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
