Case study of Blickle casters that withstand immersion in extreme cold and tropical saltwater!
We would like to introduce a case where a company engaged in the design, manufacturing, and sales of wave gliders has implemented Blickle's casters.
The company faced a problem where the casters installed on the frame for an unmanned navigation platform were breaking prematurely.
They attached the stainless steel swivel casters "LEX-POBS 125XKA-FI" and "LEX-POBS 160XKA-FI" to the prototype and conducted tests under harsh conditions for using the casters. In all tests, the casters demonstrated excellent performance and received approval for continuous production.
[Challenges]
- Difficulty in finding casters that can be used in environments with Arctic temperatures, tropical sun, and frequent immersion in saltwater.
- Casters break quickly due to high wear on the deck of the ship.
