Learn the reasons why universal casters are difficult to turn in one article and make your casters run more flexibly!

Universal industrial casters are commonly used in furniture, medical equipment, logistics vehicles and other important components of the field, to improve the flexibility of industrial casters on the daily operation of the equipment, movement, the operation of the workers and other impact is very large, for example, a universal wheel quality, size requirements, load bearing requirements are no problem, however, in the process of use, the operation of the words but a very strenuous, it will reduce the efficiency of the impact of the experience, then what is the reason for the difficulty in rotating the universal industrial casters?

Cause analysis
1.1 Oil, dust and other sundries

In the process of use, hair, dust and other debris on the ground will be brought inside the bearings by the casters, causing the bearings to jam, thus preventing the casters from rotating normally.

1.2 Insufficient lubrication

If the bearings are not adequately lubricated, the coefficient of friction will increase, which will cause the caster to rotate with difficulty.

1.3 Problems with the quality of the caster itself

If there are problems with the quality of the caster itself, such as inaccurate manufacturing, bad materials, etc., it will lead to caster rotation difficulties.

Solutions
2.1 Replacement of casters with anti-tangle covers
A simple anti-tangle cover can effectively avoid the risk of bearings being stuck by mud, sand, hair, etc. When you buy casters, you must choose the one with anti-tangle cover, which is not bad for a few dollars, and saves your mind and trouble.

2.2 Replacement of grease
Now the general bearing lubrication are used grease (general lithium grease), this grease to the low temperature environment, the lubrication effect is greatly reduced, you can use molybdenum disulfide-based grease, lubrication effect is better, with high temperature, low temperature characteristics, enough to make your caster friction coefficient becomes smaller, push more convenient!

2.3 Regular maintenance

In order to avoid the occurrence of caster rotation difficulties, casters should be maintained regularly during use. Cleaning bearings, adding lubricating oil and other operations should be part of the routine maintenance work.

Flexibility is the use of universal industrial casters in the use of the basic performance should have, the flexibility of the better universal industrial casters in the use of the process is more flexible, more convenient, of course, better efficiency, and this will be because of the materials, bearings, the site of the reasons affecting the flexibility of the most important point is, of course, to choose a good universal casters manufacturer is more important!
