Ball bearings belong to the group of rolling bearings. They use balls as rolling elements between the outer and inner ring. Cone ball bearings are a subgroup of ball bearings. Castors with a ball bearing offer particularly good running characteristics compared to those with a plain bearing. The quality of a castor depends heavily on the type of wheel bearing as well as on the swivel bearing, the tread and the wheel diameter. The choice of bearing therefore plays an important role. A castor used in heavy-duty transport, for example, places different demands on a wheel bearing than hospital bed castors or castors for shopping trolleys.
Cone ball bearing: Removable and readjustable
The cone ball bearing in TENTE castors is unlike other wheel bearings because it is detachable. This means that they can be replaced, if necessary, to ensure continued operation. It is also possible to readjust the conical ball bearings if natural wear and tear causes axial and radial play to occur in the wheel bearing. The bearing can be adjusted by tightening the axle screw connection until the play is taken up.
