Furniture casters are widely used in social and economic production and life. For furniture manufacturers, the furniture casters must be determined in detail when purchasing casters. In order to ensure the quality of furniture, the quality and stability of furniture casters must be guaranteed.
The practicality of furniture can be greatly improved.
First of all, the choice of furniture casters is related to weight. It is divided into light bearing casters, medium bearing casters and heavy bearing casters.
Light duty casters typically have a weight range of 70 to 150 kg. The load-bearing range of medium-sized casters is 150-300kg, and the load-bearing capacity of heavy-duty casters can reach 300-500kg. Furniture casters measure the weight of the furniture as a whole.
If it is the caster of an office chair, it is not only the weight of the furniture itself, but also the weight of the user. If the weight is not selected properly, it will affect the safety of future use.
Second, look at the size of the furniture casters.
The size of the wheel is the diameter. This unit is inches, and an inch is approximately 3.3 centimeters. Furniture casters are available in the market in sizes 1-12 inches.
Proper sizing of casters can improve the overall aesthetics of mobile furniture. If the size of the caster is too large or too small, it will also affect the future use of the furniture.
Again, the question of using furniture casters often depends on the actual use of the furniture.
Currently, polyurethane casters and nylon casters are the main materials, and polyurethane wheels also have different types of strength.
Polyurethane casters are the main material of furniture casters. It has a good mute effect and is suitable for various use environments.
It is widely used in hospitals, schools, logistics, transportation and other industries. Casters made of nylon and other materials have better handling properties, greater flexibility and lighter weight, excellent wear resistance and load-carrying capacity. The downside is that nylon is hard, brittle and quiet.
Don't look at this caster, in fact, the small parts usually determine the overall performance and life of the furniture, and more importantly, the safety issues that occur during use. Choosing the right caster is especially important if the wheel is not selected as specified. The procedure of use may not be appropriate for the specific conditions used.
Therefore, the service life of the casters is shortened, thereby reducing the safety of the furniture. Therefore, the choice of casters cannot be ignored.
