Industrial swivel caster with brake 348

The medium load capacity Series 348 is a line of industrial casters with a galvanized steel housing and a solid white polypropylene (PP) wheel. The polypropylene wheels of this series can withstand high loads. The high wear resistance of the material ensures a long service life for these models.
The wheels do not leave marks on the floor; have low noise levels; and offer good resistance to moisture, mildly acidic, and mildly alkaline environments.
Operating temperature range: from -20 to +60 °C.

Thanks to the swivel mechanism, the wheels can easily change direction and rotate. The ball bearing installed in the swivel assembly ensures smooth rotation. The brake locks both the wheel rotation and the swivel bracket, ensuring the equipment remains in a fixed position.
They are designed for use in warehouse, construction, retail, food industry, and light industrial equipment.

Information about casters and operating conditions
• Casters are replaceable technical components mounted on equipment, platform carts, and similar devices to provide mobility. This information applies to swivel casters intended exclusively for use on non-motorized transport units and equipment (hereafter referred to as “units”) that are typically stationary and moved at speeds not exceeding 4 km/h.
• Operating conditions primarily include technically correct installation:
– The caster must be securely attached to the unit at all designated mounting points.
– Swivel casters must be installed with their swivel axis in a vertical position.
– Fixed (rigid) casters must be mounted so that their wheel axes lie on parallel lines.
– All swivel casters installed on a unit must be of the same type.
– The load on a single caster is calculated using the formula:
Q = ((M + m) / (n – 1)) × W
Where:
Q – load on one caster
M – weight of the transported load
m – weight of the cart
n – number of casters
W – safety factor (>1 under non-standard operating conditions)
• The caster, bracket, braking and locking systems, as well as the wheel axle, form a single functional assembly.
• A necessary condition for proper caster selection is the availability of data on all potential loads.
