Why Choose Metric Threaded Stem Casters?

Threaded stem casters are known for their strong, adjustable hold and easy installation.

By introducing a metric option, we’re making it even easier for customers who work with machinery or furniture that requires metric fittings. Whether you’re outfitting industrial equipment, office furniture, or custom builds, the Metric Threaded Stem provides a secure, reliable connection.

Key Benefits of Metric Threaded Stem Casters

  • International Compatibility: Designed to meet global standards, perfect for equipment that uses metric threading.

  • Modular Stem Choices: Choose from Threaded Stems, Expanding Rubber Stems, Grip Ring Stems, and Square/Round Metal Stems.
  • T-Nut Compatibility: Easily mount threaded stem casters to wooden equipment using T-Nuts for secure installation.
  • Top Lock Brake Options: Choose between TB (Top Lock Brake) and PTB (Plastic Pedal Top Lock Brake) for enhanced stability.

Best Practices for Mounting Threaded Stem Casters

When installing threaded stem casters, it’s crucial to ensure proper mounting for optimal performance. 

For wooden furniture or carts, using T-Nuts offers a secure hold, especially in horizontal applications. When mounting into end grain (vertical applications), using two-part epoxy with T-Nuts can provide added strength. However, be cautious—threaded stem casters should not be used as leveling devices, as weight must be directly supported on the swivel bearing.

Choosing the Right Wheel for Your Needs

  • Polyolefin Wheels: Ideal for “standing loads” where equipment remains stationary for extended periods. These wheels prevent flat spots from forming.
  • Rubber and Polyurethane: Excellent for smooth, quiet rolling and general use.
  • Nylon and Phenolic: Perfect for heavy-duty applications needing higher weight capacity and durability.

Typical Applications

  • Material Handling Carts
  • Food Service Carts
  • Medical and Laboratory Equipment
  • Office and Computer Equipment
  • Mobile Workstations
  • Stocking Carts
  • Bakery Equipment
  • Moving Dollies
