DefinitionA caster is a mechanical component consisting of a wheel mounted in a yoke, combined with a fixing system (plate, central hole, stem or sleeve) that allows mounting under a support. It provides mobility to equipment or loads by transforming translational movement into wheel rotation, reducing the effort required for movement.
Materials- Yoke in yellow dichromated steel.
- Swivel on precision ball bearings.
- Cover in nylon.
- Wheel core in polyamide.
- Tread in polyurethane, hardness 42° Shore D.
- Precision ball bearings.
VersionMounting type: stem. Available in 3 versions:
- Without brake.
- With 2-function brake (total lock or free).
- With 3-function brake (total lock, free and directional lock).
Dimensional range- Wheel diameter (d1): 125 to 200 mm.
- Tread width (l2): 32 or 35 mm.
- Offset (l1): 35 to 60 mm.
- Nominal load: 150 kg.
Use- Operating temperature: -30 °C to +80 °C.
- Centralized locking possible to lock several casters simultaneously using a single brake pedal.
- 2-function brake: total lock or free.
- 3-function brake: total lock, free and directional lock.
- Cam angle: 45°.
- High mobility and resistance to shocks and rapid movements; suitable for stretchers and hospital beds.
