Office Chair Hollow Wheels

Admin October 10, 2026

Office chair hollow wheels come in various types, with prices varying based on specifications, materials, and functions. The common price range is from 9 yuan to 17 yuan, with some specially designed products potentially being more expensive.

Common Types and Price Ranges

According to market information, the specifications of office chair hollow wheels are primarily distinguished by size (such as 2 inches, 2.5 inches, 60mm, 65mm) and function (such as silent, braking, and omnidirectional).

  • Basic Hollow Wheels: Represented by 2.5-inch hollow omnidirectional casters, prices mostly range from 9 yuan to 13.5 yuan. For example, a factory-direct 2.5-inch hollow caster (without braking function) costs 9 yuan; a silent version of the same size with braking function costs about 13.5 yuan. These products usually feature a hollow threaded rod insert design, suitable for ordinary office chairs, emphasizing cost-effectiveness.
  • Function-Upgraded Models: Some products increase their prices through material optimization or function expansion. For example, a 2-inch threaded rod electroplated hollow caster has increased durability due to the electroplating process, with the price rising to 15 yuan; a caster with a hollow insert PU office chair wheel, using PU material (more wear-resistant and silent), costs 17 yuan.
  • Specially Designed Models: Such as bearing hollow wheels, which have a bearing structure in the middle and are wrapped with soft PU on the outside, providing more stable support and smoother rotation. They come in two sizes, 60mm and 65mm, are heavier, have better texture, and support one-key locking function. Their prices are usually higher than ordinary models, but specific prices depend on the brand and sales channel.

Impact of Material and Function on Price

The price differences in hollow wheels are mainly determined by material and function:

  • Material: Ordinary plastic or iron casters have lower costs, with prices mostly below 10 yuan; PU material, due to its wear-resistant and silent characteristics, increases the price by 20%-50%; bearing hollow models, using metal bearings and soft PU wrapping, have higher costs.
  • Function: Additional functions such as braking, silent design, and 360-degree omnidirectional rotation enhance product value. For example, a 2.5-inch hollow wheel with braking is about 30% more expensive than a non-braking model.

Purchase Recommendations

For cost-effectiveness, choose a basic 2.5-inch hollow caster (9 yuan-13 yuan); if silent or braking functions are needed, consider an upgraded model priced above 13 yuan; for scenarios requiring higher texture or long-term load-bearing, consider a bearing hollow model, but ensure the size (60mm/65mm) matches the office chair.
