How to choose the right industrial castor wheels

Rating & reviews (0 reviews)
Choosing the right wheel material is an important consideration for any industrial castor wheels as it can affect performance and lifespan.Have you ever passed empty cars and heard the sound of jets taking off while driving through a manufacturing plant? Not only is this inconvenient, but it also poses a risk to your hearing. While the rolling carts used for material handling are a source of noise, it is difficult to reduce noise in an industrial context. There are many cheap ways to build or customize cars to reduce noise, but dollars are always difficult to find in a budget. For many security engineers, the spread of "noise pollution" has become a major concern.

Identifying which material is best for a particular setting is essential because making the wrong choice can result in safety issues, poor performance or damage to the associated floor and track.

  • Weight: The larger the diameter, the more weight it can handle. Rough surfaces or high impacts will cut the load capacity in half. Roller bearings allow the arm to push harder due to less friction.

  • Surface: The larger the wheel, the more smoothly it will roll on all surfaces. On smooth surfaces, hard threads roll easiest, but on rough or soft surfaces, soft threads roll easiest, given the potential for floor damage. Environment: Wet or corrosive - specify the type of chemicals. Threads, Lint or Fluff: Specify threads guard.

  • Heat or Vacuum: Use Fenorex, reinforced nylon or cast iron. So that along with telling the temperature, a special grease can be used.

  • Choose forks considering: swivel or rigid fitting: how it will fit into the trolley. If appropriate - select required attachments (if available) Springs: Improve comfort, secure cargo and relieve impact stress to trolley.

  • Swivel and wheel locks: Make the trolley rigid and stable. Directional Lock: This allows for better tracking when locked and maximum maneuverability in confined spaces when unlocked.

  • Fitting: If fixed and swivel casters are to be used together, place a fixed caster at the front and the trolley turns more easily. Never attempt to partially insert a fitting into a deformed trolley to correct the asymmetry. With washers, you can change the position by up to 8mm, but make sure it doesn't float. Firmly tighten the tabular fitting. But don't be too strict. Next, choose a wheel material with the highest level of durability that meets the above requirements.

  • Technical help: The technical team is always available, eager and able to assist you in selecting the wheel material that best suits your application needs. For the best user experience and return on your investment, choose the right wheel material before using the Industrial castors Wheels in the application.

As a result, noise reduction is one of the key topics in our product development process. When it comes to casters, several acoustic sources are at work, starting with wheel rolling noises and mechanical noises generated when braking, to sound generated by steering motion. From an acoustic point of view, the relationship between the casters and the transport gear is also important. Vibration and associated resonance sounds can be transmitted at this junction. All of these factors are considered during the manufacturing process, and specific steps are taken to ensure the best sound design. Adopting the right, high-quality components also helps, such as wheel bearings with better running and damping characteristics.

The casters have long been the industry standard when it comes to reducing noise and protecting cargo in production environments. The results will be very reliable when a proper damper and spring arrangement is adopted, resulting in the desired noise reduction. The casters will not perform as expected and manufacturing processes can also increase noise levels if spring alignment is improperly designed.
