Castors
Castors and wheels are components that attach to a wide range of equipment to make them mobile. Examples include, trolley castors, platforms, cabinets, workbenches and other transportation equipment. They are bought to replace existing castors or added as a new component to turn stationary equipment into a mobile unit.The ...castor's bracket or housing can be Fixed (Rigid) or Swivelling.
Fixed castor brackets can only move in two directions, forwards and backwards. Subsequently, they are described as as straight-line movement.
Swivel castor brackets can swivel the castor wheel 360 degrees. As a results they can move in any direction. Furthermore, they can be lockable with a brake. The brake can be either a wheel lock, Wheel Footbrake or a Swivel & Wheel Brake (also called a Total Stop Brake). Swivel and wheel brakes lock both the wheel and the castor's swivel head. A Wheel lock or a Wheel Footbrake locks the caster wheel only.
We stock a massive range of castor wheels to use in castor frames. Nylon, Polypropylene, Rubber Tyre, Polyurethane and Cast Iron are probably the most popular. Each type of wheel is available with either a smooth plain bore, a roller bearing or ball bearings.

For the compression performance, please see the image for the curve by clicking on the thumbnail image above. To use this curve, please calculate the weight being carried by this castor and divide that by the one less than the number of castors on your equipment, So if you have a trolley using 4 of these castors and the total weight being carried is 500kg, then the compression of the rubber pad is the reading given on the y axis at 167kg (500kg / 3 = 167kg) which is just over 10mm.

The Swivel Bracket has a 4 hole top plate with 80x60mm bolt hole spacing. The load capacity of this castor is 150kg using manual propulsion at 4km/h (walking speed)
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 ball 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.</p>
