Names of Office Chair Casters

Common names for office chair casters include swivel casters for office chairs, office chair casters, furniture casters, universal casters, TPU casters, and TPR casters. Here is a detailed explanation of these names:

Swivel casters for office chairs: These are the most common type of office chair casters, characterized by wheels that can rotate 360 degrees freely, allowing the office chair to move flexibly in all directions. These casters are typically made of metal or plastic, offering high wear resistance and load-bearing capacity, suitable for various office environments.

Office chair casters: This is a broad term that directly indicates the purpose of the casters—to be installed on office chairs. The design of office chair casters usually emphasizes stability and quietness to ensure that excessive noise or shaking does not occur during movement, affecting the office experience.

Furniture casters: Although this name does not specifically refer to office chairs, as office chairs are a type of furniture, their casters can naturally be classified as furniture casters. Furniture casters are generally versatile and can be installed on various pieces of furniture, such as sofas and coffee tables, to enable movement and adjustment of the furniture.

Universal casters: This is a more general term not limited to office chair casters. Universal casters are characterized by their ability to rotate in all directions, allowing the objects they are installed on to move flexibly. On office chairs, the application of universal casters enables the chairs to easily navigate through the office, improving work efficiency.

TPU casters and TPR casters: These two types of casters are named after their materials. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) and TPR (thermoplastic rubber) are materials with excellent elasticity and wear resistance, resulting in casters with good shock absorption and durability. These casters are typically used on office chairs that require high mobility stability and comfort.
