Chair Casters

These chair casters replace worn office, conference, and dinette chair stems. Casters in this collection range from about 75 to 150 lb per caster. Most use a 7/16 in grip ring stem that clicks into the chair leg socket. Twin-wheel nylon styles suit carpet. Soft polyurethane (poly or urethane), TPR, and rubber treads are the usual pick on hard floors when you want less noise and fewer scuffs. Common sizes are 50 mm and 60 mm twin wheels, plus 2 and 3 in single-wheel swivels. Many listings ship as singles, sets of 4, or sets of 5 so you can refresh a full chair base at once. Confirm the stem diameter and that you need a grip ring before you order. Soft tread helps when hard floors have chips or grit under the chair. Capacities below are per caster unless a listing says set. Other stem mounts for carts and fixtures: stem casters. Soft tread wheels alone: rubber wheels.

Product titles and fields [S1].

Floor first

Carpet: hard nylon twin wheels roll well and do not sink in.
Hardwood, vinyl and tile: polyurethane, rollerblade style or rubber wheels are softer, quieter and less likely to scratch.
Chair that must stay put: see self-braking chair casters, or the side lock versions of the Shepherd 50 mm twin wheel.

Measuring the stem

Pull one caster straight out of the chair base. A grip ring stem is a smooth pin with a split ring near the top. Most office chairs take a 7/16 x 7/8 in stem; measure the diameter and the length from the top of the caster to the end of the pin to confirm. A threaded stem needs a different caster.

Polyurethane, rollerblade style or rubber wheels. Hard nylon is better on carpet.

How many casters does a chair need?

Office chairs usually have five. Dining and stool bases often have four.

How much weight do chair casters hold?
