Caster Wheel – Medium Duty – M12, 76.2mm (3″)

$27.83 Inc. GST

This braked caster wheel assembly attaches to 4040 aluminium extrusions and foot brackets to provide omnidirectional mobility and lockable positioning. Featuring a 75mm diameter, 32mm width, a manual foot brake, and an M12 threaded interface, its primary function is to enable floor transit and secure anchoring for configurations up to 75kg. Typical applications include mobile workbenches, CNC tables, production desks, material storage racks, and aquarium tables requiring grounding stability and multi-directional transport.

Description

Technical Overview

This industrial Caster Wheel – Medium Duty integrates into modular framing configurations to provide structural mobility and controlled stationary positioning. Designed to thread directly into an aluminum 4040 foot mounting bracket, this component allows you to introduce omnidirectional transit capabilities across a variety of hardware setups. Additionally, the unit incorporates an integrated step-down braking mechanism. Consequently, you can quickly lock the rotating wheel to establish a completely static orientation when the assembly must remain fixed. Furthermore, the installation profile relies on standard metric interfaces, pairing cleanly with 4040 V-Slot structural profile lines and low-profile fasteners to maintain clean clearance margins. Because of this robust structural configuration, the hardware sustains balanced load distributions under continuous operation. Therefore, technical users deploy this component to make heavy industrial layouts mobile without compromising grounding rigidity.

Applications

Engineers incorporate this locking caster assembly into industrial workbenches, automated CNC machine tables, production desks, and heavy-duty structural enclosures. Crucially, these high-load transport systems rely on low-center-of-gravity floor tracking configurations to maintain perfect stability during manufacturing operations or tool calibration. Technicians primarily deploy the hardware at the grounding load points of 4040 V-Slot or T-Slot aluminium profiles. For example, they install these units onto aquarium support tables, rolling material storage racks, or specialized custom furniture legs using four M5x25mm low-profile screws. By doing so, they facilitate fast manual relocation of equipment layouts across manufacturing environments. Thus, builders achieve absolute mobility control while simplifying routine structural reconfigurations.

Maker Store Tips & Tricks

- Fully depress the mechanical foot brake lever before assembling structural profiles above the caster wheels to keep the grounding base stationary during construction.
- Verify that the 4040 foot mounting bracket is aligned perfectly square with the extrusion face before driving the low-profile screws into place to protect the threaded channel alignment.
- Periodically check the torque on the mounting hardware when using casters underneath vibrating assemblies like automated CNC tables or high-speed automation machinery.
