What’s a stainless steel castor?
Stainless steel castors are of particularly high quality and withstand permanent loading even when exposed to severe external influences. TENTE stainless-steel castors are made of 1.4301 steel, also known as V2A steel. This steel consists of 18% chromium, about 8-10% nickel, and iron.
Castors made of 1.4301 stainless steel have very high resistance to various influences, such as water and humidity as well as various acids, fats and strong cleaning agents. Thanks to their corrosion resistance, the castors have a very long service life and can be used within a wide temperature range. They can be used at temperatures almost down to absolute zero. In addition, the castors are washable, which is very important in some industries where hygiene is paramount.
Uses for stainless steel castors
Thanks to the properties of stainless steel, these castors are ideal for particularly heavy-duty applications. These include all applications where strict hygiene regulations apply. They are therefore used primarily in medical technology as well as in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
For situations where extreme temperatures are encountered, a combination of stainless steel castors with heat-resistant components is possible. These can be used in bakeries or cold stores, for example. These castors remain durable and stable even under permanent loading.
