23、ncludes stem and circlip, threaded stem and other fixing systems. 4.2 Castor type Castors are classified into four types: 4.2.1 Type H Castors with plain wheels are defined as type H, hard tread. The wheel shall be one colour over the entire surface. NOTE These castors are suitable for carpeted floo
24、rs. 4.2.2 Type W Castors with resilient tyred wheels are defined as type W, soft tread. This shall be of a clearly different colour to the wheel centre. NOTE These castors are suitable for hard stone, wooden or tiled floors or those featuring non-textiled covering. 4.2.3 Type C Castors which are ele
25、ctrically conductive. NOTE These castors shall have either type H or type W wheels. They may also conform to type U. 4.2.4 Type U Castors for swivel chairs with a built-in braking mechanism. NOTE 1 For certain applications castors for swivel chairs require a built-in braking mechanism, that is relea
26、sed when a person sits on the chair to which the castors are fitted, allowing ease of mobility in that position. This braking action is automatically re-applied as the person leaves the chair to prevent the chair rolling away unintentionally. NOTE 2 The decision regarding the type of castors to be f
27、itted to swivel chairs will be dependent on the chair design and the type of floors and covering in use. The castors shall have either type H or type W wheels. They may also conform to type C. NOTE 3 Castors with permanent braking systems are not acceptable. 4.3 Dimensions The Figures 1 and 2 show t
28、ypical castor designs; Table 1 shows the specified castor dimensions.
