FAQ
What thread sizes are available for LD-428 stem casters?
The LD-428 threaded stem caster series is available in standard metric thread sizes: M8, M10, M12, M14, and M16. Stem lengths typically range from 25mm to 50mm depending on the thread size and model. All threads are precision rolled to ensure smooth engagement and proper load distribution. Custom thread sizes and lengths are available through our OEM customization service for volume orders.
How do I install threaded stem casters?
Threaded stem casters install by screwing the stem into a pre-tapped hole or a threaded insert (also called a caster socket or insert nut) installed in the bottom of the equipment leg. Simply align the stem with the threaded hole and rotate the caster clockwise until fully seated. No special tools are required for installation, though a spanner wrench can be used for final tightening. Ensure the threaded hole or insert matches the stem thread size exactly for proper fit and load capacity.
What is the load capacity per caster for the LD-428 series?
Load capacity for LD-428 threaded stem casters ranges from 30kg per caster for the 50mm wheel up to 250kg per caster for the 125mm wheel with heavy-duty bracket. The exact capacity depends on wheel size, wheel material, and bracket configuration. As a general guideline, M8 and M10 stems typically support 30-100kg, M12 stems support 50-150kg, and M14/M16 stems support 100-250kg per caster. Always apply a safety factor of 25-30% when calculating total cart or equipment load capacity.
Which wheel material should I choose: PU, nylon, or rubber?
The choice depends on your application requirements. Polyurethane (PU) wheels are the most versatile, offering excellent floor protection, quiet operation, good load capacity, and resistance to wear and chemicals. Nylon wheels are the hardest and most durable, ideal for heavy loads and rough floors but louder and potentially damaging to delicate flooring. Rubber wheels provide the best shock absorption and noise reduction but have lower load capacity and may wear faster on rough surfaces. For most general-purpose indoor use on smooth floors, PU is the recommended choice.
