50mm (2") Dinette Chair Casters

These 50mm (2 in) dinette chair casters fit kitchen and dining chairs that use a 7/16 x 7/8 in grip-ring stem. Casters in this collection range from about 75 to 90 lb per caster. Set packs are labeled about 360 to 376 lb per set. Soft rubber or polyurethane (poly or urethane) protects hardwood and tile under a dining set in homes, schools, restaurants, and food service. Hard nylon rolls easier when the chairs also sit on carpet. Measure the socket before you buy. Many cheap online packs use a 5/16 stem that will not seat in a 7/16 grip-ring socket. Soft polyurethane or TPR is the better pick when crumbs and grit stay on the floor. Choose a soft tread when the chairs stay on hard floors most of the day. Capacities below are per caster unless a listing says set. Carpet grip-ring aisle: 7/16 grip ring stem casters for carpet. Broader seating: chair casters.

Dining chair caster questions

What casters for kitchen chairs on hardwood?

Use soft rubber, TPR, or polyurethane 2 in casters on 7/16 grip ring stems. Nylon twin wheels are better when the chairs mostly stay on carpet.

How much weight can a set hold?

About 75 to 90 lb per caster. A set of 4 at 90 lb each is 360 lb total if the load is even. Keep spare capacity for people shifting in the chair.
