1/4" x 5/8" Threaded Stem Casters

Stem: 1/4-20 x 5/8 in threadedWheel 50 mm (2 in) twin nylonCapacity: 75 lb eachHeight: 2-1/2 in
Shepherd Pacer hooded twin wheel casters with a small threaded stem for chairs, store fixtures, electronics and light furniture. Nylon wheels roll easily on carpet and rugs. On hardwood or tile, use a mat, since hard nylon can mark soft floors over time. Choose with or without a side brake, in FB, SC or WA finish.

Measuring the stem

A 1/4-20 stem is 1/4 in in diameter with 20 threads per inch. These stems are 5/8 in long. Thread the old caster out and check both numbers; a 5/16 or 3/8 in stem will not fit, and a longer stem may bottom out in a shallow insert [S1].

Floor fit

The twin nylon wheels share the load and swivel easily, which makes them a good match for carpet. Shepherd's own listing warns that the hard nylon can leave marks on hardwood or tile without a chair mat [S1].
