Ready to crush downtime while protecting your most precious cargo?
Hamilton is proud to introduce our new aerospace 3-series shock absorbing casters. Targeted for mobilizing critical aerospace applications, these casters provide outstanding vibration and shock absorption, reduce noise levels and go easy on floors. They also extend caster, wheel and bearing life, too.
What’s the secret sauce? Two things, actually.
First, the new casters use our latest Spinfinity™ maintenance-free kingpinless platform, which boasts extra thick forgings and swivel technology for superior durability over the life of the casters. The top plate and inner raceway are one forged steel piece, providing unmatched strength for shock conditions. Raceways are CNC-machined and then hardened to a uniform depth. Together, both processes assure a smoothly swiveling caster under extreme loads. Game on for the industry’s best three-year product warranty.
Second, unibody spring housing provides up to 200% greater spring travel (see below for specifics) and substantially wider operating capacity range, as compared to our standard line.
Hamilton’s 3-series covers the most popular top plate sizes, with five resilient tread wheel choices across six different diameters:
- AE Workhorse: 4 x 5 mounting plate (2” wide wheels)
- AE Heavy Service: 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 (2” wide wheels),
Both Workhorse & Heavy Service provide up to 66% greater spring travel and a wider operating capacity range than standard line
- AE ForgeMaster: 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 (3” wide wheels), up to 200% greater spring travel and a wider operating capacity range than standard line
These casters can be easily modified to meet many custom spec. When ordering, keep in mind that spring-loaded casters have minimum capacity requirements for the spring action to work properly. You should never overload a spring-loaded caster because it will vaporize the shock-absorbing benefits.
When you’re ready to spring-load your productivity, our engineers will be ready to meet all your special applications.
