FAQ

FAQ – RF Soft Gray Rubber Wheel in Model 9 Caster

What environments is the RF Soft Gray Rubber Wheel best suited for?
The RF Soft Gray Rubber Wheel is ideal for Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Hospitals, Food Service, and other Institutional applications where quiet operation, floor protection, and chemical resistance are priorities.

How does the RF wheel compare to polyurethane wheels?
The RF wheel offers a softer ride than polyurethane, absorbing shock and reducing vibration, which enhances equipment life and protects cargo and floors.

What are the main benefits of the RF wheel in the Model 9 caster?
Pairing the RF wheel with the Model 9 caster provides a non-marking, quiet, and shock-absorbing solution with precision sealed ball bearings that require no maintenance, perfect for sensitive environments.

Are there any limitations to the RF wheel?
Yes, it’s not suited for shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, or prolonged standing loads, as it may develop flat spots. It’s also harder to roll under load—reduce capacity by 50% for manual movement.

Why is the Model 9 caster so popular for industrial use?
The Model 9 caster is favored for its low cost, wide wheel options, and rugged design, featuring 2 rows of balls on heat-treated raceways and a welded nut and bolt kingpin for durability.

Can I use the Model 9 caster with the RF wheel in wet or corrosive conditions?
The standard zinc-plated Model 9 will rust in wet or corrosive environments. Opt for the Stainless Steel Model 9, made from 304 stainless steel, for those conditions.

What maintenance do the RF wheel and Model 9 caster require?
The RF wheel’s precision sealed ball bearings need no maintenance. The Model 9 swivel caster has lubrication fittings for its moving parts, keeping maintenance simple.

What bearings come with the RF wheel?
The RF wheel features precision sealed ball bearings, offering maintenance-free, quiet, and smooth performance.

How do I choose the right RF wheel diameter for manual movement?
For easier manual movement, reduce the load capacity by 50% and select the largest practical wheel diameter to improve rolling efficiency.
