3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break

The WHARSTM 3 Inch Threaded Stem Swivel Caster with Brake is a heavy-duty, easy-to-install mobility solution. It is designed for workbenches, tool carts, furniture, shelving units, and home appliances.

This 3-inch screw swivel caster features a precision-engineered threaded stem. It screws directly into existing leg inserts or pre-drilled holes. This provides a secure and stable mounting platform without complex tools or modifications.

Each 3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break is constructed from non-marring thermoplastic rubber. It rolls smoothly and quietly across hardwood, tile, concrete, and carpet without leaving marks or scuffs.

The 360-degree swivel head, equipped with precision ball bearings, responds immediately to directional changes. It offers exceptional maneuverability even in tight spaces.

A side-mounted brake pedal engages directly on the wheel. 3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break provides reliable stopping power to hold your equipment securely in place when stationary.

With a load capacity of 150 pounds per caster and 450 pounds per set, 3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break delivers professional-grade performance. The complete set includes four casters, mounting nuts, lock washers, and installation wrenches.

What Does 3/8″-16 x 1″ Mean and Why Is It Critical?

This specification defines the exact thread geometry of the stem. 3/8″ is the diameter of the threaded shaft. -16 indicates 16 threads per inch, which is coarse thread UNC standard.

1″ is the length of the threaded portion from the base of the wheel housing. You must measure your existing caster stem or the threaded socket in your equipment before purchasing.

This 3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break product is NOT compatible with metric M10 threads. These are dimensionally similar but have a different pitch and will not engage correctly.

How Does the Brake Function on This Caster?

Crucially, the brake on this caster is a wheel brake ONLY. It locks the rotation of the wheel, preventing the equipment from rolling.

However, it does NOT lock the swivel mechanism. The 3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break will still pivot 360 degrees even when the brake is engaged.

This is the correct configuration for workbenches and mobile carts. You need the equipment to stay in place but may still want to rotate it without releasing the brake.

If your application requires the caster to remain completely rigid in both axes, you require a Total Lock Caster with a dual-function brake.

What Surfaces Are These Casters Suitable For?

The thermoplastic rubber wheel is specifically formulated for multi-surface compatibility. Its soft, non-marking compound provides excellent traction and shock absorption.

3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break is gentle on finished floors. User reviews confirm these casters roll smoothly on polished concrete, epoxy-coated garage floors, hardwood, and laminate without vibration or noise.

One reviewer successfully mounted them on a 500lb commercial planer. They rolled easily and quietly on concrete.

The 3 inch screw swivel castor wheels-break also resist flat-spotting from prolonged stationary loading.

How Difficult Is Installation?

Installation is exceptionally straightforward. Each caster features an octagonal wave plate at the base of the stem.

This provides a gripping surface for a wrench. It allows you to tighten the caster securely into threaded sockets or through-hole applications using the included lock nuts.

The kit includes four casters, four lock nuts, four flat washers, and a wrench. Installation typically takes less than 10 minutes.

For metal furniture with pre-threaded inserts, simply screw the stem in by hand and snug it with the wrench. For wooden applications, drill a 3/8″ pilot hole and use the provided nut to secure the caster.

What Are the Verified Load Capacities and Limitations?

The single caster load rating is 150 lbs. The set of four total load rating is 450 lbs, assuming even weight distribution.

Ratings are for rolling loads. Static holding capacity with the brake engaged exceeds the rolling rating.

One reviewer successfully supported a 500lb commercial planer on four casters without issue. Another used them for a sheet of plywood with a generator.
