Stems
Here you'll find our entire range of stems for attaching swivel castors to your furniture.
What are Scratch no More stems used for?
A stem connects a swivel castor to a furniture leg. One end of the stem is pressed into the castor, while the other end is inserted into the socket sleeve or insert of the furniture leg. There are different types of pins available. We offer grip ring stems, threaded stems, and a stem with plate.
Stem with grip ring
Swivel castors are always attached with a stem. The most common method is a grip ring stem. One end of the stem is placed in the wheel, while the other end, the grip ring side, is pressed into the chair leg.
Threaded stem
A threaded stem has threads on the end that goes into the chair. This works similarly to the grip ring stem, but now you screw the threaded stem into the chair leg in stead of pressing it into the chair leg. If the chair leg doesn't have threads, you can use an insert with a threaded opening.
Stem with plate
If socket sleeves and inserts cannot be used, you can use a stem with plate. The stem with plate is screwed to the surface, and the castor clicks onto it. This system works well, provided all the swivel castors are mounted perpendicular to the floor. Otherwise, the wheels will not roll properly.
Which stem size fits Scratch no More castors?
All our wheels have a hole size of 10mm, and all our stems are 10mm at the part that fits into the wheel. This ensures they always match, which is why we recommend ordering both the wheel and the stem from us. We also pre-install the stems in the wheels, so you only need to press or screw the stem into the chair.
What should I look out for when buying stems?
Always make sure to accurately measure the diameter of the current stem (the part that was in the chair). Use a calliper, as this is the most precise method. If it’s off by 1 millimetre, it won’t fit. If you have any questions about installing castors, measuring stems, or any other questions, feel free to contact us – we’re happy to help!
