Material science analysis of the MaxGear Heavy Duty Office Chair Wheels reveals a dual-bearing architecture utilized in both the swivel axis and the wheel axle. This configuration reduces the starting torque required for lateral movement, which minimizes lateral stress on the chair's gas lift cylinder over extended duty cycles. The load-bearing capacity is listed at a static aggregate of 650 lbs, distributed across a five-unit set.
Structural dimensions include a 7/16-inch x 7/8-inch universal stem and 304 stainless steel housing. The "rollerblade" style 3-inch wheels increase the chair's total stack height by 1 to 1.5 inches. Technical specifications confirm the use of soft polyurethane (PU) treads, which eliminates the requirement for protective floor mats on hardwood or laminate surfaces.
The high-clearance design provides debris resistance against hair and dust clogs, though the high-efficiency bearings may result in lateral drift on surfaces that are not perfectly level. Compatibility is restricted to standard 11mm sockets, excluding 10mm IKEA-proprietary systems.
The MaxGear heavy duty wheels are recommended as a height-increasing alternative for users who find their current seating position too low relative to their workstation.
Within the architectural framework of custom chair components, these wheels serve as high-load structural interfaces.
