What are the shockproof and shock-absorbing design principles of industrial casters?

The shock-proof and shock-absorbing design of industrial casters is an important part of ensuring stability and safety in the transportation of industrial equipment and goods. In daily work, these casters often face various challenges such as uneven ground, high-speed operation, and collision and vibration during transportation. In order to reduce the impact of these vibrations and shocks on equipment, goods and the working environment, we continue to explore and optimize various shockproof and shock-absorbing design principles.

The choice of shock-absorbing material is crucial. Commonly used shock-absorbing materials for industrial casters include elastic materials such as rubber and polyurethane. These materials have good shock-absorbing and buffering properties and can effectively absorb the impact from ground vibrations and equipment operation, thereby reducing the extent of impact transmission to equipment and cargo and protecting them from damage.

By adding shock-absorbing structures such as springs, shock-absorbing pads or shock-absorbing blocks to the tires or bearings, the casters' ability to buffer vibrations and impacts can be enhanced. These structures are designed to absorb and disperse impact energy so that it is not transferred directly to equipment or cargo, thus protecting them from damage.

Shockproof design is also one of the key considerations in industrial caster design. The anti-shock design is designed to reduce the impact of external shocks on the casters, further reducing the possibility of shock being transmitted to equipment and cargo. Anti-vibration pads or shock-absorbing pads are usually installed around the casters to isolate external vibrations and protect equipment and cargo from damage.
