Castor wiki
This page carries CastorWiki-style content commonly found on the reference site. Before launch, it should be expanded with real HENTAKE products, drawings and cases.
What parts make up a caster?
A common caster usually includes the wheel, bracket, bearing, mounting plate or stem, swivel structure and brake structure. Different structures affect load, steering, mounting height and maintenance.
What should be checked first?
First confirm equipment weight, caster quantity per unit, floor condition, speed, frequency, brake requirement, mounting dimensions and environmental influence.
Which parameters cannot be guessed?
Load capacity, wheel diameter, mounting hole distance, material, bearing, temperature range, chemical resistance and delivery time must follow confirmed data.
Load capacity
Confirm static load, dynamic load, offset load, impact and safety factor; avoid only averaging total weight.
Brake systems
Distinguish wheel brake, direction lock and total lock; choose with parking, ramps, operating space and maintenance requirements.
Bearing types
Confirm bearing or bushing structure by speed, noise, dust, water, oil and maintenance conditions.
Mounting method
Confirm dimensions and fixing method for top plate, threaded stem, bolt hole or special mounting.
Wheel configurations
Confirm swivel and fixed caster combination by turning radius, straight-line stability, load distribution and route.
Maintenance and replacement
Record wear, deformation, noise, brake failure and replacement history to support after-sales judgment.
Selection process
- Submit equipment and application information.
- Confirm wheel material, bracket structure and mounting method.
- Check drawings, samples, quantity and delivery time.
- Prepare a formal quotation or sample suggestion.
