The correct installation method directly affects the effectiveness and service life of the universal joint. It is necessary to choose the appropriate installation type according to the equipment structure and load-bearing requirements, and strictly follow the operating specifications. Flat installation is the most common method, suitable for scenarios where there is a flat installation surface at the bottom of the equipment. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the installation surface thickness is ≥ 8mm (heavy-duty equipment ≥ 12mm), and use matching high-strength screws (such as stainless steel screws, carbon steel screws) to tighten. The screw spacing is evenly distributed (usually 50-80mm), and the screw head needs to be completely embedded in the installation surface to avoid protrusion and uneven stress. Screw installation is suitable for situations where height adjustment is required or the installation surface is uneven. During installation, the length and thread specification of the screw should be measured first to ensure that it matches the threaded hole of the equipment base. After tightening, check whether the wheel body is perpendicular to the ground. If there is any tilt, adjust the height of the screw to avoid unilateral force on the wheel body. The plug-in installation is easy to operate and suitable for lightweight equipment. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the plug-in rod is tightly attached to the socket of the equipment base, and the pin is fully inserted and locked to prevent it from falling off during use. Regardless of the installation method, it is important to note that the installation position of the wheelset should be symmetrically distributed, with the center of gravity coinciding with the center of the wheelset to avoid uneven loading; After installation, it is necessary to test whether the wheel body rotates flexibly, whether the directional wheel travels in a straight line, whether the universal wheel turns smoothly, and whether there is no jamming or abnormal noise.

Common faults and troubleshooting solutions
During the use of universal wheels, it is easy to encounter problems such as rotational lag, increased noise, rapid wear on the wheel surface, and brake failure. Timely troubleshooting and resolution can prevent the expansion of the problem and ensure safe use.
The core misconceptions and correct methods of selection
Many users are prone to falling into the trap of "only looking at the price" and "ignoring the scenario" when choosing universal wheels. The correct selection should follow the logic of "setting requirements first, then selecting parameters" to avoid poor user experience or safety hazards caused by improper selection.
