What the caster is used for
In the modern production of interior items, the classic furniture wheel support is often found. Quality assurance of such elements is important for any manufacturer who cares about the reliability and functionality of their products. At the same time, the form of operation of such supports for furniture can be very diverse. Wheels are installed in most cases on chairs, beds, bedside tables and other items that often have to be moved during use. For example, to facilitate access to hard-to-reach places during cleaning, without using physical force. Also wheels can be installed on furniturepublic items. This category includes carts in supermarkets, office chairs, hospital gurneys and other items that need to constantly carry heavy loads. The wheel support will be indispensable for installation on transport equipment in industrial production.
How to make the best choice
When choosing, keep in mind that the furniture wheel support should be selected taking into account the degree of expected load. There are a number of other environmental factors that often significantly reduce the maneuverability of the furniture or other object for which the support is intended. If the choice is made incorrectly, then there is an increased likelihood of injury during movement or damage to the furniture material.
How not to use wheeled furniture
Do not exceed the permissible degree of load on the furniture structure. In addition, it cannot be transported over a floor surface that is inappropriate in quality. If you put a wheel-supported element on the brake, you should not try to move the structure from its place by applying a rough dynamic load. Do not move the structure at a speed of more than 4 km / h and allow foreign elements to enter the system.
The thrust bearing is the most common furniture support. Most often it is made of plastic. There are several varieties of it. The first one can be considered a furniture support made “under a nail”, and the second one is an element in the form of a button.
Functionality of supports
Of course, there are many different elements that are installed on both cabinet and upholstered furniture. Since, as a result of their installation, the frame of the structure rises above the floor, moisture practically does not get inside, and the laminate with which some types of furniture are covered does not begin to flake off and bubble.
Be aware that due to the various designs of upholstered furniture, manufacturers had to modernize the wheel support as well. On the same furniture, it can be completely different forms. In addition, it may also contain a special decorative finish. It is performed in the form of decorative carvings and various inserts. It can be gold-plated, painted or chrome-plated. Everything directly depends on the model and the manufacturer, who seeks to choose an individual furniture option for any modern interior design.
