Conductive Caster Wheels

Caster Connection is your source for conductive caster wheels. We carry a wide range of conductive swivel casters and rigid casters that dissipate static electricity to protect delicate electronic equipment and eliminate electrostatic discharges. Our conductive casters are ideal for environments where electrostatic build up is an issue.

Why You Need Conductive Casters

As your workers push carts around your facility on casters, the carts generate static electricity. If this electricity has no way of dissipating, then your carts retain this static electricity. When this electricity eventually transfers from one object to another, from a cart to worker, or from a worker to a workbench, for example, this creates an electrostatic discharge.

This electrostatic discharge damages your valuable electrical components, such as chips. It also has the potential to ignite gases. Electrostatic discharge also affects your clean rooms and medical areas by causing dust particles in the air to cling to each other. This prevents the dust particles from entering filtration systems and being removed from the room.

Conductive caster wheels prevent this electrostatic discharge by conducting the static electricity out of the cart, through the wheels and into the conductive floor.

What Are Conductive Caster Wheels?

Conductive caster wheels, such as the Blickle 50mm Electrically-Conductive TPR Swivel Caster, are made from conductive material, that is, material that conducts electricity from the wheel into the floor. These wheels are manufactured from materials that have low resistance to electrical flow, such as neoprene rubber and thermoplastic rubber.

Conductive caster wheels have a surface resistance of >10³< 10⁵ Ohms. They offer the best protection against electrostatic discharge.

Advantages

Offer the highest protection against electrostatic discharge
Excellent shock absorption (soft ride)
Quiet ride

An alternative to conductive caster wheels is static dissipative caster wheels, such as the CC Apex ESD.
