6″ Ductile Steel V Groove Wheel – Model 9 Swivel Caster

Description

DO NOT ORDER SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS IF YOU ORDER THE TL – TOTAL LOCK BRAKE. THE TL BRAKE WILL NOT WORK WITH EITHER THE SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS.

V-Groove swivel casters require a Swivel Lock in order to go backwards when on Angle Iron Track.

Plate Caster Model 9 swivel casters are our most popular industrial caster because of its low initial cost and wide selection of wheels.  Under the mounting plate it has 2 rows of balls rotating on heat treated raceways.  The swivel has a nut and bolt center pin welded to withstand normal abuse in a manually moved application.  The kingpin bolt diameter is 5/8” and the leg thickness is 1/4”, welded on the inside and out.  The diameter of the axle is ½” and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”.  This caster is constructed from stamped steel.  The metal frames are zinc plated for rust resistance, and it has lubrication fittings for all moveable parts.  Model 9 has a broad selection of wheel brakes and swivel locks for most applications.  Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.

Where loads are too heavy for floor protective wheels, or where unusually severe service factors are present, Ductile steel caster wheels will do the job. Usually in these applications the user will not consider floor wear as too great a penalty considering the work that is being done. Also available in V-groove caster wheel design, which is used to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track.  Elevated track minimizes problems caused by floor debris. The relief groove at the base of the “V” equalizes the load on each face of the angle.

When not operating on track, the considerable wheel tread on each side of the V-groove allows for use on smooth floors. It is important that if more than one track is used they are parallel, straight and level. Otherwise V-groove wheels may bind or run up over the track.

V-Groove Solid Stainless Steel wheels are also available.

V-Groove Ductile steel caster wheels have high ductility and tensile strength, and thus can absorb shock or impact to a point. These solid wheels are incredibly durable in normal service. Their load ratings are limited by bearing capacity only.  These steel wheels are capable of temperatures up to 700° F depending upon the application. At temperatures above 400° F continuous, steel roller bearings and spanner bushings can start to anneal. In applications where temperatures are above 400° F please consult our engineering department for further assistance.

This caster is available in Stainless Steel Model 9.  It is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel.  This is an excellent caster for wet or corrosive applications if your total weight exceeds 1000lbs.  It comes with the same large selection of wheels, some of which are also NSF and ROHS compliant.
