Heavy duty caster brake is a kind of caster parts, it is mainly used when the caster to be at a standstill, the need for fixed positioning of the casters need to use to the caster brake. Generally speaking, casters can be with or without brakes, in both cases casters can be used normally, note that according to the customer’s specific use and requirements to be equipped with different brakes.
Heavy-duty casters in different situations is not the same brake, such as the full brake is often referred to as the double brake with the side of the brake is different. In the case of double brake casters whether the wheel rotation or bead plate rotation will lock, in the case of double brake can not move objects and adjust the direction of rotation. The side brake only locks the rotation of the wheel but not the direction of rotation of the bead plate, so the caster can be adjusted in this case.
The braking method of heavy duty casters is mainly divided into double brakes and side brakes, the main differences between the two are as follows:
Different braking methods: heavy duty casters double brake uses two brake pads to brake at the same time, which can control the movement of objects more effectively; while the side brake only uses one brake pad to brake, which is not as effective as heavy duty casters double brake.
Stability is different: heavy duty casters double brake than the side of the brake is more stable, because it uses two brake pads at the same time for braking, can better offset the impact of the weight of the object on the casters, so as to ensure the stability of the casters in the case of high loads.
Double brake and side brake can be divided into a variety of common nylon double brake and metal brake, etc., but they have one thing is the same, that is, the fixed wheel will not rotate to prevent the effect of continued sliding. So the choice of caster brakes also according to your specific use of the situation, different environments on the design of caster brakes are not the same, of course, the effect will be different; we have to understand the case and then make a judgment and choice, to be able to be more accurate.
