Threaded Stem Casters

COMPACT MOUNT • MECHANICAL RETENTION • OEM USE

Threaded stem casters are specified where plate mounting is not practical and a compact, mechanically retained connection is required. These casters thread directly into tapped holes, inserts, or equipment legs and are secured with a nut for positive retention.

Commonly used on carts, fixtures, mobile equipment, and OEM assemblies, threaded stem casters offer secure alignment, serviceability, and optional height adjustment.

Typical Configuration Envelope

Threaded stem casters with 3/8 and 1/2-inch stems.

  • Common Stem Sizes: 3/8" and 1/2"
  • Wheel Diameters: 3"–5"
  • Load Capacity: Up to 350 lbs per caster

  • Uses: Industrial · Institutional · Medical · Laboratory
Selection tip: Always verify stem diameter, thread pitch, usable thread length, and load per caster before ordering.

Selection Guidance

When to specify a threaded stem caster
  • Limited mounting space
  • Frames with threaded inserts
  • Strong mechanical retention needed
  • Occasional height adjustment
Threaded stem vs grip ring stem
Threaded stems lock into place mechanically, while grip ring stems rely on tube friction and tolerance fit.
Common applications
  • Food service carts
  • Medical & laboratory equipment
  • Industrial mobile workstations
  • Office furniture & storage units
