Product Details
About This Caster - PTW50507BK-B
Reach for this 50mm Source II swivel when a small threaded leg needs an economical nylon wheel that also locks where the cart parks.
The 1-inch stem threads into a 5/16-18 insert and snugs with a nut, a positive mount on a light leg, and a tread-lock brake presses a shoe on the wheel to stop it rolling while the swivel stays free. The Source II is an all-nylon build, body and wheel both, which keeps it economical, and the white nylon wheel resists moisture and chemicals and holds to 250°F. The plain bearing keeps the roll simple.
Ideal applications
- Small threaded legs that must park without creeping
- Light instrument and utility carts held still on a budget
- Threaded-leg corners braked on a nylon wheel to 250°F
If the threaded corner only rolls, the plain PTW50507BK drops the brake.
Pairs with: plain threaded-stem Source II swivels on the rolling legs, these braked units opposite.
Wrong fit? Need a flat plate or a round socket? See the top-plate tread-lock PTW50101BK-B and the grip-ring PTW50223BK.
Also in this family: the top-plate PTW50101BK, or the full Shepherd collection.

What our customers say
Excellent service! Outstanding quality castors.
Great customer service and casters!
Great service, friendly staff and quality product.
Excellent all inclusive selection. Was able to use their product search to easily and accurately purchase two pieces of Seperate but related pieces of hardware. Product shipped and tracked per UPS and arrived in a timely manner while packaged and in good condition. Product quality is excellent especially given price was a very reasonable.
Purchased Blickle casters from W.T. Hight Company. Rated 5/5.
Long story short, we purchased an under-counter freezer that was too tall and needed the casters taken off. However, I had no idea how to do that so a quick Google led me to W.T. Hight and the customer representative, Lemuga, was super patient and walked me through the process! Although we didn't purchase anything this time, their customer service was wonderful and we will be keeping this company on our radar for all things casters!
I had an amazing experience with W.T. Hight Company! I purchased casters for my equipment, and the quality was outstanding — sturdy, reliable, and exactly what I needed. The customer service was top-notch; they were incredibly patient and walked me through the entire process to ensure I got the right fit. Highly recommended.
