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

Changing the bore size:
The hub of this wheel arrives to you fitted with a 16mm (5/8" bearing). This can be removed and replaced with 19mm (3/4" bushes) wheel bushes if needed. The 19mm bushings are included in the kit.To change the bore size simply remove the existing bearings by gently prising both out with a screwdriver and hammer. To prevent damaging the new bushings when knocking them in gently with a hammer, it is recommended that a piece of wood is placed over the bearing:The wheel has a 75mm hub (the distance through the central bore). This can be extended to suit your wheelbarrow by the use of the spacers supplied (see image below for details):When replacing your wheelbarrow's front wheel, it is advised that you remove the wheel from the wheelbarrow and check the shaft size and the hub length (the distance through the central bore) before purchasing. If you have any doubts, please do not hesitate to phone or send us an email for assistance.
