About Caster Wheel Bearings
The type of bearing used in a castor wheel affects the running properties of it and therefore the mobility of the unit they are fitted to:
Plain Bore Bearings (Plain Bore)
This is the most economical type of bearing. In fact, there isn't one. The wheel turns around an axle tube. They are great if the equipment they are attached to does not have to move much and when it does without a great deal of weight on it. Under normal circumstances, they are maintenance free and corrosion resistant.
Revvo PT Designer industrial wheels are available with a keyway.
Roller Bearings
This type has a series of steel rollers within a cage. The rollers rotate between the axle tube and the wheel hub. Using these bearings means that the rolling resistance of the bearing is very small, even under heavy load. This type of bearing is the most commonly used especially for transportation equipment. They are robust and generally maintenance free. Please note, in stainless steel castors the rollers are stainless steel and in high temperature wheels, the cage is made from steel.
Ball Bearings
Castor wheel ball bearings consist of a stamped sheet metal housing enclosing an inner and outer ring. The ball bearings run between these two rings. This type of bearing has excellent running properties even under very heavy loads and at high speeds. Because the bearings are sealed, these bearings do not need to be lubricated. This is the engineers choice for apparatus castors and heavy duty casters in most applications.Read More
200mm Polyurethane Tyre on a Cast Iron Centre (... Read MoreFlexello) with a 20mm Roller Bearing. Load Capacity = 1045kg
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 it 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 start the wheel rolling.

This wheel is often used in conveyor and transportation systems.The Load capacity quoted is for operation under ideal conditions where the wheel operates infrequently and on a smooth surface. The wheel's load capacity must be reduced as indicated for any of the following conditions. Please note that these are cumulative if more than one condition exists:
Reduce load by 25% if continuous use for more than 45 minutes.
Reduce Load by further 30% if used as Drive Wheel.
Reduce load by further 30% if used at speeds greater than 6kp/h.
