Back Designs - Reverse Braking Chair Caster, 50 mm, soft

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., Occupied braking caster; Unloaded brake casters)

The opposite of Braking Casters. Reverse Braking Casters resist chair movement when weight is on the caster. Most often used for added safety on work stools (e.g., drafting chairs) that are higher than typical chairs.

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.
• 50 mm (1.96") wheel-diameter.
• Sturdy 135 lb. load capacity per caster.
Soft non-marking and non-abrasive tread is safe on hardwood and tile floors.

  Installation instructions

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.

1. Turn the chair on its side.
2. If you have strong hands, you can remove the 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.
