3″ Soft Gray Rubber Wheel – Stainless Steel Stem Caster Total Lock Brake 3A

Description

3″ Gray Soft Rubber Wheel. Brake Locks both the Swivel and Wheel Shown in photo with 5″ wheels. This 3A stem caster is our stainless steel total locking institutional caster which uses the same Model 3 1-¼” wide wheels. A total lock brake locks the swivel and the wheel. It latches them simultaneously by one foot on the brake pedal. The plate caster swivel model 3A has a metal total lock pedal.  It is simple to turn on but not as simple to let go as the nylon brake pedal featured on K3. The metal lock can only be reached if the release deise with the type of your shoe which may not allow enough burden to be utilized to unlock the brake.  This is not an issue with the nylon brake pedal on model k3. The metal total lock brake pedal is an alternative on 3a swivels. The metal pedal is shown slightly under the mounting plate of the swivel caster and slightly over the wheel.  The metal pedal extends behind the wheel so the toe of your foot can simply reach the activation pedal. The metal pedal digs into polyurethane and rubber tires more than the nylon pedal. The amount of the metal pedal total lock brake is more than the cost of a total lock brake with a nylon pedal. Neither type of total lock brake are possible on a caster rigid.

This gray rubber caster wheel is made from injection-molded soft gray rubber, making it a non-marking wheel. This institutional caster wheel was designed to use a ⅜” axle and the tread width of the tire is 1-¼”.The durometer of this soft gray rubber caster wheel is 90-95A, making it ideal for vibration and noise reduction. The sealed ball bearing in this gray soft rubber caster wheel is bushed down to ⅜” with two plastic spanner bushings that also act as thread guards, guarding the bearing from direct and indirect moisture contact. Injection molded caster wheels are not designed to carry large amounts of weight in static load applications, please consult with us for a better choice.
