4″ Green Polyurethane on Iron Swivel Wheel -Model 9

Description

DO NOT ORDER SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS IF YOU ORDER THE TL – TOTAL LOCK BRAKE. THE TL BRAKE WILL NOT WORK WITH EITHER THE SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS.

Plate Caster Model 9 swivel casters are our most popular industrial caster because of its low initial cost and wide selection of wheels.  Under the mounting plate it has 2 rows of balls rotating on heat treated raceways.  The swivel has a nut and bolt center pin welded to withstand normal abuse in a manually moved application.  The kingpin bolt diameter is 5/8” and the leg thickness is 1/4”, welded on the inside and out.  The diameter of the axle is ½” and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”.  This caster is constructed from stamped steel.  The metal frames are zinc plated for rust resistance, and it has lubrication fittings for all moveable parts.  Model 9 has a broad selection of wheel brakes and swivel locks for most applications.  Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.

Polyurethane is superior to rubber in resistance to grease, oil, cutting, chunking, and abrasive wear. These caster wheels can be used on almost any factory floor. As with moldon rubber, the bonding agent which holds the polyurethane tire ( tread ) to its iron center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading, and the buildup of heat. Tire Hardness is Durometer : 95A.   Temperature range is -20° to 180° F.

The principle benefit of a polyurethane wheel over the same size rubber wheel is increased capacity. Given the same size load on a smooth floor, a polyurethane caster wheel rolls easier than the same size conventional rubber caster wheel. However, when used at full capacity, polyurethane is not easy rolling. Given a manual operation under ideal conditions, polyurethane caster wheels have a safe operating capacity of up to three times the capacity of the same size rubber wheel. Capacity ratings are offered as an idea of what the wheel will carry without failure. They are not absolute, but rather depend on the usage and service.
This caster is available in Stainless Steel Model 9.  It is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel.  This is an excellent caster for wet or corrosive applications if your total weight exceeds 1000lbs.  It comes with the same large selection of wheels, some of which are also NSF and ROHS compliant.
