Description
5″ x 2″ Gray Rubber Wheel Size shown in photo is 6 x 2 with Roller Bearing. This swivel caster has a soft gray rubber wheel that is non-marking in nature and is bonded to a plastic center. This caster wheel is 2” wide and is designed to use a 1/2” axle.The durometer of this soft gray rubber caster wheel is 90-95A, making it ideal for vibration and noise reduction. 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 indriect and direct moisture exposure. These caster wheels should not be left standing under load for extended periods as the tires may take a permanent “set” or develop flat spots.
