What is a Caster Wheel?

A caster is an undriven wheel that is designed to be attached to the bottom of a larger object (usually furniture, or industrial pieces of equipment) to enable that object to be moved.

They are small wheels that are fastened to the bottom of chair legs to facilitate movement across floors. Although this particular feature is typically best suited for small, lightweight chairs such as task or conference seating.

A caster is simply an assembly that includes a wheel and mount. Coasters come in different materials, wheel diameters, tread widths, load ratings, and overall heights to give your equipment mobility in many kinds of work environments.

The style of casters most commonly used on these sorts of chairs is known as free-wheeling casters. The wheels will continue to move even when weight is applied to them, allowing the chairs to be moved around short distances without the user having to stand up.

Free-wheeling casters most often have a swivel feature, which allows the chair to move easily in all directions with very little force applied.

But other than chairs, Casters are used in numerous applications, including shopping carts, office chairs, toy wagons, hospital beds, and material handling equipment. Even in high capacity, heavy-duty casters are used in many industrial applications, such as platform trucks, carts, assemblies, and tow lines in plants.

Because most furniture pieces are usually sturdy and firm. However, what most people have come to realize is that you can not fully maximize its potential if they are not easy to move around.

How does Caster work?

When it comes to furniture pieces frequently used, caster wheels help with mobility. While some of these pieces may come with provisions to install a wheel if need be, some do not. In cases like that, do not worry. It can be fixed. Office chairs and dining chairs are frequently built with casters attached.

You can add casters to any chair if the legs are built sturdy enough to support them. Choose a chair with wooden legs at least a quarter-inch thick in each direction. It is best if the chair has horizontal supports no more than eight inches above the floor as adding casters will put pressure on the legs to spread them.

Load capacity indicates the need for wider wheels with more ground contact area. However, when rotating a wide swivel caster in place, the center part of the wheel-to-ground contact patch rotates slower than the regions further out to the sides. This difference in rotation speed across the base of the wheel contact patch causes wide wheels to resist rotation around the swivel, and this resistance increases as weight loading increases.

Difference Between Casters and Wheels?

It is difficult to confuse the term “caster” with the term “wheel,” but the two are not the same devices. The wheel is limited in that it only spins on a single axis. It can only roll in one direction at a time. Casters incorporate wheels into their designs, but they are a bit more sophisticated. A caster includes the mounting system that holds the wheel in place. Some casters swivel and others are fixed.

Casters can be found just about everywhere in office and home furniture pieces. An object mounted on a set of casters will roll in a straight line or in different directions, depending on the way you drive it. Furniture, toolboxes, heavy machinery, and waste disposal bins outfitted with casters can be moved as needed.

When Choosing New Casters?

Pushing around chairs and furniture pieces on worn wheels is a struggle you don’t need. You can easily upgrade with new casters to improve the functionality of your furniture pieces.

This means any furniture that you will frequently move (usually seating or storage units and pedestals) is a prime candidate for a caster. However, when electing to use a caster for your furniture, it is crucial to consider the flooring on which it will be primarily used
