need a low-noise environment, you must use
casters made of softer, elastic polyurethane, artificial rubber and other materials, such as offices, hospitals, floors, quiet workshops, and dense
transportation channels in shopping malls.
