Description

Model 50 Swivel Casters utilize the same Phenolic Roller Wheel wheels shown in plate caster model 30. Yet, the model 50 plate caster has a bigger mounting plate and thicker legs.

This allows for heavier loads and more arduous service. The precision machined swivel provides noteworthy performance on both manually and mechanically powered equipment.

There are lubricant fittings for all flexible parts, and the metal frames are zinc plated for rust determent.

Phenolic Caster Wheels from Caster City

Our Phenolic Caster Wheels, made from macerated canvas mixed with phenolic resin and molded under high pressure and temperature are a cost-effective, hard-composition, non-marking solution ideal for supporting heavy stationary loads that move infrequently. With a hardness comparable to polished maple flooring and a Durometer of Shore D 90, these wheels are designed to handle large loads comparable to metal wheels without developing flat spots, even when parked for prolonged periods under load. Available in diameters from 3” to 18” and widths from 1-¼” to 4”, they come standard with roller bearings or optional precision sealed ball bearings, making them perfect for smooth concrete surfaces in industrial settings like warehouses or manufacturing facilities.

These phenolic caster wheels are highly resistant to oil, grease, gasoline, and mild acids, and can withstand shock loads and impacts from small obstructions. They are recommended for storage loads without permanent set and offer slight floor wear, except on already deteriorating surfaces. For enhanced performance, a laminated unmacerated tread option provides 25% more capacity and greater chip resistance, though the wheel material may chip or cut from contact with steel plates or rough surfaces. With a temperature range of -40°F to +250°F, and intermittent use up to 300°F, these wheels are built for durability in dry environments where they excel in supporting heavy static loads.

While Phenolic Caster Wheels are tough and versatile, they are not suitable for wet applications or environments with excessive exposure to water, oil, or chemicals, as they can slowly absorb these substances and fail over time. For applications involving routine moisture or strong acids and alkaline solutions, consider alternative wheel materials. Ideal for dry, high-capacity settings requiring impact resistance and floor protection, these wheels are a reliable, economical choice. Contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 for assistance with custom configurations or to place an order for our durable Phenolic Caster Wheels.
