Tente ESD swivel caster 125 mm, polyurethane tread, bolt hole fitting 11 mm

Anyone fitting out workbenches, material carts or chassis for the ESD protected area needs casters that do not electrically isolate the structure and that run easily on smooth shop floors. This swivel caster has a wheel diameter of 125 mm, a wheel centre of electrically conductive polyamide and a tread of moulded polyurethane. It is mounted through a bolt hole with a mounting dimension of 11 mm.

Benefits

• Wheel centre of electrically conductive polyamide, so the structure stays tied into the grounding path through the caster instead of acting as an insulator.
• Tread of moulded polyurethane, bonded to the wheel centre rather than fitted as a separate band.
• Precision ball bearings in the wheel keep the starting resistance low even with a loaded trolley.
• Thread guards at the axle stop threads and strapping from winding into the bearing.
• Swivel head with a double ball race keeps steering easy even when the trolley is pushed from the side.
• Plastic housing keeps the caster light and free of rust.
• Mounting as a bolt hole fitting with a dimension of 11 mm, suited to chassis with a prepared seat.

Application

Typical use is on material and shelf trolleys, mobile workbenches, test positions and chassis inside an EPA, wherever populated assemblies are moved and the whole structure has to stay electrostatically controlled. The thread guards pay off in kitting and packing areas, where strapping and tying material lies on the floor. The range is also supplied in further wheel diameters, so swivel and fixed casters on one chassis can be matched to the same overall height.
