Technical Specifications
















Description
The Phenolic Wheel Model 50 Plate Caster is similar to the Model 30 in many ways. They both use the same wheels, have greased fittings, and zinc coated plates for rust protection. Their differences is in the larger mount size and thicker legs.
Popular options include a face contact wheel brake to lock the wheels, and a hand operated swivel lock that converts a swivel caster into a rigid caster for direct line travel.ย
Phenolic caster wheels make an excellent, low cost choice for supporting high standing loads that move infrequently. Phenolic caster wheels are capable of withstanding the impact shocks of obstructions or shock loads, and will not develop a flat spot if left parked for a prolonged period. Phenolic can absorb water and other chemicals if excessive exposure occurs. This caster wheel comes with either a roller bearing or precision sealed ball bearings. This wheel comes in diameters ranging from 3โ to 18โ and the width of the wheels ranges from 1-ยผโ to 4โ. All phenolic wheels have a Durometer of Shore D 90 and the temperature range is -40ยฐ to +250ยฐ F. Contact us if you need help with placing an order: 800-501-3808
