Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Plain Bearing Castors
Plain bearing castors are the simplest and most robust wheel bearing design, relying on direct contact between the wheel hub and axle without the use of ball or roller elements. This construction makes them exceptionally durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to dirt or moisture ingress. Ideal for applications where mobility is important but high-speed travel or frequent directional changes are not required, plain bearing castors excel in environments that demand reliability under tough conditions.
TENTE castors with plain bearings offer various benefits:
Low Maintenance – With fewer moving parts and no delicate bearing components, plain bearing castors require minimal upkeep. They are less prone to failure from dirt, dust, or moisture ingress, which reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Cost-Effectiveness – Their simple construction means lower production costs compared to precision bearing designs, offering an excellent cost-benefit factor without sacrificing reliability. This makes plain bearings a budget-friendly choice for industries that require robust mobility at scale.
Impact Load – Their solid design can withstand shock loads and rough handling without performance loss, making them ideal for demanding working conditions.
Corrosion Resistance - Plain bearings can be manufactured as plastic, metal or sintered bearings. Stainless steel options offer corrosion resistance, making them suitable for wet environments.
Types of Castors with Plain Bearing
Plain bearing castors come in a wide range of designs, each optimised for specific operating conditions and performance priorities. At TENTE, we manufacture plain bearing models in various wheel materials, tread hardness levels, and housing configurations to match the demands of different industries. Whether designed for quiet, non-marking movement on delicate floors, resistance to moisture and chemicals in hygiene-critical areas, or rugged performance in outdoor and industrial environments, each type offers its own balance of load capacity, rolling resistance, and durability. By selecting the right combination of wheel material and housing design, you can ensure reliable, long-lasting mobility in your application. Below are some commonly used types of castors with plain bearing.
Plain Bearing Swivel Castors
Plain bearing swivel castors combine the simplicity and durability of a plain bearing wheel with the manoeuvrability of a swivel housing. This design allows for directional changes while maintaining the robust, low-maintenance qualities that plain bearings are known for. However, be aware that these castors are not ideal for environments, that require frequent directional changes. Because there is more resistance in the bearing, the user needs to exert more force to swivel the castor, especially under load. This makes them less ergonomic for equipment that requires constant steering adjustments. The design excels in heavy duty, low-maintenance environments where the castor mostly travels straight or only occasionally changes direction.
Plain Bearing Heavy Duty Castors
For applications where extreme loads and tough conditions are the norm, plain bearing heavy duty castors deliver uncompromising performance. Their robust design, free from delicate rolling elements, makes them highly resistant to shock loading, impacts, and wear. The absence of complex bearing components means they maintain their performance even in dirty or abrasive conditions, making them a reliable choice for applications like heavy transport equipment. Our strongest plain bearing castor is Kappa load, capable of handling loads of up to 1.320 kg. It features a cast iron housing and a heavy polyamide wheel, equipped with a plain bearing. This Kappa load configuration is available with either a toal lock or directional lock.
Small Plain Bearing Castors
Small plain bearing castors are designed for applications where compact size, manoeuvrability, and reliability are key. Despite their reduced dimensions, they maintain the same simple and robust bearing design as larger models, ensuring smooth rolling and dependable performance. These castors are ideal for light to medium-duty use, where space constraints or equipment design call for a low overall height without sacrificing stability. Our smallest plain bearing castors are from the Agila series. They impress with a wheel diameter of just 50 mm and an overall height of 69 mm in their smallest configuration. These castors are available with both a bolt hole and plate fitting and can be equipped with a wheel brake. They are commonly used in healthcare furniture applications, professional cleaning carts and more.
Fields of Application for Castors with Plain Bearing
Plain bearing castors are widely used in industries and environments where durability, low maintenance, and high load capacity take priority over high-speed manoeuvring. Their simple yet robust design allows them to perform reliably in industrial manufacturing and material handling tasks, including the movement of heavy transport platforms or assembly line equipment. In food processing and catering, plain bearing castors using corrosion-resistant materials like polyamide or stainless steel offer dependable mobility in hygiene-sensitive environments with frequent wash-downs. This makes them a popular choice for applications like catering carts and meal delivery systems. They are also used in retail environments for applications such as store fixtures and displays, which require smooth mobility but are not frequently repositioned.
