Braked Castors
Braked Castors are usually swivel castors with brakes. The Brake can lock either the wheel or the swivel head, or both. It is uncommon to find a fixed castor with a brake. Our GD Series of shock absorbing castors is one of the few that do. See GDS S...hock Absorbing Castors here.Braked Castors can swivel the wheel 360 degrees about the vertical axis. They consist of a housing with a lockable brake and a caster wheel. The housing itself is made up of a plate fitting, swivel bearings and a yoke. The Yoke is often referred to as the castor’s frame or bracket.
The plate fitting determines how the castor is going to be attached to the equipment. It is usually either a single bolt hole fitting or a plate fixing which is generally square, rectangular or triangular. Plate fittings are usually bolted to equipment so knowing your required bolt hole centres is important. The Swivel Head consists of a ball race and a number of ball bearings that roll within it. Braked Castors, like Swivel Castors, can either have a single ball race or a double ball race. They perform the same function. The double ball race was developed for medium and heavy applications. This is because they are compact, perform well under static and dynamic loads and provide excellent steerability.
Braked Castor Offset
The Braked Castor’s offset it the distance from the swivel axis to the centre of the wheel (where it is secured to the castor frame). It is the reason any swivelling castor will go in the direction you want it to go regardless its starting direction. Read More

The Swivel Brake Bracket has a 4 hole top plate with 80x60mm bolt hole spacing. The load capacity of this castor is 130kg using manual propulsion at 4km/h (walking speed)
The Blue Elastic Rubber Tyre offers a higher load capacity than standard grey or black rubber tyres and is non-marking, gentle on floors and the rubber absorbs vibrations whilst in motion making this a low noise option. The ball bearing lowers the rolling resistance to reduce the effort required to move the castors. Together with the strong bracket that has a double ball race in the swivel head makes this castors a truly great performer.</p>

The Polyurethane tyre offers a low tractive resistance making it easier to get moving compared with softer rubber tread wheels. It is also a bit softer than hard tread wheels making the castor smoother and quieter running. The polyurethane tyre is also non-marking and gentle on floors while the roller bearing lowers the rolling resistance to reduce the effort required to move the castors. Put this wheel into a strong bracket that has a double ball race in the swivel head and you have a castor that is a great choice for the wide range of industrial and domestic applications.

For the compression performance, please see the image for the curve by clicking on the thumbnail image above. To use this curve, calculate the weight being carried by this castor and divide that by the one less than the number of castors on your equipment.
For a typical example, with a trolley or machinery using 4 of these castors please divide the total weight by 3. If the total weight being carried is 500kg then the relevant reading for the compression of the rubber pad on the chart's 'Y' axis is given at 167kg (500kg / 3 = 167kg) along the 'X' axis, which is just over 10mm.
