Ball Journal Bearing Precision ball journal bearing provides smooth 360-degree rotation with minimal effort, reducing operator fatigue and improving manoeuvrability across your facility. Versatile 4-Hole Top Plate Standard 4-hole mounting configuration with 80mm x 60mm fixing centres ensures compatibility with a wide range of trolleys, carts, and equipment platforms for straightforward installation. 120kg Load Capacity Each castor supports up to 120kg, providing a combined capacity of 480kg when using four castors, making it suitable for medium-duty material handling and transport applications. Ideal Applications Warehouse trolleys and platform carts Workshop equipment and tool cabinets Medical and healthcare equipment trolleys Food service and catering carts Retail display units and merchandising fixtures Office furniture and mobile storage units Light manufacturing and assembly line equipment Hospitality and cleaning equipment Installation & Maintenance Installation Guidelines Mount the castor using four M10 bolts through the 11mm diameter holes with 80mm x 60mm fixing centres. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and secure. Tighten bolts evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Position swivel castors at corners for optimal manoeuvrability. Maintenance Recommendations Regularly inspect wheels for wear, debris accumulation, and bearing smoothness. Clean wheels and brake mechanisms periodically to maintain optimal performance. Check mounting bolts for tightness and replace any damaged components promptly. Lubricate bearings as needed to ensure smooth rotation. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between a directional brake and a total lock brake? A directional brake locks only the swivel mechanism, allowing the wheel to roll forward and backward while preventing side-to-side rotation. This is ideal for moving equipment in straight lines. A total lock brake stops both swivel and wheel rotation completely, preventing all movement. How many castors do I need for my trolley or cart? Most applications require four castors for stability and balanced load distribution. Calculate your total load and divide by four to determine the per-castor requirement. Ensure each castor's capacity exceeds this figure with a safety margin. For larger equipment, additional castors may be necessary. Can these castors be used on uneven or outdoor surfaces? These castors are designed for smooth indoor surfaces such as concrete, tile, and epoxy flooring. For uneven surfaces or outdoor use, consider larger diameter wheels with pneumatic or rubber construction that can better absorb shocks and navigate irregular terrain. What bolt size is required for installation? The 11mm diameter mounting holes accommodate M10 bolts. Use appropriate washers and lock nuts to ensure secure fastening. Always verify that your mounting surface thickness and material can support the intended load. Will white nylon wheels mark or damage my floors? White nylon wheels are floor-friendly and typically do not leave marks on most hard surfaces when properly maintained. However, debris caught in the wheel tread can cause marking, so regular cleaning is recommended. For highly polished or sensitive floors, consider non-marking rubber alternatives. How do I determine the correct castor height for my application? The total height of this castor is 108mm from the mounting surface to the floor. Consider this measurement when designing or modifying equipment to ensure adequate ground clearance and ergonomic working height for operators. Should I use all swivel castors or a combination of swivel and fixed? For maximum manoeuvrability, use four swivel castors. For improved straight-line tracking and stability, use two swivel castors at one end and two fixed castors at the opposite end. The directional brake on these castors can also help control movement when needed. Are these castors suitable for food preparation or clean room environments? The white nylon wheel and smooth design make these castors suitable for environments where cleanliness is important. The white colour helps identify contamination, and the smooth surfaces are easy to clean. However, always verify compliance with specific industry regulations for your application.
