Product Information

Full details

This Blickle 50mm stainless steel swivel castor with brake is designed for applications requiring mobility and secure positioning, particularly in environments where corrosion resistance is important. Its key benefit is the combination of smooth rolling, quiet operation, and floor protection, coupled with a reliable brake that locks both swivel and wheel. A potential consideration is its specific load capacity, so ensure it meets your project's weight requirements.

FAQs

What is the load capacity of this castor?

Each castor has a load capacity of 40kg.

Can this castor be used outdoors?

The stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or de-icing salts may affect its longevity. Regular cleaning is recommended.

How do I engage the brake?

The brake lever is designed to lock both the wheel rotation and the swivel action simultaneously. Push the lever down firmly to engage the brake.

What type of bearing does this castor use?

This castor features a plain bearing.

Will this castor leave marks on my floor?

No, the grey solid thermoplastic rubber wheel is designed to be non-marking and provides very good floor preservation.

What are the overall dimensions of the castor?

The overall height is 71mm, the wheel diameter is 50mm, and the wheel tread width is 20mm.

What is the hardness of the wheel tread?

The hardness of the wheel tread is 85° Shore A.

Troubleshooting

Castor is difficult to roll

Check for obstructions around the wheel. Ensure the mounting is secure and not deforming the castor housing. Verify the load does not exceed the 40kg limit.

Brake does not lock effectively

Ensure the brake lever is fully engaged. Check for debris around the braking mechanism. Verify the wheel and swivel are not obstructed.

Castor is noisy during movement

Confirm the load is within the specified limit. Check for any foreign particles trapped in the bearing or wheel. Ensure the mounting is secure.

Visible corrosion on the stainless steel

Rinse the castor with clean water, especially after exposure to salt or aggressive chemicals. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. If pitting is severe, consider replacement for critical applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable stainless steel construction for longevity and corrosion resistance.
  • Integrated brake effectively secures the castor in place.
  • Quiet and smooth rolling performance.
  • Protects floor surfaces from scratches and marks.
  • Suitable for environments with exposure to chemicals.

Cons

  • Limited to a 40kg load capacity per castor.
  • Plain bearing may require occasional checks for optimal performance compared to sealed bearings.
  • Swivel functionality might be restricted when the brake is fully engaged.
  • Specific chemical resistance data should be verified for highly aggressive substances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the castor securely to your equipment using the top plate. Ensure the mounting holes align with your equipment's pre-drilled holes.
  2. Use appropriate fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers - not included) that fit the 6mm mounting holes.
  3. Verify that the top plate is flush and firmly secured before applying load.

Compatibility:

  • The castor is designed with a standard top plate for versatile mounting on various surfaces and equipment frames.
  • Ensure the total load capacity of multiple castors does not exceed the combined weight limit (4 castors x 40kg = 160kg maximum distributed load, considering safety factors).
  • Ideal for use on most standard floor types, especially where floor preservation is a concern.

Care:

  • Periodically check that the wheel rotates freely and the brake engages effectively.
  • Clean the castor with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the stainless steel or rubber.
  • For optimal performance in corrosive environments, rinse with fresh water after exposure to aggressive chemicals.
  • Ensure the mounting hardware remains tight.
