Can these be used in non-ESD environments?

Troubleshooting
Castor will not snap into the base
Check if the old castor stem is still lodged in the socket or if the socket diameter is incompatible with the standard circlip size.
Wheel feels stiff or does not roll
Clear any accumulated carpet fibers or debris from the wheel housing using tweezers or compressed air.
Castor wobbles
Ensure the circlip post is fully inserted and that the furniture base socket is not damaged or widened from previous use.
Pros and Cons

- Twin-wheel design offers superior weight distribution
- Toughened nylon construction ensures long-term durability

- Smooth movement across hard floors and low-pile carpets
Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty industrial machinery

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply pull out your existing castors from the base of your chair or equipment. Ensure the socket is free of debris, then firmly push the AC000056 stem into the hole until you hear a click from the circlip engaging. These castors are compatible with most standard office chair bases that utilize a 11mm or 7/16-inch diameter circlip mounting. To maintain optimal performance, periodically remove dust and hair from the axle areas using a soft brush or compressed air to ensure the wheels continue to spin freely.
