Frequently asked questions about silent casters (FAQ)
1. What are silent casters?
Silent casters have a wheel surface that is usually made of elastic materials (such as polyurethane or rubber) to reduce the noise they make when rolling. These casters are particularly suitable for use in places where a quiet environment is required, such as libraries, hospitals, and shopping centers.
2.What material are the silent casters made of?
Common materials for silent casters include:
Polyurethane: Highly abrasion-resistant and impact-resistant, suitable for a variety of floors.
Rubber: Highly elastic, suitable for uneven ground, and quiet.
Nylon: Suitable for industrial environments, but not as quiet.
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer): Excellent noise reduction and shock absorption.
3.What are the benefits of silent casters?
Low noise: The elastic material can effectively absorb vibration and reduce rolling noise.
Protects floors: The soft wheel surface will not scratch the floor and is suitable for floors such as hardwood and tile.
Comfortable to use: Smooth rolling, suitable for environments requiring quietness and comfort.
4. What are the disadvantages of silent casters?
Load capacity limitations: Due to the soft wheel surface, Silent Casters usually have a lower load capacity than rigid casters.
Restricted environments: Extreme temperatures and humidity can affect the performance of Silent Casters.
5.How do I maintain the silent casters?
Regular cleaning of foreign objects: Prevent hair, threads, etc. from getting stuck in the axle and affecting rolling.
Lubricate the bearings: Lubricate them regularly to keep the bearings rotating smoothly.
Check for wear and damage: Replace any wheels that are badly worn or damaged as soon as possible to avoid any impact on use.
