Technical Specifications
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.
The “PYC” polyurethane caster wheel has a heavy-duty iron center and its liquid caster tire is chemically bonded to the hub. This “PYC” Caster wheel carries more weight than your standard polyurethane caster wheel due to having a thicker tire and thicker center. This “PYC” caster wheel has a slight crown on the polyurethane tire which helps with changing directions when the load is standing still or moving. Polyurethane caster wheels can have their chemical bonds weakened by overloading, chemical exposure, heat from continuous usage, or heavy impacts. Polyurethane wheels are chosen when higher loads are needed to roll on floors due to offering more floor protection than what a hard composition caster wheel can.The temperature range of this caster wheel is -20° to 180° F and the durometer of the polyurethane tire is 95 Shore A, and is available in either 2” or 3” wide.
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.
