8" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Cast Iron Wheel and Face Brake (FBB) - 170CA08201S01FBBL

About This Caster - 170CA08201S01FBBL

Set this 8-inch Empire 170 cast iron swivel with a combined face brake and swivel lock on the heaviest foundry or oven cart corner that has to steer, then lock down completely.

This is the total-lock version: a face brake stops the wheel and a swivel lock holds the swivel, so the heaviest loaded cart parks dead still. At 8 inches the large wheel clears the biggest obstacles while steering, and the cast iron wheel holds from -100 to 800°F where rubber and poly cannot go, with the trade that it is hard, noisy, and damages a soft floor. The kingpinless design carries shock without a central kingpin to fail. It runs on a roller bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 9-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -100 to 800°F.

Ideal applications

• 8-inch cast iron total-lock swivel parking the heaviest foundry cart dead still
• Face brake and swivel lock holding an 8-inch iron wheel at extreme heat
• Kingpinless metal swivel clearing the biggest obstacles then fully locking

If holding the wheel alone is enough, the 170CA08201S01FBB drops the swivel lock.

Pairs with: plain Empire 170 cast iron swivels on the rolling corners and this total-lock caster on a parking corner.
