5" Top Plate Swivel Caster with Cast Iron Wheel and Face Brake (FBB) - 170CA05201SFBBL

About This Caster - 170CA05201SFBBL

Set this 5-inch Empire 170 cast iron swivel with a combined face brake and swivel lock on a foundry or oven cart corner that clears thresholds, then locks down completely.

This is the total-lock version: a face brake stops the wheel and a swivel lock holds the swivel, so a loaded cart parks dead still. At 5 inches the larger wheel clears thresholds while steering, and the cast iron wheel holds from -100 to 800°F where rubber and poly cannot go, with the trade that it is hard, noisy, and damages a soft floor. It is built kingpinless with no central kingpin to fail, runs on a roller bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 6-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -100 to 800°F.

Ideal applications

• 5-inch cast iron total-lock swivel parking a foundry cart dead still
• Face brake and swivel lock holding a 5-inch iron wheel at extreme heat
• Kingpinless metal swivel clearing thresholds then fully locking

If holding the wheel alone is enough, the 170CA05201SFBC stops the wheel without the swivel lock.

Pairs with: plain Empire 170 cast iron swivels on the rolling corners and this total-lock caster on a parking corner.

Wrong fit? Only need a wheel brake or a swivel lock? See the FBC-brake 170CA05201SFBC and the swivel-lock 170CA05201SL.
