Functional Characteristics

In terms of functional characteristics, some office chair caster wheels have special functions. The chair legs of anti-static chairs usually use conductive casters or specially made anti-static foot cups, such as those made of black PVC or rubber. When in contact with anti-static floors, they can form a reliable ground connection, effectively preventing the generation and accumulation of static electricity and ensuring safety during use. Some high-end models of chair legs also use metal materials like aluminum alloy, which have better conductivity and further enhance the anti-static effect. In addition, some office chair caster wheels focus on silent design, using special materials and structures to reduce the noise generated during rotation, providing users with a quieter and more comfortable use environment.

Disassembly and Replacement

The disassembly and replacement methods of office chair caster wheels vary according to their types. For stem-mounted wheels, they can be directly pulled out. If you don't have enough strength, you can use pliers to hold the stem and then use a hammer to tap it to loosen it before pulling it out. For screw-mounted wheels, it is relatively simple. Just unscrew the screws with a handle to disassemble them. When installing new caster wheels, align the forked-stem wheels with the holes and press them in to complete the installation. During the disassembly and replacement process, pay attention to the operating force to avoid damaging other parts of the office chair.
