Brake Office Chair
Information about brake office chairs mainly includes caster types and prices, special designs, and production-related content.
Caster Types and Prices: Brake office chairs can be equipped with various types of casters with brakes. For example, a 50mm caster with a brake for 2-inch executive chair casters, made of PU silent material, costs ยฅ2.5; a 3-inch nylon caster with a brake, featuring universal functionality, costs ยฅ3.3; a carefully selected 2-inch screw-type European and American caster GJWB with a brake and universal wheel costs ยฅ1.44; a snap-ring caster for executive computer office chairs, silent TPE universal wheel with a brake, costs ยฅ4.0. These casters differ in size, material, and price, allowing users to choose based on their actual needs and budget.
Special Design: The lightweight caster dual-brake mechanism is an important design feature of brake office chairs. It employs a dual-locking mechanism that simultaneously locks the rolling and rotational degrees of freedom of the wheels, providing higher safety and stability for the office chair. This design is particularly suitable for office environments requiring precise positioning, such as hardwood floors or scenarios using standing desks. Its core is a linkage mechanism. When the brake pedal is pressed, the cam mechanism simultaneously acts on the friction surface on the outer edge of the wheel and the positioning teeth of the steering bracket, achieving dual locking. High-quality dual-brake casters typically use cold-rolled steel bases and nylon-coated brake pads and undergo rigorous durability testing. When selecting, users should pay attention to the anti-slip texture design of the brake pedal, with some high-end models featuring visual red indicator rings. However, the dual-brake mechanism is not suitable for all types of office chairs. For ergonomic chairs with synchronous tilt mechanisms, excessive braking torque may cause a jarring sensation when reclining backward. Therefore, it is recommended for straight chairs at workstations or conference chairs, while single-brake or universal wheels are more suitable for leisure discussion chairs that require frequent movement. High-quality dual-brake lightweight casters should withstand over 100,000 repeated pedal presses with braking force decay not exceeding 15%. Choosing polyurethane wheel surfaces for the wheel surface material can protect the floor and reduce noise.
Production-Related: In the production process of brake office chair casters, there are specialized office chair brake caster assembly machines that can complete the assembly and oiling of spring brake casters in one machine, improving production efficiency.
