The Galea swivel caster is engineered for applications requiring reliable mobility and directional control, including care beds, catering carts and meal delivery systems, and shower chairs. This caster features a bolt hole fitting type that enables secure and straightforward installation onto equipment frames and bases. The housing is constructed from polyamide, a durable engineering polymer that provides excellent chemical resistance and structural integrity, and incorporates two ball races within the swivel bearing assembly to ensure smooth rotation and extended operational life. The wheel measures 4.92 inches in diameter and is composed of a polypropylene body with a thermoplastic rubber tread material, supported by a plain bearing that facilitates smooth rolling motion while minimizing maintenance requirements. The overall height of the caster assembly is 6.38 inches, making it suitable for integration into compact and standard equipment designs. The Galea caster is rated for a static load capacity of 440.92 pounds, supporting stationary applications and sustained weight distribution, while the dynamic load capacity reaches 220.46 pounds at a maximum operational speed of 1.86 miles per hour, ensuring safe performance during active transport and maneuvering operations. This combination of robust materials, precision bearing systems, and substantial load ratings makes the Galea swivel caster an ideal choice for demanding healthcare and food service environments.
The Galea swivel castor with directional lock features a bolt hole fitting and a polyamide housing containing two ball races for the swivel bearing. The wheel body is made of polypropylene with a thermoplastic rubber tread. The wheel utilizes a plain bearing and has a diameter of 4.92 inches. The overall height of the castor is 6.38 inches. At a speed of 3 km/h, the Galea castor has a load capacity of 220.46 lb. Under static load conditions, the load capacity is 440.92 lb. The directional lock allows the castor to roll freely in a straight line but prevents swiveling. The bolt hole fitting provides a secure method of attachment to the supported equipment. The polyamide housing and polypropylene wheel body provide strength and durability while minimizing weight. The ball bearing races enable smooth swiveling when the directional lock is not engaged. The tread material gives good grip and abrasion resistance on hard floors. With its high load capacity and directional locking feature, the Galea castor is well-suited for use on carts, workbenches, and other mobile equipment where controlled straight-line motion is desired.
