What materials are the wheels of a universal wheel usually made of?


A swivel wheel is what is called a movable caster. Its structure allows for 360 degrees of horizontal rotation. Casters is a general term

Including movable casters and fixed casters. Fixed casters have no rotation structure, can only be rotated vertically, not horizontally. Casters are usually used together. For example, a trolley is constructed with two fixed wheels at the front and two movable cardan wheels at the rear, near the push rail.

The advantages of universal wheel are wide load range, wear resistance, impact resistance, high/low temperature resistance, heavy load, conductivity, anti-static, anti-aging, shock resistance, corrosion resistance and low noise.

There are many kinds of universal wheel materials, the commonly used materials are: nylon, polyurethane, rubber, cast iron and other materials. Widely used in mining, mechanical equipment, electronic equipment, medical equipment, engineering decoration, textile, printing and dyeing, furniture, logistics equipment, warehousing, turnover car, chassis, cabinet, equipment, mechanical and electrical, dust-free workshop, production line, large supermarkets and other industries and various fields.

Industrial casters have a wide variety of single wheels, in size, model, tire tread, etc. Accessories of industrial casters mainly include the following aspects:

Anti-entanglement cover: It is used to avoid entangling the gap between the axle and the support and the wheel with other materials, so that the wheel can rotate freely.

Sealing ring: Avoid steering bearing or single wheel bearing into dust, keep its lubricity, easy to rotate. Steering lock: The movable casters can be locked into fixed casters by locking the steering bearing with a spring latch (four or two position lock).

Single - wheel brake: A manual or foot - operated brake device mounted on a wheel bush or tire surface. Full brake: A brake that locks the steering and holds the wheel in place.

Support frame: A device installed under a conveyance to hold it in place.

Others: include steering arm, lever, rubber cushion, cushion and other parts with specific purpose.
