Transporting sensitive machinery and instruments often requires stable, vibration-free mobility to prevent component damage or calibration issues. While pneumatic-tired casters isolate such equipment superbly, the hassle and cost of maintaining air pressure makes them impractical. This is where semi-pneumatic casters bridge the gap beautifully.
Featuring solid polyurethane tires surrounding an internal web of voids, semi-pneumatic casters provide excellent impact absorption and vibration dampening almost rivaling that of air-filled tires. However, without the need for innertubes and air pressure inflation, semi-pneumatics deliver these benefits in a much more durable and maintenance-free package.
- Reduced Vibration Protection. The internal webbed void structure compresses upon surface irregularities, absorbing vibration and shock loads smoothly. G-forces and impacts dissipate within the wheel as foam fills the voids. This prevents harsh forces from reaching sensitive equipment. Even electric lift trucks and pallet jacks won’t disturb delicate payloads.
- Application Flexibility. With load capacities spanning light duty up to very heavy industrial equipment, semi-pneumatic casters satisfy almost any application where vibration dampening is necessary. They support everything from patient monitors, optics machinery and electronics to industrial washing equipment. Phenolic options even perform well in higher temperature environments.
- Maximized Uptime. By safeguarding instrumentation and processes from cumulative impacts that degrade calibration and functionality over time, unscheduled downtime is minimized. Semi-pneumatic casters maintain critical production uptime by preserving sensitive components.
