All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
The below capacity ranges indicate the working (dynamic) load that each caster will support. A safety factor should be included in your formula to determine your required load rating per caster.
W/(C-1)=R W is total weight needed to move. C is total number of casters required. R is ideal load rating, with safety factor built in. Divide the total load weight by one less caster than you will use to safely determine load rating.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.

Self-braking chair casters in two types: CasterHQ compression casters that lock under weight, and Shepherd PSD50223BK-U decompression casters that lock when the chair is empty. 2 in on 7/16 x 7/8 in grip ring stems.
| Style | When it locks | When it rolls | SKUs here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compression | Under weight (about 12 to 15 lb on the seat) | Chair empty | PSC50223BK-U single; PSC50223BK-U-SET set of 5 |
| Decompression | Chair empty | Someone sits | Shepherd PSD50223BK-U set of 5 |
Shepherd PDT self-braking series notes; Admin titles [S1][S2].
A compression self-braking caster locks when weight is applied (usually when someone sits) and rolls when the chair is empty.
A decompression model locks when the chair is empty and rolls when weight is applied. Use it when you want the empty chair to stay parked.
They fit chairs with a 7/16 x 7/8 in grip ring socket. Measure the stem diameter and length before ordering. They will not replace a threaded stem without a socket change.
