  • CasterDepot supports U of M’s solar team

    CasterDepot recently donated casters to the University of Michigan’s Solar Car Team with hopes that the car (named Infinium) would go on to win another championship.

    Before donating the casters, CasterDepot needed to learn more about the application. The Solar Team needed the casters for carts that would transport Infinium around the shop and during competitions. With more than 1 million dollars invested in Infinium, the casters should be reliable for travel (Infinium races nationally as well as internationally) and the casters also needed to reduce vibrations due to the precise design of the car.

    CasterDepot ended up supplying the carts with Colson Performa casters. These strong, reputable casters provide a quiet smooth ride, while also leaving the shop floor mark-free. At that time, Infinium weighed around 320 pounds, which is easily within range of the Performa’s 600 pound carrying capacity.

    U of M’s Solar Car Team is an entirely student-run organization that designs and builds solar electric vehicles. Since its establishment in 1990, the team has built 11 vehicles, won the American Solar Challenge 7 times, and placed 3rd in the World Solar Challenge 4 times. The team is recognized as the most successful team in North America.

    CasterDepot is proud to support the endeavors of our future generations. Infinium went on to place 3rd in the World Solar Challenge, and the casters still transport the car around the world to this day.
