Metal Caster Wheel for Robot

Metal Caster Wheel for Robot

A metal caster wheel for a robot is a durable and essential component designed to support smooth and stable movement across various surfaces. Typically made from high-strength materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, these wheels offer excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to wear, corrosion, and impact.

The caster wheel features a swivel mechanism that allows it to rotate 360 degrees, enabling agile navigation and directional changes with minimal friction. This makes it ideal for robotic applications that require high maneuverability in confined or complex environments.

Additionally, the wheel may include precision ball bearings to enhance rotation efficiency and reduce noise during operation. Metal caster wheels are often used in mobile robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and robotic platforms where reliability and longevity are critical.

A caster wheel could be used in our two chassis: 3 wheel chassis (for line follower bots) and a 5-wheel chassis (for heavy-duty bots or could be used to build line follower bots), both with front-wheel caster wheel mounts. This caster wheel has multiple holes or perforations over the circumference that could be used to mount it over the chassis, through screws or nuts and bolts

This is a metal ball caster, a metal ball can load a max of 20kg. The total height of this ball caster is 20mm. You can also adjust the height by adding the spacers. The mount hole’s diameter is 4 mm.
