How to choose casters in different usage environments?

How to Select Appropriate Caster Materials Based on Different Ground Materials to Reduce Rolling Resistance? Selecting the appropriate caster materials based on different ground environments can significantly reduce rolling resistance, improve the moving efficiency and the service life of the equipment. The following are some suggestions from the CARSUN caster manufacturer:

  1. Smooth and flat ground: For smooth grounds such as indoor floors and concrete floors, it is recommended to use casters made of hard materials, such as polyurethane (PU) or thermoplastic rubber (TPR). These materials have a low friction coefficient and can reduce the resistance when pushing or pulling the equipment.

2.Uneven ground: On uneven grounds such as poorly paved ground, soil ground or construction sites, caster materials with good wear resistance and high load-bearing capacity should be selected, such as nylon casters. Nylon casters can withstand large impacts and friction on uneven ground and prolong the service life.

 

3.Indoor environment: Casters used indoors usually need to have good silent performance to reduce the impact on the working environment. Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) or polyurethane (PU) casters can effectively reduce ground vibration and noise.

4.High-temperature or chemical environment: In high-temperature or chemical environments, caster materials with strong high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance should be selected, such as high-temperature phenolic resin materials or stainless steel materials. These materials can prevent the erosion of chemical substances on the casters and prolong the service life.

 

5.Outdoor environment: Casters used outdoors need to have certain impact resistance, wear resistance and waterproof performance to adapt to the complex and changeable environmental conditions. Casters with anti-slip tread performance from CARSUN should be selected to ensure the stability of the equipment under adverse weather conditions.
