Omnitrack Movement Solutions Spotlight – OC50 Omnicaster Ball Caster Unit

This month, take a look at our amazing OC50 Omnicaster Ball Caster Unit!

The innovative internal mechanism provides a far reduced 'trail' than offered by traditional caster wheels - the near-instantaneous change of direction of the OC50 is a vast improvement for precision movement. This Omnicaster unit is rated at 60 Kg [132 Lbs] each in load bearing capacity so can be used in conjunction with others under a trolley to easily move heavy items which would otherwise require a straight-wheeled sack truck or arduous manual lifting to manoeuvre them.

The ball inside the unit is made from a hard-wearing phenolic resin which helps protect delicate surfaces from marks & the relatively large ball projection is ideal for carpeted floors to ensure the ball rides over the pile or small obstacles efficiently. The peripheral drain channels allow easy inspection of the internal mechanism & permit dirt and debris to be ejected from the unit when conveying heavy items in the 'ball up' position.

A great solution for domestic and indoor applications, the OC50 Omnicaster Ball Caster is also ideal for the glass or sheet material handling industries, warehouse trolley applications or in the building of robots which require a quality of precision movement not possible with traditional caster wheels.
