Hospital bed caster wheels are equip with central locking brakes for the easy of handling, maneuvering and positioning the hospital bed. The general set up of wheels under a hospital- or care bed consists of :1 caster wheel which can brake the wheel and swivel rotation as well as only a brake on the swivel rotation (directional lock) so the direction of the swivel rotation is fixed and the bed,3 caster Directional locking brakes----Central locking caster wheels
For setting of straight ahead motion, the use of a directional locking brake integrated in the fixing pin is recommended.
The mechanism allows a central pedal to select the following modes of operation:
1: Motion straight ahead (only when equipped with directional locking brake mode)
2: Changes of direction: free mobility of all castors
3: Full locking of all four castors
For fitting the wheel to the bed we have to take you through the ## following easy steps to determine the right types connector.
Step 1. Fixing pins angle movement.
We offer two types both with a different angle for the total lock and the directional lock movement: the standard fixing pin has a 41° & 52° one with a 30°
Standard-cam (41° and 52°) 30°-cam
Step 2. Dimension of fixing pins
Both types have 4 tapped fixing holes and are suiteble for: switching shaft variants A/B, switching shaft in line or across direction of travel
For the "long pin" with insertion measurement Ø 28mm additional snap-on adapter sleeves for different tube measurements are available.
Standard insertion measurement Ø 28mm Standard insertion measurement Ø 32mm
Step 3. Type of switching shaft
Currently most hospital bed caster wheels are equip er with an hexagonal cam hole.
Step 4. Size of the threaded hole
M8 y = 19 mm
M6 y = 7 mm
y = Distance from the tube seat to the middle of the threaded hole
x = Distance from the tube seat to middle of the switching bar
Step 5. Direction of foot pedal
Foot pedal along direction of travel Foot pedal across the direction of travel
