The heavy-duty caster is a rigid wheel that fixes the inner edge of the tire, supports the tire, and bears the load together with the tire. The combined tires, rims, and spokes are also collectively referred to as wheels. The wheel assembly is composed of a swivel caster with a brake and tires. So what is the temperature control and inspection of a swivel caster with a brake? Let's take a look together next.
Here is the content list
l Control tire temperature
l Routine inspection before driving
During use, the swivel caster with a brake will increase the temperature of the tire due to deformation and friction. When it reaches 100℃ or higher, the strength of the tire body will be greatly reduced, which can easily cause delamination, blasting, and other damage. The temperature of the swivel caster wheels is not easy to measure. It is usually judged according to the degree of tire pressure increase. The higher the tire pressure, the higher the tire temperature. When the ambient temperature is above 30°C, the increase in heavy-duty caster tire pressure should not exceed 20% of the inflation standard. Due to poor heat dissipation conditions, the tire temperature can easily exceed 100°C. When driving in high temperatures in summer, if the temperature of swivel caster wheels tires is too high, you should park in a cool place to cool down naturally. It is strictly forbidden to use methods such as splashing cold water and venting to cool down. Because splashing cold water will cause the tire to cool down suddenly, the parts shrink unevenly, and cracks are prone to occur, which affects the service life. When the weather is hot, if there is a road section that needs to be waded on the way, you should also stop and cool down first to avoid adverse effects on the tires. If the air is deflated on the way, although the tire pressure drops, the tire temperature does not decrease, but it destroys the original balance condition. When continuing to drive, the deformation increases due to the decrease in air pressure, which will cause the temperature of the tire to continue to rise on the original basis. Until the heat generation and heat dissipation of the tire are rebalanced, the temperature of the swivel caster with the brake tire is much higher than before, causing serious damage to the tire.
Before driving, check the swivel caster with a brake for bulges, cracks, cuts, nails, lack of air, and abnormal wear. If found, repair it immediately. Check the tire surface groove, whether it is pierced by debris, metal pieces, glass, etc., or there are foreign objects such as stones in the tire groove. If you find it, please use a screwdriver to remove it. Check the tightening of the heavy-duty caster fixing nut, and tighten it in time if it is loose. If the tire pressure is found to be lower than the standard 20%, you must go to the nearest swivel caster with a brake shop as soon as possible to remove the tires and have them inspected by professionals. Pay attention to whether there is any deformation, cracking, etc. on the rim of the car body to facilitate driving safety.
