Office Chair Casters

Office chair casters come in a variety of types, with prices varying based on material, size, and functionality. Common product prices range from 1.36 yuan to 14.5 yuan, with some special-feature models being more expensive.

1. Classification by Material and Size

1. Zinc Alloy Casters
   Zinc alloy material is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, suitable for long-term use. For example, 2-inch zinc alloy casters (direct from the Tefeier factory) are priced at 5.7 yuan, and cross-border 1.5/2-inch zinc alloy casters (with brakes) are priced at 3.14 yuan. These casters are typically used in mid-to-high-end office chairs, balancing load-bearing capacity and aesthetics.

2. PVC/Plastic Casters
   PVC material is cost-effective and suitable for lightweight office chairs or carpeted environments. For example, reinforced solid-version swivel chair fixed casters (PVC material) are priced at 1.71 yuan, and cross-border Amazon 2-inch universal wheels (spring-loaded sliders) are priced at 1.45 yuan. These casters offer good noise reduction but have relatively weaker load-bearing capacity.

3. Custom Metal Casters
   Some products support customization of material and size. For example, custom carpet wheels made of zinc alloy for swivel chairs are priced at 14.5 yuan, and Wow custom wear-resistant universal wheels, 1.5 inches are priced at 3.8 yuan. Custom models can meet special requirements, such as high load-bearing capacity or specific colors.

2. Classification by Function

1. Brake Locking Function
   Casters with brakes can fix the chair's position, suitable for scenarios requiring stability (such as meetings or drawing). For example, cross-border 1.5/2-inch zinc alloy casters (with brakes) are priced at 3.14 yuan, and some custom models also support braking functionality.

2. Gravity Wheels
   Gravity wheels automatically lock under the weight of the human body and unlock when standing up, balancing mobility and stability needs. These casters are usually more expensive, and prices should be confirmed with the merchant based on the specific model.

3. Fixed Foot Pads
   Fixed foot pads (such as reinforced solid-version swivel chair fixed casters) are suitable for scenarios where no movement is required. They are priced lower (1.71 yuan) but lack flexibility.

3. Purchase Recommendations

1. Choose material based on usage scenario: For hard floors (such as tiles or wooden floors), PVC or nylon casters can be selected. For carpeted environments, larger-sized or spherical casters are recommended to reduce resistance.
2. Pay attention to load-bearing capacity: Heavy-duty office chairs should choose metal materials or thickened designs to avoid deformation.
3. Prioritize functional requirements: If frequent chair fixation is needed, prioritize models with brakes or gravity wheels.
4. Match budget: For general office scenarios, universal models priced between 1.45 yuan and 5.7 yuan can be chosen. Custom or special-feature models may double in price.

Tip: Some merchants offer bulk purchase discounts. Before buying, consult customer service to confirm prices and after-sales policies.
