Product Description
This universal caster is engineered to provide safe and controllable mobility for children's chairs in institutional settings. The core technical principle involves a 55-position switching mechanism that allows caregivers or staff to lock the caster's direction or swivel function, addressing the need for stability during seated activities and mobility during room reconfiguration.
The product is manufactured in compliance with general safety standards for furniture components. The construction utilizes a nylon body for structural integrity and a TPR wheel designed for quiet operation and floor surface preservation.
Application Areas
This product is suitable for the following institutional and commercial scenarios:
- Preschools and kindergartens for classroom furniture mobility solutions.
- Daycare centers requiring controlled movement of children's seating.
- Childcare facilities where floor surface protection is a priority.
- Children's libraries and activity rooms.
FAQ
What is the advantage of having 55 switch positions on a caster wheel?
The 55-position switch mechanism allows for highly precise control over the caster's movement. This granularity enables users to lock the wheel in a straight line for pushing, lock the swivel for stationary use, or select any degree of rotation in between. This level of control is particularly beneficial for managing the movement of children's chairs, ensuring they can be moved safely when needed but remain stable during use.
Is this caster truly universal and how do I confirm it will fit my existing chairs?
The term "universal" refers to the standardized top plate mounting system, which is compatible with the majority of children's chairs designed for casters. To confirm compatibility, measure the distance between the mounting holes on your current chair. The plate dimensions are 55mm x 45mm. Comparing these measurements to your chair's bolt pattern will determine fitment.
How does the TPR wheel material protect flooring surfaces?
Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) is a non-marking material formulated to be softer and more pliable than hard plastics. This composition minimizes the risk of scratching, scuffing, or leaving black marks on sensitive floor finishes like vinyl, laminate, and sealed hardwood, which are common in educational and childcare environments. The material also contributes to quieter operation.
