定向(固定)腳輪

Rigid fixed caster with a steel fork and polyurethane wheel

定向腳輪不迴轉——推車走直線。在經典的兩萬向 + 兩定向配置中,萬向輪負責轉向,定向輪提供穩定與行進軌跡。

由於定向支架沒有迴轉軌道,同尺寸下承重更高、所需推力更低:重型推車常見一對萬向輪加一對定向輪的組合。

實務原則是:推車行程中直線占比越高,定向腳輪的回報越大。長走道、拖引列車與軌道導引推車是天然適用場景;需要頻繁轉彎的狹窄空間則需要萬向輪。

規格

  • 額定載重高於同尺寸萬向版本
  • 焊接定向支架,頂板或螺栓孔安裝
  • 與萬向系列相同的輪子選項
  • 全定向過於僵化時,可選方向鎖定萬向輪

表面處理

鍍鋅、粉體塗裝、不鏽鋼

測試

輪軸與支架對位逐批次檢驗

Selection factorRule of thumbEffect on performance
Load sizingTotal load ÷ 3 (not ÷ 4)On uneven floors only three wheels carry the cart
Wheel diameterBigger rolls easierLarger wheels cut push force and bridge gaps
Tread hardnessSofter = quieter, harder = easier rollingPick the softest tread that carries the load
Bearing choicePrecision ball for manual pushing, roller for heavy loadsBearings dominate rolling resistance at high load
Swivel vs rigid2 swivel + 2 rigid is the standard cart setupAll-swivel carts wander; all-rigid carts cannot steer
Floor conditionRough floors need bigger wheels and softer treadsSmall hard wheels on bad floors destroy both
