14 Fixed castors Designations 1 = fixed housing 2 = wheel 3 = wheel axle Dimensions H = total height/installation height A,B = plate size a,b = screw hole spacing d = screw hole diameter Fixed castors Fixed castors do not swivel; they provide machinery and equipment with directional stability. Screw-on mounting plates have proven their worth as secure fastening mechanisms. Bolt-hole swivel castors Designations 1 = bolt hole 2 = swivel fork 3 = wheel 4 = wheel axle Dimensions H = total height / installation height F = projection A = plate size d = bolt hole diameter Swivel castors Swivel castors can be fitted with locking mechanisms for locking the following functions: • The rotating motion of the wheel (wheel brake) • The rotating motion of the wheel and the pivoting motion of the fork (wheel and swivel brake) • The pivoting motion of the fork (directional brake) The best fastening mechanisms have proven to be mounting plates, steel stems for tubes, as well as screw attach- ment using the bolt hole located in the swivel housing. Swivel castor with plate Designations 1 = mounting plate 2 = swivel fork 3 = wheel 4 = wheel axle Dimensions H = total height / installation height F = projection A, B = plate size a, b = screw hole spacing d = screw hole diameter Castors The term castors refers to non-driven components which consist of at least one wheel and a housing. We distinguish between swivel castors and fixed castors. Swivel castors allow a constant change of direction via a bearing which is built into the housing. Swivel castors can also be fitted with brakes that can lock the wheel mo- vement, pivoting motion, or both at the same time. Fixed castors, on the other hand, are characterized by directional stability and cannot be pivoted. www.torwegge.de/en
