What is the Difference in the Use of Caster Round Edges and Flat Edges?

1. Round edged casters (curved edges)
1). Features: The wheel edge is arc-shaped, with a smooth transition when in contact with the ground.
2). Application:
A. Flexible steering:
B. Shock absorption and impact resistance:
C. Silent requirement:
D. Carpet/Uneven Floor
2. Flat edge casters (right angled edges)
1). Features: The wheel edge is right angled or close to a right angle, with a large contact area with the ground.
2). Application:
A. High load-bearing stability:
B. Linear motion priority
C. Wear resistant and durable
D. Anti slip
3. Others
1). Ground type: Round edges are suitable for uneven ground, flat edges are suitable for flat and hard ground.
4. Summary and selection suggestions
1). Choose round edges: high demand for flexible movement, shock absorption, and quietness.
2). Choose a flat edge: heavy load, mainly driven in a straight line, high wear resistance requirements.
