Caster Bearings Description
 |
Delrin® Caster Wheel BearingA DuPont engineered plastic, is extremely durable under a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions and is corrosion resistant. Wheels with Delrin bearings are well suited for applications where brine conditions, steam cleaning, or where excessive water or liquids are present. Light oil or grease lubrication is always recommended. |
 |
Plain & Sleeve Caster Wheel BearingsMetal Sleeve is inserted in wheel and the wheel bore rests directly on the axle. Only recommended when rolling ease is not critical and in situations where the wheel is stationary 95% of the operational time. This bearing requires the most "push force" to operate. |
 |
Annular Ball Caster Wheel BearingPrecision type bearings with machined, hardened raceways. For applications where maximum rolling ease and quiet operation are needed. Best suited for light to medium duty loads. Bearing is pre-assembled, and the entire unit is mounted in the wheel. |
 |
Bronze Caster Wheel BearingThe bronze bearing is durable under a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions and is corrosion resistant. It is highly recommended for high heat or wet applications. |
 |
Precision Tapered Roller Caster Wheel BearingsThe tapered roller bearing is the most effective bearing for heavy loads. It is capable of absorbing excessive friction when a load tips and can be used where high speed operation is essential. The axle need not be hardened since the bearing has a hardened race. |
 |
Precision Sealed Ball Caster Wheel BearingRecommended for maximum rolling ease with no maintenance lubrication required. Quiet operation for medium to heavy duty loads. Available on Endura Solid Elastomer and 2” tread width Performa Rubber wheels. |
 |
Roller Caster Wheel BearingCapable of carrying a greater load than the same size diameter ball bearing. It has a split outer race shell into which the roller assembly is inserted. Spanner bushing is the same hardness as the bearing rollers. Combination seal/thrust retainer washers protect bearing from dirt, water, chemicals, and help absorb thrust friction. |
 |
Torrington-Style Roller Caster Wheel BearingTorrington-style caged drawn cup bearings have a steel cage which provides inward retention of the needle rollers. This design provides maximum cage strength consistent with long service life. Available on 2” tread width wheels only.** Must be used with hardened spanner bushing or hardened shaft |
