Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CA 11-MP-523-R caster assembly?
A: The CA 11-MP-523-R is a rigid caster assembly designed for 11 Series stocking carts with a 5 inch diameter mold-on polyurethane wheel. It features a pressed steel frame with zinc plating for corrosion resistance and plate mounting for secure attachment.
Q: What are the specifications of the CA 11-MP-523-R?
A: Wheel diameter: 5 inches. Tread material: Mold-on polyurethane. Core material: Steel. Frame material: Pressed steel. Finish: Zinc plated. Mounting type: Plate mount. Design: Rigid (non-swiveling). This assembly is suitable for front wheel positions or applications where directional locking is required.
Q: What is the difference between the CA 11-MP-523-R rigid caster and a swivel caster?
A: The CA 11-MP-523-R is rigid, meaning it does not rotate. It is mounted in a fixed forward direction and is typically used as a front caster or when directional stability is required. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees and provide full steering. Carts typically use swivel casters on back and rigid on front.
Q: Why is the CA 11-MP-523-R zinc plated?
A: Zinc plating protects the pressed steel frame from rust and corrosion, extending equipment lifespan. This is especially important in humid environments, near cleaning areas, or cold storage. The zinc coating is maintenance-free and provides long-term corrosion resistance.
Q: How should the CA 11-MP-523-R be maintained?
A: Clean the polyurethane wheel regularly to maintain traction. Inspect the wheel for cuts, gouges, or delamination from the core. Check mounting bolts for tightness and corrosion. Lubricate the wheel bearing according to manufacturer guidelines. Do not use harsh solvents on polyurethane.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the CA 11-MP-523-R?
A: The rigid rigid caster with mold-on polyurethane typically lasts 3 to 5 years in standard use. The zinc-plated steel frame resists corrosion well. Lifespan depends on load, usage frequency, and floor surface. Replace if polyurethane delaminates, the wheel develops flat spots, or mounting bolts cannot be tightened.
