The difference between swivel wheel and fixed wheel casters are divided into fixed casters and swivel casters, but we occasionally hear people talking about swivel casters, so what kind of movable casters, swivel casters and fixed casters and what is the difference? The following is our Jianli castor factory to discuss with you:

1. The difference between flexible turns

Swivel casters: can be flexible turning in the plane, it is worth noting that the turning radius with the brake is not the same, and the turning radius of the side brake and double brake is not the same.

Fixed casters: Only forward and backward.

2. The difference of linear motion stability

Swivel casters: when walking fast, it is easy to offset the direction, which leads to the smooth linear motion, showing the difficult to control the situation.

Fixed casters: can walk fast, not easy to occur direction deviation, because the left and right direction is locked, only forward or backward.

3. Differences in the requirements for pavement smoothness

Swivel casters: suitable for smooth road surface, usually used in the indoor situation.

Fixed casters: can adapt to a certain degree of uneven road surface, can be used outdoors.

4. Cost difference

Swivel casters: Swivel casters of the same model tend to cost more than fixed casters because they are more complex in design and have more functions.

Fixed casters: Relatively cheap, if no special requirements, choose fixed casters, but usually swivel casters will be used with fixed casters.

In short, there are differences between swivel casters and fixed casters. The above four points are common differences between them, but there is no saying which type of casters is better. In many cases, they all need to be used together.

As for casters, there is usually its classification, so how to classify it? It can be divided into two categories, namely universal wheel and directional wheel. The so-called swivel wheel is able to turn through the force of the propellant when pushing forward. The swivel casters that we occasionally talk about are actually swivel casters. So when you look at the caster bracket, you will see such types as flat plate casters, screw casters, insert rod casters, and so on, which is actually swivel casters.
