Caster wheel AWTools model AW23315, black rubber tread, 160 mm diameter

The AWTools caster wheel model AW23315 is a swivel wheel with a 160 mm diameter and a black rubber tread designed for indoor furniture, trolleys and light equipment. The wheel combines a resilient rubber rolling surface with a swivel mounting to allow smooth directional changes, vibration damping and reduced marking on hard floors. This caster is intended for applications where quiet operation, floor protection and reliable rolling performance are required.

Advantages

The black rubber tread provides effective shock absorption and reduces transmission of vibration to the mounted equipment. The 160 mm diameter offers lower rolling resistance and easier movement over small obstacles compared with smaller wheels. The swivel design enables simple directional changes while maintaining stability, and the rubber surface helps protect sensitive floor finishes from abrasion and scuff marks.

Suitable for

• Indoor furniture such as cabinets, workbenches and medical furniture
• Service trolleys, utility carts and mobile workstations
• Light equipment and machinery that require floor protection and quiet operation

Key specifications

• Wheel diameter: 160 mm
• Tread material: black rubber
• Wheel type: swivel caster
• Intended use: indoor flooring

How to use

Install the caster in accordance with the mounting interface on the furniture or equipment, ensuring fasteners are suitable for the mounting plate or stem used. After installation, inspect rotation and swivel movement to confirm the wheel turns freely and the swivel bearing rotates without obstruction. Use the caster on clean, level indoor surfaces and avoid prolonged exposure to sharp objects or chemicals that could damage the rubber tread. Periodically check fasteners and wheel condition, and replace the caster if the tread shows significant wear or the swivel mechanism becomes stiff.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use these rubber-tread casters on hard indoor floors such as wood, tile or vinyl; avoid rough outdoor surfaces. Match wheel load capacity to the combined weight of the equipment and expected dynamic loads, and ensure all mounted casters are the same diameter for stable rolling and correct height alignment.
