What bearing options does the NX Ultra High Capacity Black Polymer Wheel offer?

The NX Wheel provides precision sealed ball bearings for smooth, maintenance-free rolling, enhancing heavy duty industrial casters in labs, hospitals, or retail settings. Rigid casters ensure stable tracking for plate casters like Model 9 in these applications.

Can the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with NX Wheel handle rough floors or debris?

No, the NX Wheel requires smooth, hard floors and struggles with debris or rough surfaces, making it ideal for heavy duty industrial casters in labs or food processing plants. Rigid casters enhance plate casters like Model 9, maintaining control on smooth floors.

How does the NX Ultra High Capacity Black Polymer Wheel manage static loads?

The NX Wheel’s robust polymer composition with Shore D 80 durometer prevents flat spotting and delamination, even under prolonged static loads, perfect for stationary casters in hospitals or food processing plants holding heavy equipment. Rigid casters support plate casters like Model 9, ensuring stability for static loads.

What temperature range does the NX Ultra High Capacity Black Polymer Wheel support?

The NX Wheel operates from -20°F to 250°F (melting point around 500°F), suitable for diverse environments but not extreme conditions beyond this range, ideal for casters and wheels in labs or food service. Rigid casters ensure stable movement for plate casters like Model 9 in these conditions.

How does the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with NX Wheel compare to metal wheel casters?

The NX Wheel matches metal wheel capacity (up to 1200 lbs) without causing floor wear, offering non-marking, corrosion-resistant performance ideal for sanitary settings like labs, unlike metal’s wear and corrosion risks. Rigid casters enhance plate casters like Model 9, ensuring stability for heavy loads.

Can the NX Ultra High Capacity Black Polymer Wheel remain under load for extended periods?

The NX Wheel supports prolonged static loads without flat spotting or delamination, perfect for casters in food processing or labs holding stationary equipment, maintaining durability in typical conditions. Rigid casters provide stability for plate casters like Model 9, preventing drift during stationary use.

What maintenance does the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with NX Wheel require?

The NX Wheel’s precision sealed ball bearings need no maintenance, and regular cleaning prevents debris buildup for heavy duty industrial casters in food service or labs. Rigid casters ensure stable operation for plate casters like Model 9, minimizing maintenance needs.

What brake options are available for this heavy duty industrial caster?

This plate caster offers the TB Top Lock Brake (metal, side-mounted, high-temp), UFCB Universal Bolt On Face Contact Brake (bolt-on, wheel-locking), TL Total Lock Brake (locks wheel and swivel, incompatible with swivel locks/raceway seals), and Swivel Locks (weld-on or bolt-on), ensuring safety for industrial casters in labs or retail. Rigid casters enhance plate casters like Model 9, providing stability when brakes are engaged.
