Medical casters are widely used in hospitals, medical instruments, medical devices and other fields due to their distinctive appearance, high quality materials and excellent processing quality. Precise rotation and rolling, quiet driving performance and outstanding hygienic features have made the screw medical casters a popular choice for the majority of users.

Casters can be divided into furniture casters, home appliance casters, medical casters, industrial casters, etc. according to the application industry classification. Threaded stem medical casters are one of the major categories. The special application field of medical treatment has put forward many requirements for medical casters.

 

Medical caster features:

1. The medical casters are used frequently and are used in special occasions.

2. Medical reel vehicles a wide variety, such as stretcher cars, wheelchairs, treatment vehicles, medication vehicles, medical records and so on.

3. Medical casters require stable walking, taboos, especially for patients with injuries and multiple fractures, bumps may aggravate the patient's condition, and even affect the later treatment effect.

4. Medical reel also requires silence, noise can not be too large, excessive noise to increase the patient's troubles, affect the patient's rest, and even affect the treatment of the disease.

Factors affecting the life of the medical casters:

1. Avoid overloading or improper use. When the cargo is heavy, it should be lightly placed on the vehicle. High-speed driving or heavy objects hitting the wheels can cause damage to the wheels or equipment.

2. The function of the medical casters cannot be changed.

3. The moving axle must always be vertical.

4. The installed screw medical caster bracket must have sufficient strength and the material must be reliable.

5. If the fixed screw medical casters are used with the rotating screw medical casters, all the lead screw medical casters must be compatible with each other and must be recommended by the manufacturer.

6. The fixed medical casters must be in line with their axles.

7. The medical casters are correctly and reliably installed in the designed position.

8. Regularly check the brackets and fasteners: tighten the loose axle and nut and check the weld or support plate for damage. Overload or impact can cause the bracket to twist. The twisted bracket causes the heavy load to be tilted against the individual wheels and causes premature wheel damage.

9. When installing the medical casters, use a lock nut or a lock washer. The expansion medical casters must be installed securely in the casing.

10, regular lubrication, wheels and moving bearings can be used for a long time. Applying grease to the axles, seals and frictional parts of the roller bearings reduces friction and makes them more flexible. Lubrication is normally performed every six months under normal conditions. The car should be lubricated after the monthly cleaning.

11. Visually inspect the wheel wear. The wheels are not rotating smoothly and are related to debris. The anti-wrap cover blocks the entanglement of these debris. Over-tightening or over-tightening of the medical casters is another factor, replacing the broken wheels to avoid unstable rotation.

12. If the rivet of the medical caster center is fixed by the nut, it must be securely locked. If the moving steering is not free to rotate, check the ball for corrosion or dirt. If a fixed-type medical caster is fitted, the medical caster bracket must be free of bending.
