Textile Casters

You should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. Capacity ratings do not take into account the effort required to manually move a load. Capacity ratings are based on manual operation under ideal conditions. If these wheels are going to be moved by mechanically powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity rating based on your application.

Textile Casters Features:

img Swivel Construction – cold forged top plate and yoke base from 1/4″ steel. Swivel has double ball bearing with hardened raceways.
img Center Pin – 5/8″ diameter rivet.
img Legs – 1/4″ thick, welded outside only.
img Axle – 1/2” diameter bolt with lock nut.
img Wheel Bearing – RB = Roller Bearing, PSBB = Precision Sealed Ball Bearings
img Grease Fittings – for swivel.
img Spacers – Oversized spacers provide protection from string build-up and allow easy removal of string without removing the wheel.
img Thread Guards – The thread guards prevent string from binding the wheel bearing.
img Finish – external metal parts are zinc plated
img Deduct 1 lb. for weight of rigid caster.

These rugged cold forged textile casters are popular on production equipment in textile plants. They are recommended only for manually moved usage. Oversized spacers provide protection from string build-up and allow easy removal of string without removing the wheel. The thread guards prevent string from binding the wheel bearing.

You should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. There is no industry standard for load capacity ratings and they may not include a factor for abuse. Our capacity ratings are below what the casters are capable of carrying because most applications have less than perfect conditions. Please refer to the information shown at the bottom of this page. If you have any doubt as to which wheel or caster is the BEST choice for your application contact us for a recommendation.
