PVC M8*25 Threaded Stem Caster Wheels 50mm Threaded Stem Castors

2 Inch Black PVC M8*25 Double Ball Bearings Swivel Caster - Easy Assembling For Equipment

Feature and Functional Purpose

• Wheel Size & Material (2" Black PVC):
  • Feature: The wheel has a 2-inch diameter and is made from Black Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
  • Functional Purpose: PVC provides a hard, smooth rolling surface. It is designed to offer low rolling resistance on smooth floors while being resistant to oil, grease, and certain chemicals. It protects flooring from the black marks often left by rubber wheels.
• Mounting Type (M8*25):
  • Feature: The caster features a threaded stem (M8 indicates a metric 8mm diameter thread, and 25 indicates a stem length of 25mm).
  • Functional Purpose: This allows for secure, bolt-on attachment. Instead of using a large top plate, the caster screws directly into threaded inserts or through holes in the equipment, providing a very rigid connection.
• Movement Mechanism (Double Ball Bearings Swivel):
  • Feature: It contains two rows of ball bearings in the swivel head (the part that rotates) and bearings in the wheel itself.
  • Functional Purpose: This allows the caster to rotate 360 degrees smoothly under load. The double bearings handle thrust (vertical) and radial (horizontal) forces simultaneously, ensuring the caster turns easily even when supporting heavy weight, preventing seizing or sticking.
• Ease of Assembly:
  • Feature: The M8 stem design is pre-attached to the caster body.
  • Functional Purpose: It simplifies installation. The user only needs to drill a hole or have a pre-threaded socket, push the stem in, and tighten a nut/washer (or screw it into a threaded hole) without needing to align four separate bolt holes as you would with a plate caster.

Summary of Functional Benefits

• Exceptional Manoeuvrability: The double ball bearing raceway ensures the swivel action remains fluid and responsive, allowing equipment to change direction instantly with minimal effort.
• Durable & Quiet Operation: The combination of precision bearings and hard PVC material ensures the equipment rolls smoothly without the "squeaking" or jerky movements associated with inferior casters.
• Easy Installation: The M8 stem mounting is significantly faster and simpler to install than traditional plate casters, making it ideal for quick assembly projects or retrofitting.
• Floor Protection: The Black PVC material is non-staining and non-marking on most finished floors (like sealed concrete, tile, or hardwood), preventing scuffs.
• Secure Fit: The specific M8*25 sizing ensures a tight, wobble-free fit in the equipment leg, providing stability for the equipment during use.

Ideal Applications

• This specific caster type is best suited for light to medium-duty equipment where ease of movement and easy installation are key.
• Medical & Healthcare Equipment: Ideal for small medical carts, IV stands, or lightweight diagnostic equipment due to its smooth rolling and chemical resistance (easy to clean).
• Light Industrial Carts: Perfect for tool stands, service carts, or assembly line trays in workshops or factories.
• Retail & Display Fixtures: Commonly used on portable shelving units, small display racks, or podium dollies where a low height and professional look are required.
• Office Equipment: Suitable for under-desk storage units, small AV carts, or portable printer stands.
• Furniture: Can be used on lightweight furniture pieces that need to be moved frequently but aren't load-bearing for seating (e.g., small side tables or plant stands).
