Description
Stem Caster Model G15 has the highest capacity ratings of all our model stem casters. This is the beginning of our industrial casters built with a precision machined swivel bearing for dependable performance. Advantages of the precision machined bearing include easier swiveling, reduced swivel vibration, and longer trouble free service. The caster frame is hot-forged construction with legs welded to the swivel bearing for maximum strength. Zinc plated for rust resistance, this caster comes with lubrication fittings for all moveable parts. Rated up to 1,500 lbs per caster only if infrequently moved in a manual application where there is no abuse. G15 stems are most often bought with a threaded stem. Caster City offers ¾” and 1″ diameter threaded stems. The weight on a threaded stem caster is supposed to be supported on the top of the turn bearing, not somewhere above it on the thread stem. This caster was not built to be used as a leveling device. You should fully thread this caster to your application. Plain round stems are also available with model G15 stem casters. Plain round stems are held inside tubing by drilling a hole through the tubing and the stem, then installing a bolt through the cross hole. Plain round stem diameters include ¾”, ⅞”, 1″, and 1-⅜”. G15 stem casters should be used only in manually moved applications. They are only made in a swivel caster design. There is no swivel lock and rigid caster option. However, a wheel brake can be provided but keep in mind that these casters are not designed to hold weight on an incline. The wheel is mounted on a 1/2″ diameter axle with a locking nut. All casters ship from Texas, Ohio, or Washington.
The UAO industrial caster wheel features a robust crown tread polyurethane tire chemically and mechanically bonded to a sturdy aluminum hub. This orange polyurethane on aluminum caster wheel offers higher aesthetic value than iron centered wheels and is lighter than standard polyurethane on iron wheels. The wide crown tread is engineered for seamless directional changes. The Durometer is 90A, offering a semi-cushioned ride that is flexible enough to climb over small debris, door jambs, and expansion joints. Given the same size load on a smooth floor, a polyurethane caster wheel rolls easier than the same size conventional rubber caster wheel. This caster wheel offers superior load capacity compared to hard composition or metal wheels with enhanced floor protection. This caster wheel comes with high-efficiency, maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings. Polyurethane caster wheels can have their chemical bonds weakened by overloading, chemical exposure, heat from continuous usage, or heavy impacts. Ideal for distribution centers, logistics carts, and light industrial applications.
Wheel materials (treads) vary to match specific applications, including:
- Rubber (e.g., gray soft rubber with crown tread): Quiet, floor-protecting, and non-marking for smooth indoor surfaces.
- Polyurethane (e.g., all polyurethane, crown orange polyurethane on iron core, red crown polyurethane on cast iron core): Durable, non-marking, and resistant to chemicals/oils, ideal for institutional or factory floors.
- Polyolefin: Lightweight, affordable, and impact-resistant for general use.
- Nylon: High-strength and abrasion-resistant for rougher surfaces.
- Phenolic: Hard and heat-resistant for heavy loads in dry environments.
- Steel: Caster City offers Ductile Steel and Forged Steel wheels as options for this heavy duty industrial caster.
Bearing choices for the wheels further enhance performance and longevity, with options including:
- B (Ball Bearings): Smooth rolling for moderate loads. Lowest initial force needed to get moving.
- BRNZ (Bronze): High Temperature Bearing for High Heat Applications. Low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant.
- D (Delrin): Self-lubricating plastic for quiet, lightweight operation where frequent wash-downs occur.
- PS (Precision Sealed Ball Bearings): Maintenance-free, high-precision for smoother, longer-lasting performance (standard on many polyurethane wheels).
- P (Plain Bore): Simple and economical for basic applications.
- R (Roller Bearings): Cost Effective and a great choice for many industrial applications.
The swivel construction features precision-machined combination load and thrust bearings with heat-treated raceways for reduced vibration, easier swiveling, and extended durability— Kingpinless Caster Design has no center pin and avoids weakpoints and failures occurring.
Optional add-ons enhance functionality:
- TB (Top Lock Brake): A pedal on the side of the wheel locks only the wheel’s rotation.
- TL (Total Lock Brake): Simultaneously locks both the wheel and the swivel mechanism for maximum stability.
- UFCB (Bolt-On Universal Face Contact Brake): A versatile, bolt-on brake that engages the wheel’s face to prevent movement.
- FCB (Heavy Duty Weld-On Face Contact Brake): A robust, permanently welded brake for heavy-duty applications requiring secure wheel locking.
These features, combined with the flexible wheel and bearing selections, make the G15 a versatile choice for industrial settings where durability, high load capacity, and customization are critical, provided the application aligns with its hand-powered design.
