This spare part is a Double Ended Control Pedal for the right hand side central locking castors.

Central locking castors are used on hospital beds where one pedal needs to activate multiple brakes and secure equipment quickly and reliably. Our Central locking castors feature precision wheel bearings coupled with excellent design and performance.

Central Locking Bed Requirements
The following outlines the requirements needed to ensure that your Fallshaw centre locking castors function correctly when initially fitted and also continue to function for the life of the product. If you are unable to meet one or more of these requirements please speak to our technical team to see if a special product can be made to suit your application.

Mounting heights

It is critical that the load of the bed sits on the mounting washer. This reduces movement of the product over time and reduces the stress placed on the attachment bolts and holes. If the load of the bed doesn’t sit on the washer, with time the mounting bolt holes will elongate and the castor will push up into the leg and cease to function. It is therefore important to control the height from the bottom of the tube to the attachment holes, and also to the hex bar hole (see drawing for dimension and tolerances). These dimensions are to suit the Australian and European Standard (EN12531:1999). If you are unable meet these dimensions please speak to our sales team.

Hex Bar Clearance
It is also critical that the hex bar for actuating the castor is free to move. Ensure that the frame does not interfere with the hex bar. This involves either drilling large holes for ample clearance (suggest 18mm diameter) or, if smaller holes are required. Ensure that all the holes are aligned and the frame is strong enough that it will not twist when fully loaded. The hex bar should only contact the mechanism (two castors, pedals and the transmission lever), it should be able to rotate freely without rubbing or bending. If these holes are too small, or misaligned, the rubbing and bending of the hex bar will make operation difficult, and will stop the castors from functioning.
