Shock Absorbing Casters
Move your sensitive goods safely!
Spring-loaded casters improve the service life of castors by reducing the amount of shock and impact load. They also protect sensitive and valuable goods by absorbing shock and impacts. Spring-loaded casters ensure that loads are distributed more evenly and reduce noise levels during transportation.
Shock absorbing casters by Orbit Casters incorporate steel spring. With casters ranging from pressed to forged and fabricated, Orbit Casters brackets incorporate steel to provide excellent damper characteristics.
Steel springs are normally only used for suspension and have a long service life. The properties of steel springs remain constant over time. Spring tension, initial tension and the maximum spring travel are taken to consideration when designing shock absorbing casters. The initial tension is the amount of force which is used to pre-tension the spring. The spring will only move or compress if this force is exceeded.
The spring tension is the amount of force which is required to reach the end stop. The maximum spring travel is the change in the mounting height between an unloaded state and maximum compression. The optimal static load is roughly half the spring tension. The damping performance of the caster is optimised for this range. If the force is too large or too small, the response of the suspension will be impeded.
Shock absorbing light duty pressed casters with kingpin
Polyurethane balloon type tread moulded over polypropylene insert and housed in pressed steel caster, this type of caster wheels are ideal for light duty sensitive applications . The casters made of pressed steel brackets, constituting of a double bearing raceway assembly fastened via a kingpin. The casters incorporate functioning steel spring, that can dampen vibrations and undulations on floor surface. These casters are suitable for applications that are sensitive to shakes and vibrations. The wheels are suitable for epoxy flooring.
Shock absorbing medium duty pressed casters with kingpin
Polyurethane balloon type tread over cast iron insert and housed in pressed and fabricated steel caster, this type of caster wheels are ideal for medium duty applications. The casters made of pressed steel brackets, constituting of a double bearing raceway assembly fastened via a kingpin. The casters incorporate functioning steel spring, that can dampen vibrations and undulations on floor surface. These casters are suitable for applications that are sensitive to shakes and vibrations. The wheels are suitable for epoxy flooring.
Kingpinless shock absorbing casters
Polyurethane balloon type tread over cast iron insert and housed in forged and fabricated steel caster, this type of caster wheels are ideal for medium duty applications that involves transportation trolleys and material handling structures. The casters made of forged steel brackets, constituting of a single bearing raceway assembly and are free of kingpin. These type of caster assembly increases the life and durability of casters, and can be used in applications involving mechanical towing. The casters incorporate functioning steel spring, that can dampen vibrations and undulations on floor surface. These casters are suitable for applications that are sensitive to shakes and vibrations. The wheels are suitable for epoxy flooring.
Kingpinless shock absorbing casters (Red wheel)
