4″ Phenolic Wheel – Stainless Steel Stem K3

Description

4″ Phenolic Wheel. Shown in photo with 5″ wheels. This economy stainless steel stem caster K3 is made from 304 stamped stainless steel and stands up to corrosive environments well, especially suitable for washdowns due to having an open design swivel bearing, which allows for less water to be collected in the raceways. This stainless steel stem caster uses a ⅜” diameter axle and the swivel caster raceway is held together by a ½” diameter rivet. This economy stainless steel stem caster’s swivel bearing is held together by two ball bearings. This caster is excellent for washdown situations due to having no swivel bearing cover or a grease fitting, which helps facilitate water draining through the swivel bearing and raceways. This stem caster performs best if you limit the load to no more than 1000 lbs on a set of 4 Model K3 casters.

Phenolic caster wheels are a hard composition, non-marking wheel that is excellent for large loads that do not move often. Phenolic can not develop a flat spot if left parked for a long period under load, and the wheel is capable of withstanding shock loads and the impacts of small obstructions. Phenolic can absorb water and other chemicals if excessive exposure occurs. Phenolic caster wheels come standard with a roller bearing and have precision sealed ball bearings as an option. This caster wheel comes in diameters that range from 3” to 18” and the width of the wheels ranges from 1-¼” to 4”. All phenolic wheels have a Durometer of Shore D 90 and the temperature range is -40° to +250° F. Contact us if you need help with placing an order: 800-501-3808
