VAC would be the abbreviation of Volt Altern Current which would be translated Volts of alternating current. The difference between VDC is that its sinusoidal oscillation achieving a more efficient energy transmission.

The alternating current is the energy that we receive in our homes, it is generated in the power plants by means of alternators.

The intensity of this type of current varies with time, and changes direction 50 times throughsecond (50hz). The generated voltage changes in the form of sine wave so it is not constant.

1. Current by pulsations.
2. Direct current (DC).
3. Alternating current (AC).
4. Variable current.

Depending on the need for installation and type of base, trolley or chair, we can find various types of fixation. Among the most common we find:

A - Through hole: It has a hole in which a screw or stem is inserted. It is a very simple installation system. Ideal for wheels that should not support a lot of load.
B - Threaded stem: It has a threaded stem or nut, it is fixed to the surface with a nut. It is usually the most used fastening system.
C - Angular plate: They are usually less used fastening systems, they have lateral plates to fix on the base.
D - Plate: It has a rectangular or square plate on its surface, it includes 4 or more fastening holes to the base, it is one of the most common.
E - Smooth stem: The stem without thread is inserted into the female of the base, we can find it in the typical office chairs with wheels, TV furniture etc ...
