5" Nylon Swivel Caster - 18NX05228S

About This Caster - 18NX05228S

Set this 5-inch ergonomic nylon swivel on a steering corner of a hot-area cart that clears thresholds while operators steer it all shift.

The sealed, maintenance-free precision swivel bearing significantly reduces the force to turn and steer, and at 5 inches the larger wheel clears thresholds while staying maneuverable. The black nylon wheel adds the heat and chemical resistance the polyurethane version lacks, holding up to 220°F, with the trade that a hard wheel gives no cushioning and can be hard on a soft floor. The zinc-plated frame resists corrosion. It steers 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 swivel clearing thresholds in heat
• Sealed precision swivel bearing turning a 220°F 5-inch wheel easily
