Description
Plate Caster Model 9 Rigid Caster is the matching plate caster for the Model 9 Swivel Caster. When manually moving equipment supported by 4 swivel casters it can be difficult to control the direction you are pushing or pulling. Rigid casters assist in controlling equipment being moved in straight line travel. Equipment with rigid casters installed can not move sideways. Rigid Casters are usually installed at the opposite end of the push handle. Leg thickness is 1/4”. The axle diameter is 1/2” long and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This caster is constructed from stamped steel.
Rigid Casters can carry more weight than swivel casters because they do not have an offset. Nevertheless, on our website both rigid casters and matching swivel casters are shown with the same capacity. Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.
Where loads are too heavy for floor protective wheels, or where unusually severe service factors are present, Ductile steel caster wheels will do the job. Usually in these applications the user will not consider floor wear as too great a penalty considering the work that is being done. Also available in V-groove caster wheel design, which is used to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track. Elevated track minimizes problems caused by floor debris. The relief groove at the base of the “V” equalizes the load on each face of the angle.
When not operating on track, the considerable wheel tread on each side of the V-groove allows for use on smooth floors. It is important that if more than one track is used they are parallel, straight and level. Otherwise V-groove wheels may bind or run up over the track.
V-Groove Solid Stainless Steel wheels are also available.
V-Groove Ductile steel caster wheels have high ductility and tensile strength, and thus can absorb shock or impact to a point. These solid wheels are incredibly durable in normal service. Their load ratings are limited by bearing capacity only. These steel wheels are capable of temperatures up to 700° F depending upon the application. At temperatures above 400° F continuous, steel roller bearings and spanner bushings can start to anneal. In applications where temperatures are above 400° F please consult our engineering department for further assistance.
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. comes with the same large selection of wheels, some of which are also NSF and ROHS compliant.
