This injection molded soft gray rubber tire has had the carbon black removed from the rubber which makes it a non-marking caster wheel, suitable for applications such as a hospital. This institutional caster wheel was designed to use a ⅜” axle and the tread width of the tire is 1-¼”.This soft gray rubber caster wheel comes with a durometer of 90-95A, making it excellent for indoor usage on smooth surfaces to reduice noise and vibration. This caster wheel has a sealed precision ball bearing protected with plastic spanner bushings that reduce the inner diameter of the axle, act as thread guards, and guard the bearing from indirect and direct moisture exposure.
