What’s a cone ball bearing?
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.
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.
