How to overhaul the brake casters?
- 2020-09-23-

The casters produced by Qingdao Fushengde Plastic Co., Ltd. include universal wheels without brakes, directional wheels, and various universal wheels with braking devices. Brake casters, that is, casters with brakes, are pressed by the brake device to stop the wheels from moving. The braking direction is used on the universal wheel, which turns the universal wheel into a steering wheel to keep it in a fixed direction. This type of caster has a very wide range of products in the industry or in daily life, so we must pay attention to the maintenance methods at ordinary times. How to perform maintenance?

First check whether there is obvious wear on the surface of the caster. The "grinding points" on the surface of the caster can show the accumulation of foreign matter, such as wires and other debris that may be entangled around the wheel. Remove the bolts and nuts from the wheel and clean the debris. Check the wheel bearings for damage. If the parts are not damaged, they can be reassembled and used again. If the wheel is often entangled with debris, it is recommended to install an anti-wind cover to avoid it.

Loose brake casters or stuck wheels can also cause "wear points." Appropriate maintenance and inspection, especially the tightness of bolts, the amount of lubricating oil and the replacement of damaged casters, can improve the rolling performance and rotation flexibility of the equipment.

Severe damage or looseness of polyurethane casters may cause unstable rolling, air leakage, abnormal load, and floor damage. Timely replacement of damaged casters and bearings can reduce the cost loss caused by stopping the damaged casters.

Check whether the brake casters are repaired and whether the bolts and nuts are tightened. If possible, use locknuts or locknuts on all bolts. If the bolt is loose, tighten it immediately. If the wheels on the bracket are loose, the wheels will be damaged or unable to rotate.
