Detailed explanation of the installation height of casters and installation precautions

Do you know any ideas or considerations when installing casters? Do you know the installation height of the casters? When selecting casters, it is important to determine the specifications of the casters and install them correctly. This not only ensures the flexibility of the casters during operation, but also improves work efficiency; It can also extend the service life of casters. Below are the instructions for correctly installing casters:

The installation height of the casters refers to the height of the casters from the ground after installation during use. The total height of the flat universal wheel or directional wheel is the installation height of the casters, measured by the straight-line distance from the flat plate to the bottom of the wheel.

The total height and installation height of threaded stem casters or threaded stem brake casters represent two dimensions, as shown in the following figure: A represents the load height of the casters, and B represents the total height of the casters.

Caster wheel installation precautions:

1. When installing the casters, they should be kept in a horizontal state for installation.
2. Universal casters should be installed with the rotating shaft in a vertical position.
3. After confirming that the connection part is fixed, select screws, nuts, washers, etc. of appropriate size, insert them into the installation hole, and tighten the foot wheel until there is no gap to avoid loosening. Especially when installing screws, please tighten the hexagon with appropriate torque. Avoid excessive tightening that may cause the rotating shaft to expand and cause fracture.
4. When installing the brake casters, please avoid screwing in the brakes while they are in operation, as this can cause damage, deformation, and performance degradation of the brakes.
5. Directional wheels and universal wheels should be selected with the same specifications for higher matching and better coordination of operations. After installing the casters, try to ensure the stability and flexibility of each caster. Once everything is fine, you can work with peace of mind.
