  2. Caster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster

    A swivel caster. A caster (or castor) is an undriven wheel that is designed to be attached to the bottom of a larger object (the "vehicle") to enable that object to be moved. Casters are used in numerous applications, including shopping carts, office chairs, toy wagons, hospital beds, and material handling equipment. High capacity, heavy duty ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_transfer_unit

    However, casters recognise a trail, meaning that the wheels had to align before directional change could be achieved. Ball transfer units can also be used in a non-inverted ball down position as a type of caster, however this use is restricted by load-bearing limitations and the type of floor.

  4. Caster angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

    Caster angle and trail both influence the steering, albeit in different ways: caster tends to add damping, while trail adds "feel" and returnability. The caster wheel on shopping carts are an extreme case – the system is undamped but stable, as the wheel oscillates around the "correct" path. The construction has relatively high trail, but no ...

  5. Ball bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_bearing

    Preloading of a pair of bearings in a wheel assembly of an inline skate. There are several common designs of ball bearing, each offering various performance trade-offs. They can be made from many different materials, including stainless steel, chrome steel, and ceramic (silicon nitride, Si 3 N 4). A hybrid ball bearing is a bearing with ceramic ...

  6. Bearing (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(mechanical)

    A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.

  7. Wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel

    An early wheel made of a solid piece of wood. A wheel is a rotating component (typically circular in shape) that is intended to turn on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating ...
