5" Nylon Rigid Caster - 18NX05228R

About This Caster - 18NX05228R

Set this 5-inch ergonomic nylon rigid on a fixed corner of a hot-area cart that clears thresholds while operators move it all shift.

At 5 inches the larger wheel rolls over thresholds with less push effort, the heart of the 18 series, and the black nylon wheel adds the heat and chemical resistance the polyurethane version lacks, holding up to 220°F. The trade is that a hard wheel gives no cushioning and can be hard on a soft floor, so it suits sealed concrete. As a rigid caster it tracks straight on the fixed corners, and the zinc-plated frame resists corrosion. It runs on a precision ball bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 6-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -30 to 220°F.

Ideal applications

• 5-inch black nylon ergonomic rigid clearing thresholds in heat
• High-heat 220°F 5-inch wheel rolling with low push force
• Hard nylon rigid tracking straight at a 6-1/2 mount height

For a steering corner instead of a fixed one, the 18NX05228S adds the ergonomic swivel bearing.

Pairs with: the 5-inch nylon ergonomic swivel 18NX05228S on the steering corners and this rigid on the fixed corners.
