The present invention relates to a caster, and particularly, to a caster which more smoothly rotates when reversely rotating 180° and effectively supports a weight of an object disposed on the caster to smoothly rotate in reverse without any shaking. In order to achieve such objectives, the present invention provides a caster having a structure in which a central portion, a connecting part, and a lower body part are sequentially provided under a support plate formed in an upper end portion of the caster, and in particular, a rotating part is mounted between the connecting part and the central portion. In particular, six thrust ball bearings are mounted between the support plate, the central portion, the connecting part, the rotating part, and the lower body part so that the caster may rotate smoothly when the caster linearly moves and then changes a direction to rotate at a certain angle, or in particular, when reversely rotating 180° and then moving in a reverse direction. A rotating part is additionally added between the connecting part and the central portion, and six thrust ball bearings are mounted so that the caster can rotate more smoothly when reversely rotating 180°. As described above, when the caster changes a direction to rotate or reversely rotates 180°, in a case in which central axes between an upper pillar part and a lower pillar part, the thrust ball bearings, and a wheel are collinear with each other, the rotation is not performed properly, and the caster is overloaded. The present invention is directed to solving such problems. The rotating part is added between the connecting part and the central portion, the thrust ball bearing is additionally mounted between the connecting part and the rotating part, and the thrust ball bearing is additionally mounted between the rotating part and the central portion. As described above, the rotating part is additionally installed so that a state in which the central axes between the upper pillar part and the lower pillar part formed in the central portion, the thrust ball bearings, and the wheel, which are collinear with each other, can be easily changed, and thus, when the caster changes a direction or reversely rotates 180°, an overload is prevented. In addition, six thrust ball bearings are mounted in the caster to dispersedly support a weight from above the caster, and thus the durability of the thrust ball bearings can be improved.
