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
