Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the diameter of the wheel?
The wheel diameter is 100mm.
Is this castor rust-proof?
It is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, which provides high resistance to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for damp environments.
Can I use this on carpet?
While it functions on carpet, elastic rubber is designed primarily for hard, flat surfaces to minimize rolling resistance.
What does 70 degree Shore A mean?
This refers to the hardness of the rubber tread; 70 Shore A provides a good balance between durability and floor cushioning.
Is the directional lock included?
No, the 1-way directional lock (part no. 573709) must be purchased separately.
Can I use this in an oil-heavy environment?
No, this castor is not recommended for use in areas with significant oil exposure as it may damage the rubber material.
Troubleshooting
Swivel movement feels stiff
Clean any accumulated debris from the dust protection ring and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the swivel head.
Castor makes squeaking noises
Inspect the axle bolt to ensure it is tightened correctly and check if debris has become trapped between the wheel and the bracket housing.
Wheel does not roll smoothly
Check the wheel tread for embedded foreign objects like metal shavings or stones and remove them to restore low rolling resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves securing the top plate to your base using appropriate bolts or screws based on the chassis material. When mounting, ensure the surface is level to allow the swivel head to operate correctly. For enhanced control in high-traffic aisles, you may attach the compatible 1-way directional lock (part no. 573709) to the housing. Maintenance is straightforward: periodically wipe the dust ring to ensure no grit is trapped in the ball race. If you notice a decrease in swivel smoothness, a light application of high-quality multipurpose grease to the race can restore optimal performance. Avoid using harsh degreasers on the blue rubber tread to maintain its elasticity.
