In the caster industry, the diameter of a one-inch caster is 2.5 centimeters, or 25 millimeters. For example, if you have a 4-inch universal wheel, the diameter is 100mm, and the wheel width is around 32mm.
Caster is a general term that includes movable casters and fixed casters. Movable casters, also known as universal casters, are characterized by four wheels on the ground and can rotate 360 degrees. However, when rotating a universal wheel, it is important to avoid tilting it too much or turning it vertically, as this may cause damage to the wheel or reduce its service life.
In addition, the universal wheel has a wide range of applications, such as carts, luggage trolleys, modern handling equipment, small aircraft landing gear and so on. At the same time, the manufacturing process of the universal wheel is also improving, such as the use of high-performance polyurethane materials manufactured universal wheel, with oil resistance, low temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, impact resistance and other advantages, so as to make its use in a variety of occasions more secure and reliable.
