Zero Swivel Lead

1 Like 399 Views

The Rigid-Swivel Caster

In the world of industrial mobility, one size rarely fits all. The demand for precision-engineered solutions has never been greater, and when off-the-shelf casters fall short, innovation steps in. Recently, an aerospace manufacturer needed a caster that could navigate tight spaces with absolute control, ensuring the seamless transport of high-value components. Traditional swivel casters lacked control, while rigid casters limited maneuverability—resulting in inefficiencies and misalignment. A solution was required that delivered perfectly controlled movement along fixed tracks without compromising load capacity or durability. That’s where the Zero-Swivel Lead Casters excels—engineered for precision, built for performance.

The Advantage of Zero Swivel Lead

This unique design merges the maneuverability of a swivel caster with the alignment of a rigid caster, making it essential for industries that demand precision and controlled movement. Zero swivel lead casters are primarily engineered for sharp turns, increased maneuverability, and greater stability. These unique casters permit perfect 90º motion in any direction and add capacity because the head is always directly positioned over the wheel.

The design and production of this caster is made possible in Algood’s fully integrated manufacturing facility. Every component—from the robust kingpinless head to the precision-engineered v-groove wheels—is meticulously crafted to exceed industry standards. Our in-house manufacturing capability enables us to create custom solutions tailored to the unique requirements of customers and their engineering teams, across a range of industries.

Sectional/Cut-Through

Unlike standard rigid casters, this custom Typhoon™ Caster is welded 90 degrees to the kingpinless head, allowing it to function as a swivel without a traditional swivel lead. This configuration enables precise 90-degree movement while maintaining structural integrity and load capacity. Paired with a cast iron v-groove wheel, it glides effortlessly on inverted angle iron tracks, delivering continuous, high-performance operation in demanding environments.

Casters that Keep it Level

0 Likes 469 Views

Precision equipment must often be moved from space to space but be perfectly level when stationary. Likewise, furniture may have to be moved to areas with uneven floors. In both instances and others like them, our LL Series Levelling Casters are the perfect solution.

With a capacity of 880 lbs, this die-cast aluminum caster is strong enough to accommodate heavy equipment and has the maneuverability for lighter machinery and furniture. It is designed to allow easy movement of equipment or furniture. It provides the capability to adjust the height and stabilize the item on uneven surfaces, ensuring it is perfectly level and stationary. Once the equipment is in place, an adjustment knob in the back brings down a foot or pad, lifting the nylon wheel off the ground to prevent rolling. The foot can be raised until the unit is level.

The LL series comes with nylon wheels in your choice of four diameters and tread widths. A range of plate choices is also available. With an attractive powder-coated ivory finish, these casters are ideal for a wide range of applications, including testing and packing machines, weaving machinery, workbenches, office machines, office furniture, vending machines, printing presses, numbering equipment, computer racks, and computer equipment.

To learn more about levelling casters and whether they are the best solution for your requirements, speak to your local Algood representative or contact a member of our customer service team.

Innovation: Kingpinless, Stainless, Hex – Now That's Innovation

Kingpinless + Threaded Stem + Hex Head – Now, that’s innovation!

0 Likes 557 Views

There are over two million caster configurations in our catalogue because of our proven ability to innovate by modifying existing designs. With our fully integrated manufacturing facility and knowledgeable and creative design/engineering team, we make small changes that achieve big results. In this e-series, we look at our successes in creating caster configurations to meet customers’ needs.

This custom caster configuration stands out because it incorporates not one but two unique modifications.

Our customer, a leader in the development of technology solutions, contacted us with the requirement for a high-capacity caster that could be easily installed on specialized equipment. They specified a kingpinless caster to accommodate heavy equipment while maintaining long time durability. In addition, they needed a threaded stem on this 2,000 lb. heavy-duty kingpinless caster, and if that wasn’t enough, they wanted a hex head at the top of the stem.

Our design and engineering team rose to the challenge. We started with a Twister™ kingpinless head. The custom-made threaded stem was CNC machined in our manufacturing facility and then tack welded to the head. We worked very closely with the customer’s engineering staff. Before we released the product, we had to ensure the caster would be fastened securely and correctly to maintain the safety of equipment and employees.

Because the hex head allows the stem to be torqued into position, it takes installation from minutes to seconds. The stem can be screwed down quickly and allows equipment to be accurately levelled.

The caster pictured above has a stem that is 1″ in diameter and 6” long. While we stock 4” stems, we can meet specific length requirements and have produced stems as long as 12-14”. Stems are available threaded or plain, in steel or stainless steel and can be equipped with cotter pin locks or grip rings.

This custom-made caster is a product of our ingenuity and commitment to meeting our customers’ requirements. It’s just one example of what’s possible in our fully integrated manufacturing facility. To learn more about this caster or how we can meet your unique customer needs, contact your local Algood representative or a member of our customer service team.

Together, these two raceways act like a tapered bearing, allowing more lateral movement and taking on harsher loads. This superior design ensures that the Cyclone’s performance is unmatched in the industry.

The TwinTrack head features a 6” upper raceway with 3/4” diameter steel balls on top of a 3-13/16″ lower raceway with 1/2” diameter balls.

The Cyclone Series is available in 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 16” and 18” diameters with tread widths of 4” and 5”. It is double-fillet welded and has a standard corrosion-resistant black finish. Other colours are available as special orders. The Cyclone is available with a range of brakes, including the PolyCam and 4PSL brake. Options include spring-loaded and dual-wheel configurations.

Even better, this heavyweight is manufactured in our fully integrated facility in Toronto. That means you get outstanding lead times, delivery dates you can depend on and North American quality backed by our 3-Year No-Excuse Warranty.
