Carpin offers a wide variety of metal and die cast caster sockets that convert round tubes into receptacles that accept casters with friction ring stems. Common applications include furniture and display racks.
Our metal and die cast caster sockets come in standard configurations to fit 14-18 gauge steel tubes with 7/8″ to 2″ OD, accepting 11mm friction ring stems.
Our caster sockets are manufactured from high quality steel, with angled spring fingers that insert smoothly into the tube, but then bite into the tube’s ID to provide enhanced retention.
Shown below are some common configurations:
