Castor swivel bearing

Manoeuvrability and flexibility are the most important advantages when using practically any castor. The swivel bearing or back bearing determines how easily and smoothly this works.

Smooth running and manoeuvrability combined in the swivel bearing
The offset, wheel diameter and especially the design of the back bearing determine the swivel characteristics. A distinction is made between plain bearings, roller bearings and ball bearings, the latter being subdivided into those with a single race, double race, or precision ball bearings. The type of swivel bearings used depends on the specific requirements of the castor and its swivel characteristics. Plain bearings are more suitable for lighter loads, while precision ball bearings are used for devices that require very smooth and easy running. 

Which swivel bearing for which application? 
Housings with plain bearings are suitable, for example, for chair and furniture castors which only have to withstand light to medium loads. In this case, the fixing pin can rotate in the castor housing or in the fixing hole. Roller bearings are mainly used in industrial castors. Due to the large bearing diameter, which allows them to withstand high loading torques, they are also suitable for supporting heavy loads.
Housings with a single ball race are used for light furniture and equipment castors for instance, where they are subjected to medium, often impact-free loads. Push-through fasteners or screw-on plates are used as fittings. Versions with a double race, however, can carry larger loads, for equipment castors and industrial castors. The double race reduces the friction in the housing that occurs during tilting, and makes the system run more easily.
Castors for sensitive laboratory equipment and hospital beds need to run particularly smoothly and easily. That is why TENTE castors for these sensitive applications are manufactured with high-quality precision ball bearings according to DIN standards. The easy running and wear resistance of these swivel bearings is impressive, even at maximum loads.
