Twin Wheel Castors
Twin Wheel Castors have two wheels within the one castor housing. They are sometimes called Dual Wheel Castors.They have several advantages over a single wheel castors such as a higher load capacity and the manoeuvrability of heavy loads. The ease of manoeuvrability is because in twin wheel castors the each wheel can rotat...e in different directions. The effect is that dual wheel castor are easier to move and manoeuvre than single wheel castors.
Keystone stocks a massive range of these castors. From Light Duty Pressed Steel Furniture and display stand castors, to heavy duty fabricated castors for industrial transportation units.
The caster wheels available are Nylon, Polypropylene, Rubber Tyre and Polyurethane Tyre. Read More
In Stock150mm AGV Swivel Castor ,Twin Wheel, 630kg Load | Polyurethane Wheel, Ball bearing (GATD150ASFHUD)
This Twin wheel ... Read More150mm Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Castor has a bracket made from strong Forged steel that is zinc plated. There is a hardened Taper Roller Bearing in he swivel head, which has a grease nipple, for smooth swivelling action and durability. The Top Plate is 145mm x 145mm and has 4 bolt holes that are spaced 120mm x 120mm, each with a 11mm hole diameter.The castor is able to tilt +/- 5o from its central axis according to the flatness of the floor. This ensures that this castor's wheels keep contact with the floor allowing smooth AGV movement and protection of the loaded cargo when changing directions (See illustration below)The wheels are more widely separated from each other than most Twin Wheel Castors. When changing direction, the two wheels spin in opposite directions to each other which reduces the castor offset. The smaller the offset the less chance that the AGV will deviate from its designated line.This castor frame has two wheels with a Polyurethane tyre (Shore A 95) on an Aluminium centre each containing ball bearings, The polyurethane wheel has excellent elasticity the minimises slipping that can happen when an AGV starts or stops. In addition, the elasticity also absorbs small shocks arising from small imperfections in the floor. The wheel itself is non marking and will not damage the floor. £773.26Original price was: £773.26.£309.31Current price is: £309.31.Sale! CompareQty- In Stock
150mm AGV Swivel Castor, Twin Wheel, 630kg Capacity | Polyurethane Wheel, Ball bearing (GASD150ASFHUD)
This Twin wheel ... Read MoreAutomated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Castor with 150m diameter wheels has shock absorbing function and a bracket made from strong Forged steel that is zinc plated. There is double thrust bearing in the swivel head to achieve a high load capacity and maintain castor performance and durability.The role of the spring in an AGV castor is different to that of a standard shock absorbing castor. In a standard shock absorbing castor, the spring absorbs shock and noise whereas, it's role in a AGV castor is primarily to keep the wheels in contact with the floor.When determining the overall height requirement of a shock absorbing AVG, it should be designed based on the spring cushion being fully compressed.The shock absorbing pad made from a special rubber compound absorbs minor shocks and vibrations to protect the AGV unit. There is a 10mm range of compression which helps prevent the castors from losing contact with the floor which may be caused by small floor imperfections. An AGV's castor leaving the floor when changing directions is often the cause of the AGV becoming unbalanced and coming to a stop by straying off its designated path.The Top Plate is 145mm x 145mm and has 4 bolt holes that are spaced 120mm x 120mm, each with a 11mm hole diameterThis castor frame has two wheels with a Polyurethane tyre (Shore A 95) on an Aluminium centre each containing ball bearings, Having a twin wheel castor is great for reducing the effort required to swivel the castor and most efficient by reducing the amount of room the castor needs to turn the AGV Cart.The polyurethane wheel has excellent elasticity the minimises slipping that can happen when an AGV starts or stops. In addition, the elasticity also absorbs small shocks arising from small imperfections in the floor.
