Nylon caster wheels

Posted by Nova Smith on October 19th, 2022

 caster wheels are made with solid nylon material. Black Nylon Caster Wheels are reinforced with glass fiber to increase capacity and reduce friction when rolling. Select Nylon Wheels can come with either stainless bearings or a plain bore for applications in which wheels are exposed to.

BloodEven though these wheels are very light, they can carry about the same capacity of load as most metal wheels and will not flat spot. Nylon wheels are a better choice for use in wet and corrosive applications where chemical resistance and a higher load capacity are needed.

No other wheel material works better than soft rubber when it comes to how it moves. Our soft grey rubber wheels don’t leave marks, are quiet, absorb shock (which protects cargo and extends the life of the equipment), can roll over small objects, protect expensive floors, and reduce vibration. They are not perfect because they are not easy to roll when they are full.

Ratings of load capacity don’t consider how hard it is to move a load by hand (drawbar pull measured in pounds). If you want to move things by hand with these grey soft rubber caster wheels, cut the capacity ratings in half and choose the largest wheel diameter you can. You shouldn’t leave these caster wheels standing with a load on them for long periods, because the tires may “set” or get flat spots. Almost any dry factory floor can be used with them. The glue that holds the rubber tire to the polyolefin center can break down if it is exposed to certain chemicals, hit, overloaded, or heat builds up.
