Description

Please check your caster specifications prior to order.

Friction ring stem is compatible with most - but not all - chairs and stools.

11 mm (1/3") diameter;
19mm (3/4") long.

(a.k.a., toe brake caster)

A toe-brake completely locks the caster wheels to prevent chair movement. In the unlocked position the casters roll easily. Often used for disabled people, for example, a care-giver can lock the wheels when the user gets in and out of the chair; or a teacher can lock the wheels to keep a special-needs student from "scooting around" during instructional periods. It's usually only necessary to lock 2 or 3 wheels to effectively stop a chair from moving.

Available with hard tread for carpeted floors or soft tread for hardwood and tile floors. Also known as toe-brake casters.

Important! Not recommended in situations where the user must navigate around the work area while seated. When you scoot around in your chair it's too easy to unintentionally bump the toe-brake and engage the wheel lock.

Price is for one (1) caster. Order a quantity of five (5) casters for a typical 5-star chair base.

Specifications

  • Caster body is made of high impact modified polyamide 6.
  • Large 60 mm (2.36") wheel-diameter rolls easier than the smaller casters sold on most office chairs.
  • Sturdy 135 lb. load capacity per caster.
  • Non-marking and non-abrasive.

Use and Fit

Please check your caster specifications prior to order.

Friction ring stem is compatible with most - but not all - chairs and stools.

11 mm (1/3") diameter;
19mm (3/4") long.

Compatibility

  • Universal 11 mm (1/3") diameter x 19 mm (3/4") long mounting stem. Fits most, but not all, office chairs

Installation

  1. Turn the chair on its side.
  2. If you have strong hands, you can remove castors by pulling. Otherwise you may need a lever, for example, a chisel or a screwdriver which you place between the castor and the chair base. If the castor stem remains caught in the base, grip the stem with pliers and pull it out. You may need to tap the pliers with a hammer until the stem loosens.
  3. Push the new castor into place.

Maintenance

    Sticky casters can usually be remedied with a thorough cleaning to remove accumulations of hair and debris in the caster wheels. If after cleaning the casters still do not turn easily, they should be replaced.
