Light Red 1.5 Inch Caster Wheels PVC 1.5 Inch Furniture Casters
Features and Functional Purpose
This compact caster is designed specifically for lightweight furniture that requires smooth, directional movement without swivel action. Its key features and purposes are:
| Feature | Description | Functional Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5-Inch (38mm) Wheel Size | Compact diameter of 38mm with a small footprint. | Provides a low-profile solution for furniture with limited ground clearance, maintaining aesthetic proportions while allowing easy movement over smooth indoor surfaces. |
| Light Red PVC Material | Wheel made from light red Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). | PVC offers good durability and resistance to wear. The light red color provides a subtle accent that can complement furniture designs while hiding日常 dirt and scuffs. |
| Double Ball Bearings | Incorporates precision ball bearings in the wheel hub. | Ensures ultra-smooth and quiet rolling. Reduces the effort required to move furniture and provides consistent, friction-free rotation even under load. |
| Fix System (Rigid/Rigid) | Fixed/rigid mounting system without swivel capability (as opposed to a swivel caster). | Provides straight-line stability: The wheel only moves forward and backward, preventing sideways drift. Ideal for furniture that should only move in one direction, such as drawer slides or sofa legs. |
| Furniture-Optimized Design | Engineered for lighter loads and indoor floor protection. | Ensures the caster does not scratch or dent hardwood, tile, or laminate floors while providing reliable performance for household and office furniture. |
