Casters are divided into two categories: fixed casters and universal casters, but we occasionally hear you talking about movable casters. So, what kind of casters are movable casters and what are the differences between movable casters and fixed casters?
1. The difference between flexible turns
Mobile casters: Flexible turning in the plane, it is worth noting that the turning radius is different from the braking turning radius, as well as from the side braking turning radius and the double braking turning radius.
Fixed casters: only forward and backward.
2. Differences in Stability of Linear Motion Systems
Active spellcaster: When walking quickly, it is easy to change direction, resulting in unstable linear motion that is difficult to control.
Fixed casters: Fast walking speed, not easy to change direction, because the left and right directions are locked, can only move forward or backward.
3. Differences in requirements for road surface smoothness
Mobile casters: suitable for flat road surfaces, usually used indoors.
Fixed casters: can adapt to uneven road surfaces to a certain degree of impact on enterprises, and can be used outdoors.
4. Differences in Cost
Activity casters: The cost of activity casters of the same model is often higher than that of fixed casters because their design is more complex and their functionality is more powerful.
Fixed casters: Relatively inexpensive, if there are no special requirements, fixed casters can be chosen, but usually movable casters will be used together with fixed casters.
In short, mobile casters and fixed casters are different, and the above four points are their commonalities, but it does not specify which type of caster is better. In many cases, they need to be used together..
