These are two types of contacts widely used in electrical installations and circuits. Distinguishing the difference of these two types is very simple.

• A NO (normally open) type contact is one that does not let the current flow while the same or the device is in standby or standby mode. The most common type NO contact is eg house switches, which remain open (not closedCircuit) until the switch is pressed.
• The NC contacts (normally closed) are the opposite of the NO contact, they let the current pass while they are in standby or at rest to be actuated. An example would be a thermal protection relay of a motor, which remains closed while there is voltage.

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 ...
