Office Chair Wheel Accessories

Office chair wheel (caster) accessories come in a variety of types, with prices varying based on specifications and functions. Here are some common types and their characteristics:

1. Swivel Casters Swivel casters are the most common accessories for office chairs, supporting 360-degree rotation for flexible movement. Prices vary based on size and material:

• 1.4-inch load-bearing caster with snap-ring thread swivel wheel: Approximately 3.56 cm in diameter, featuring a snap-ring thread design for easy installation, priced at around ¥1.36.
• 1.5-inch wear-resistant caster swivel wheel: Approximately 3.81 cm in diameter, with stronger wear-resistant material, suitable for high-frequency use scenarios, priced at around ¥3.8.
• 2-inch insert-rod flat caster wheel: Approximately 5.08 cm in diameter, with an insert-rod design that fits specific chair legs, priced at around ¥3.1.
• 2-inch swivel wheel office chair caster: Approximately 5.08 cm in diameter, with high versatility, priced at around ¥1.45.
• Universal swivel chair wheel: Fits most office chairs, with an affordable price of around ¥1.24.

2. Casters with Locking Function These casters typically have a diameter of 60 mm (approximately 2.36 inches), with the core function of being fixed via a brake mechanism. When the brake is pressed, the wheel is locked, preventing the chair from sliding; unlocking restores movement, suitable for scenarios requiring temporary chair fixation, such as during meetings or writing.

3. Gravity Casters Gravity casters with a diameter of 60 mm are designed with an internal structure that increases lateral resistance when under force. Their characteristics include requiring slight effort to push or pull during movement, but producing extremely low noise, suitable for environments with high noise reduction requirements, such as libraries or late-night office scenarios.

4. Fixed Foot Pads Fixed foot pads are non-wheeled accessories that increase friction through rubber or plastic materials, securing the chair to the ground. These accessories are particularly suitable for scenarios involving the elderly, children, or those requiring a stable sitting posture, effectively preventing safety hazards caused by accidental chair sliding.

5. Other Accessories

• Office chair wheel fixer: Used for temporarily fixing wheels, priced at around ¥3.36.
• Anti-slip pads/computer chair wheel covers: Wrap around the wheels or chair legs to reduce wear and noise, with a price range of approximately ¥3.36-¥17.1.
• Bearing hollow wheels: Feature a hollow design to reduce weight, with an external soft PU material coating for smooth movement and a high-end feel, suitable for premium office chairs.

Purchase Recommendations:

• Choose functions based on usage scenarios, such as prioritizing swivel casters for flexible movement and gravity casters for noise reduction.
• Pay attention to the compatibility of wheel size with chair legs to avoid installation difficulties.
• Focus on material wear resistance and load-bearing capacity, recommending wear-resistant casters or bearing hollow wheels for high-frequency use scenarios.
