Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a friction wheel and how does it differ from a ball bearing wheel?
A: The CA 327-A-F is a friction wheel with no ball bearing assembly. It has a simplified design that reduces cost but requires more pushing force. Friction wheels are used in light-duty applications or where bearing-mounted wheels are not compatible.

Q: What dimensions does the CA 327-A-F have?
A: The CA 327-A-F measures 5 inches in diameter with a 1-1/4 inch tread width. Verify these dimensions match your cart assembly before purchase.

Q: Is the CA 327-A-F wheel non-marking?
A: Yes. Like other CA 327-A variants, this wheel features a polyurethane tread finish designed to resist marking floors in retail and commercial environments.

Q: When should I use a friction wheel instead of a bearing wheel?
A: Friction wheels are suitable for light-duty shopping carts or applications where equipment design does not accommodate bearing assemblies. For high-volume use or heavy loads, bearing-mounted wheels (CA 327-A) are recommended.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of the CA 327-A-F?
A: Friction wheels typically wear faster than bearing wheels due to increased friction. Replace when tread becomes visibly flat, torn, or when rolling resistance increases noticeably.
