Pressed Steel Castors
Pressed steel castors are used in a wide variety of applications such as trolleys, shop-fitting equipment, displays, institutional and apparatus equipment as medical applications. They are available as Swivel Only, Swivel & Brake or Fixed (sometime called Rigid) castors.The forks of the castor, which are the two side p...lates that hold the wheel, are formed by machine pressing a single piece of steel.
They can be secured to your equipment by either a multiple hole (usually 4 Hole) Top Plate fastening or a single Bolt Hole Fitting which can be fitted with an expander fitting to suit a hollow tube.
The swivelling characteristics of pressed steel castors are affected by the castor's offset and wheel diameter. Furthermore, the construction of the swivel bearing also plays a part.
- A single ball race swivel castor is suitable for apparatus and transportation (e.g. trolleys) and enable good steering with a compact design.
- A double ball race swivel castor is available for medium and heavy duty requirements and it provides excellent performance under heavier loads as compared with a single ball race.

Load Capacity = 250kgNylon is a high quality, low maintenance, impact resistant wheel that has a high load capacity. The nylon material is extremely resistant to salts, greases, acids and alkalis and will not mark or damage concrete floors. This makes Nylon probably the most castor wheel material.The wheel has a roller bearing in the hub (central part of the wheel) which consists of rollers made of steel within a cage. These rollers rotate between the axle tube and the wheel hub. This makes the rolling resistance of the bearing relatively slight, even under heavy loads. Roller bearings are rugged, robust and largely maintenance-free.Qty - In Stock
