Maintenance and care of industrial casters

Industrial casters are an essential part of industrial equipment, and they perform important tasks. In order to ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of casters, regular maintenance is necessary. The following are the steps for maintaining and caring for industrial casters:

1. Regular cleaning: Casters will accumulate dust, oil stains, dirt, etc. during use, which will affect their normal operation. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary. Soft brushes or damp cloths can be used for cleaning, and corrosive cleaning agents should be avoided.

2. Lubrication: Casters require lubrication during operation to reduce friction and wear. The choice of lubricant should be based on the different caster materials and working environments. Generally, lubricants should be reapplied after each cleaning.

3. Check the axle: The caster axle is an important component that connects the caster and the equipment. If there is a problem with the axle, the caster cannot operate normally. Therefore, regularly check for loose or damaged axles and replace them in a timely manner if there are any problems.

4. Check the tire: The tire is an important component of the caster. If there are cracks, wear and tear, etc., it needs to be replaced. Regularly check the wear and tear of the tire and replace it in a timely manner if necessary.

5. Check the brake: Some industrial casters have brakes that are used to control the movement and stopping of the equipment. Regularly check whether the brakes are operating normally, and repair or replace them in a timely manner if there are any problems.

6. Storage: If the caster is not used for a long time, it needs to be stored. When storing, the caster should be cleaned, lubricated, and placed in a dry, ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and moisture.

By following the above maintenance and care steps, the normal operation and service life of industrial casters can be ensured.
