FAQ โ Questions & Answers
What is the Zinc Model 9 Rigid Caster with HU Wheel designed for?
The Zinc Model 9 Rigid Caster with HU Wheel is designed for dry environments needing stable, straight-line movement and heavy load support, such as manufacturing plants or distribution centers.
What makes the HU Heavy Duty Gray Solid Polyurethane Wheel a good choice for this caster?
The HU wheel is a solid polyurethane design with a Shore D 65 durometer and a glass-filled nylon bearing collar, offering strength, low rolling resistance, and durability for heavy loads.
Why choose the Zinc Model 9 rigid bracket for this caster?
The Zinc Model 9 rigid bracket is made of zinc-plated steel, providing strength for heavy-duty use in dry conditions, but itโs not corrosion-resistant and should be kept away from wet or corrosive environments.
What bearing options does the HU wheel support?
The HU wheel supports roller bearings, delrin bearings, or sealed precision ball bearings, with stainless steel versions available for added durability.
What is the Shore D 65 durometer, and why is it important?
The Shore D 65 durometer measures the polyurethaneโs hardness, balancing durability and flexibility for low rolling resistance and wear resistance in industrial settings.
What temperature range can the HU wheel handle?
The HU wheel operates from -50ยฐ to 180ยฐ F, suitable for both cold and warm dry environments.
What maintenance does the Zinc Model 9 Rigid Caster with HU Wheel require?
Minimal maintenance is needed, with a greased fitting to keep the axle moving and sealed bearing options to reduce upkeep. Routine checks for wear are recommended.
How does the Zinc Model 9 Rigid Caster mount to equipment?
It features a 4โณ x 4-1/2โณ zinc-plated steel mounting plate with a bolt pattern of 2-5/8โ x 3-5/8โ to 3โ x 3โ and a ยฝโ axle, fitting most industrial setups.
What should I know about static loads on the HU wheel?
Static loads exceeding 60% of the wheelโs capacity for extended periods may cause flat spots, so avoid overloading when parked.
Is this caster suitable for wet or corrosive environments?
No, the zinc-plated frame will corrode in wet or corrosive conditions. For those settings, consider a stainless steel model.
What if my application involves rough, powered use?
The Zinc Model 9 Rigid Caster isnโt built for abrasive, powered applications. Look at a tougher model like the G15. Call 800-501-3808 for advice.
