Core Considerations for Caster Chain Selection (3 Key Factors)

1.Material Matching Applications: Carbon steel (dry, light-duty environments like supermarket carts), stainless steel (humid/corrosive settings like food processing machinery), alloy steel (heavy-duty/wear-resistant applications like industrial conveyor systems).

2.Pitch and Dimensions: Chain pitch must match caster axle and drive gear pitch (common sizes: 6.35mm, 12.7mm). Chain plate thickness should be selected based on load capacity (≥3mm for heavy-duty applications).

Load Redundancy: Rated load ≥ 1.5 × actual total load (×2 for dynamic loads/frequent starts/stops) to prevent chain fatigue failure.

Application Scenario Recommendations

1.Light-duty consumer (shopping carts, trolleys): Carbon steel short-pitch roller chain, pitch 6.35-9.525mm, no rustproofing required.

2.Medium-load industrial (light conveyor lines, mobile workbenches): Stainless steel or galvanized carbon steel chains, pitch 12.7–19.05 mm, with anti-derail outer plates.

3.Heavy-load harsh environments (workshop heavy-duty carts, outdoor machinery): Alloy steel carburized chains, pitch ≥19.05 mm, maintained with grease lubrication.
