Industrial casters and domestic casters differ in their choice of materials.to adapt to their different operating environments and load requirements.
Material characteristics of industrial casters
Metal:Commonly used in heavy industry and harsh environments, the such as steel and stainless steel.This is because they have high strength and good load bearing capacity.
Nylon:with high strength, toughness and wear resistance.Suitable for industrial environments that require good load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance.
TPU:Wear-resistant, oil-resistant, flexible For industrial applications requiring stable performance.However, the hydrolysis resistance is relatively poor.
Rubber:Providing a high coefficient of friction and good vibration damping properties, the Suitable for industrial applications where vibration cushioning is required.
Material characteristics of household casters
Plastic:such as nylon and TPU.Lightweight, drop and corrosion resistant, the Variety of colors.Suitable for home and office environments.
Composites:Combining the advantages of multiple materials.such as high-strength, lightweight, corrosion-resistant.Ideal for domestic applications where high performance is required.
When selecting casters, the Suitable materials should be selected according to the actual application scenarios and needs of the To ensure stable operation and efficient work of the equipment.
