Ertalon castors with housing for ball bearings for BLO edger 

Ertalon castors with ball bearing housings on the wheelset of a flanging machine are components designed to facilitate the movement of the machine. These castors are often used in the wheel systems of flanging machines and other industrial equipment. The Ertalon material, which is a brand of polyamide or polyoxymethylene, is known for its low friction, wear resistance and durability.

Here are some of the main functions of these Ertalon castors:

1. Low friction: The Ertalon material offers a low coefficient of friction, which reduces resistance and allows the edger to move more smoothly.

2. Wear resistance: Ertalon castors are often chosen for their wear resistance, which helps to extend the useful life of the castor.

3. Durability: The mechanical properties of the Ertalon material, combined with the ball bearing housing, provide a robust and durable construction for castors.

When to change Ertalon castors with ball bearing housings depends on a number of factors:

1. Normal wear and tear: Like any moving component, castors can suffer normal wear and tear over time as a result of regular use of the flanging machine. Regular inspection may reveal signs of wear, such as rubbing noises, excessive vibration or difficulty moving.

2. Mechanical damage: Shocks, impacts or other mechanical damage can damage the castors, requiring replacement to keep the machine running smoothly.

3. Bearing failure: If the ball bearings inside the housing show signs of failure, such as rattling noises, it may be necessary to replace the castors.

4. Preventive maintenance: Some manufacturers may recommend periodic replacement of parts, including castors, as part of a preventive maintenance plan to ensure machine reliability.

It is essential to contact the Repex Floor manufacturer for specific recommendations on the maintenance and replacement of Ertalon castors. If any problems are detected, such as unusual noises or obvious signs of wear, it is advisable to have the machine inspected by a qualified technician. This professional will be able to assess the condition of the castors and recommend replacement if necessary to ensure that the edging machine operates correctly.
