Across
- 2. complete assembly of fastening, raceway ball bearings, washers, kingpin, and legs
- 3. a caster that can move forward or backward, and can rotate to change directions.
- 6. Interior structure of the wheel
- 9. Swivel assembly is held together by ball bearings, securing top plate and legs together through integrated raceways.
- 11. A reinforced area around the wheel bore. In some cases, this provides a surface for brake engagement.
- 13. perpendicular distance between the vertical centerlines of the kingpin and the axel of a swivel caster
- 15. Race Two rows of ball bearings move independently through two levels of ball races
- 18. Locks are accessories which will engage with the swivel mechanism, preventing swivel rotation.
- 19. Bearings small steel balls upon which fork and fastening swivel
- 20. Plate A horizontal plate for attaching a caster to equipment; spreads the load over a larger area, and often requires a large flat service for attachment.
- 21. single piece of metal is formed in a press.
- 24. Height the vertical distance from the top of the caster mounting plate to the bottom of the wheel
Down
- 1. a caster that cannot rotate to change directions; capable of straight-line movement
- 2. A housing with tracks or grooves in which ball bearings reside
- 3. Race A single row of ball bearings in the raceway
- 4. a caster with an added accessory to stop one or more types of movement.
- 5. A set of legs is attached to a yoke base/ball cup
- 7. Radius The horizontal distance from the centerline of the caster kingpin to the outer edge of the wheel
- 8. part of the caster which contacts the floor surface, and rolls when a unit is put into motion.
- 10. Rivet formed with orbital forming tool, compacting and spreading material out, providing a strong bond
- 12. center-most part of the wheel, hollow for the insertion of an axle or bearing.
- 14. A threaded nut and bolt – or staked component – that holds the swivel assembly together
- 16. Two parts extruding from the yoke by which the wheel(s) is attached
- 17. width of the wheel tread cross section, measured at the base of the tread rather than at the point of floor contact (also known as tread width)
- 22. Area of the wheel which contacts the floor; determine the best type for an application by surface, noise level, shock absorptions and chemical contact requirements.
- 23. (also: Horn, Yoke, Frame) – portion of a caster which attaches the wheel to the: swivel sections and fastening on a swivel caster; or, the fastening on a rigid caster
