Products Overview
Wheels and castors are mechanical devices, generally applied to equipment
and carriages, which must comply with handling requirements involved
in production processes. Usually handled manually, they are used at
a speed of less than 4 km/h, with non-continuous duty.
For top performance, correct fitting and use of the wheel
and castor are particularly important, following such rules as:
-
The wheel and castor must be fitted
to the equipment using appropriate, correctly tightened bolts and
nuts.
-
When connecting the swivel castor stem, be particularly
careful to check the surface flatness of the assembly, and avoid
welding.
-
The structure and the carriage, as well as the
point of fitting wheels and castors, must have a suitable dimensions
for carrying the required load.
-
Swivel castors should be mounted so that their axles
are perpendicular to the ground.
-
Fixed castors must be mounted so that the wheel
axle (rear or front) are aligned.
-
For use in environments which are humid or saline,
or with exposure to outdoor weather conditions or caustic chemicals,
specific products should be requested.
-
The selection of the wheels and castors to be used
at temperature of less than +10oC or greater than +30oC should be
carefully examined.
-
Immediately replace wheels that show early wear
or deformation under a load.
In order to correctly select the most suitable product, all the elements
which can influence that choice should be examined beforehand, including:
load, temperature, speed, working environment, etc.
The user should be especially careful not to use the product
in the following ways:
-
With a load greater than the capacity indicated.
-
On non-suitable floor surfaces.
-
At temperatures which are to high or too low.
-
In the presence of caustic chemicals.
-
With exposure to violent impacts or stress.
-
At a speed of greater than 6km/h.
-
With any modification not previously approved by
the manufacturer.
-
By combining product components not product by
the same manufacture.

Description:
The type of flooring and floor conditions influence rolling, performance
and life of the wheels and castors. The reaction provoked by contact
between the floor and the rolling tread, transmitted to the carriage
and thus to the load depends on the following. Type of floor surface
the presence of obstacles, Holes or tracks. Type of rolling tread
and the diameter of the wheel. Which all need to be taken into account
when making the correct wheel selection for the application?
