Do you know what to look for when installing casters? Do you install the height of the caster? In the selection of casters, to determine the specifications of the casters, the correct installation of casters is also very important, not only to ensure the flexibility of the casters operation, improve operational efficiency; can also extend the service life of the casters, the following for you to introduce the correct installation of casters of the matters to be aware of:
Understanding Caster Installation Height
Caster installation height, is the caster in use, after the installation of casters in the height of the ground. The total height of the flat universal wheel or directional wheel is the installation height of the casters, the measurement method is the straight line distance from the flat plate to the bottom of the wheel.
Total Height vs. Mounting Height for Screw Casters
The total height and mounting height of a screw caster or a screw caster with brake represent 2 dimensions, as shown below: A represents the total height of the caster, and B represents the mounting height of the caster.
Important Installation Precautions
Installation Notes: 1, caster installation, to keep in the horizontal state for installation, 2, universal caster, to keep the swivel axis in the vertical state for installation 3, after confirming that the connection parts are fixed, select the appropriate size screws, nuts, spacers, etc., inserted into the mounting holes, tighten the casters until there is no gap, so as to avoid loosening. In particular, when screwing in the installation, please tighten the hexagonal part with appropriate torque. Avoid excessive screwing in and cause the rotating shaft to expand, causing breakage. 4, brake casters in the installation, please avoid the brake in the state of operation to screw the installation, because that will cause damage to the brake deformation, and performance deterioration. 5, directional wheel and universal wheel to choose the same specifications of the product, so that the degree of match is higher, the degree of coordination of the operation is better. After the installation of casters, try to ensure the stability and flexibility of each caster, everything is fine, you can rest assured that the operation.
