# Industrial Specification: Furniture Caster

## 1. Technical Definition
Swiveling wheel assembly for furniture mobility

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **50-150 N vertical load per caster, 0-0.5 m/s rolling speed, -10°C to 60°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Ball bearing seizure at 180 N static load, raceway plastic deformation at 200 N, swivel joint galling at 10⁶ cycles under 100 N radial load**, Mechanism: **Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1.5 GPa at ball-raceway interface causes subsurface fatigue spalling; adhesive wear at swivel pin-bushing interface due to boundary lubrication failure below 0.1 μm oil film thickness**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Abrasive particle ingress &gt;15 μm diameter into ball bearing clearance | 8 | Raceway brinelling and torque increase &gt;0.8 N·m | Labyrinth seal with 0.05 mm radial clearance and IP54 rating |
| Repeated 90° directional changes under &gt;120 N load at &lt;1 second intervals | 8 | Swivel post fatigue fracture at thread root stress concentration factor Kt=3.2 | Cold-forged M8 swivel post with rolled threads and 600 MPa yield strength |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the load capacity of this furniture caster?
**A**: The load capacity varies by model but typically ranges from 50kg to 150kg per caster, depending on wheel material and construction.

### Q: Does this caster include a brake mechanism?
**A**: Yes, this furniture caster features an integrated brake mechanism that locks the wheel in place when engaged, providing stability for stationary furniture.

### Q: What types of flooring are suitable for polyurethane wheel casters?
**A**: Polyurethane wheels are ideal for hard flooring surfaces like hardwood, tile, laminate, and concrete, as they provide smooth rolling while protecting floors from scratches and marks.
