A Central Locking caster for hospital bed is part of a system-level function. Pedal geometry, linkage travel and each caster actuator must change mode consistently.

Linked control

Mode consistency matters across the complete equipment.

A central command must translate through the linkage and every selected caster actuator. The product references below are verified single- and double-wheel Central Locking caster for hospital bed categories; the H76 manual-lock caster is deliberately kept out of this section.

Operating states

Describe the required equipment behavior before choosing the mechanism.

01
Free swivel
Wheel rotation and swivel remain available for maneuvering.
02
Directional control
Swivel orientation is restrained while wheel rotation remains available.
03
Total lock
The intended control state restrains wheel rotation and swivel movement.

The two photographs show verified HAION Central Locking caster for hospital bed product categories. Internal mechanisms and available modes must be confirmed on the selected product page.

ENGINEERING BOUNDARY

Available modes, actuator travel, pedal geometry and validation limits must be confirmed for the selected model and complete equipment.

comparison

Directional Lock vs Total Lock

Directional locking controls caster swivel orientation, while total locking typically restrains both wheel rotation and swivel movement.
