Swivel caster with brake has played a huge role in our production and life, so how to use and maintain a swivel caster with a brake? Let's take a look together next.

Here is the content list

l Safe storage

l Tire maintenance

l Ensure standard air pressure

Safe storage

All swivel casters with brakes should be stored in a cool, dry, and darkroom. Avoid placing them near sunlight, oil, acids, and hydrocarbons, which will erode the tires. Due to the pressurization, liquid may enter the carcass layer through the inner liner of the swivel caster with the brake tire, which may cause sudden damage to the tire.

Tire maintenance

The double-wheel caster tires' timely replacement, selection of suitable patterns, daily maintenance, regular inspection of tire pressure, timely repair after breakage, and frequent digging and cleaning of stones and foreign objects in the tire pattern are all important factors to prolong the life of the tire. After a period of use, swivel casters with brake tires are affected by factors such as road camber, brakes, and tire assembly positions, which will cause large differences in tread wear. Therefore, timely transposition must be done. Assemble, so that each double-wheel caster tire can take turns at each position, and the load on each tire is roughly the same, to solve the problem of tire eccentric wear and prolong service life. There are two commonly used methods of tire rotation: "cross rotation" and "circular rotation". When the new and old double-wheel caster tires are mixed, when the new tire is better, the new tire or better tire is fixed to the front wheel, and the old or retreaded tire is fixed to the rear wheel. When changing the original rolling direction after transposition, the tire should be adjusted in the reverse direction (that is, the loading position and rolling direction are changed). This is a measure to reduce or eliminate the partial wear and chamfer of the tire and the excessive fatigue of the tire shoulder. Ways to Extend the service life of tires and increase the rate of retreading.

Ensure standard air pressure

Master the inflation standard of the twin-wheel caster tires and ensure that the tire pressure is at the specified value. A swivel caster with brake tire pressure is too high or too low will increase wear and reduce mileage. When the swivel caster with brake tire pressure is lower than the standard value, the wear of the tire shoulder increases sharply; when the tire pressure is higher than the standard value, the tire contact area decreases and the unit pressure increases, causing the middle of the swivel caster with brake tire tread to wear Increasing and increasing the rigidity of the tire at the same time, the dynamic load on the wheel is increased, and the carcass burst is prone to occur. The impact is more serious when driving on uneven roads or at high speeds.
