What are ball transfer units and how do they work?
- Ball transfer units enable multidirectional movement in material handling systems. They feature a ball-bearing mounted in a housing, allowing objects to move easily in any direction with minimal friction. When pressure is applied, the ball rotates within the housing to ensure smooth movement.
How do I select the right ball transfer unit for my application?
- When selecting ball transfer units, consider factors such as load capacity, ball size, mounting type, material construction (e.g., steel, stainless steel, nylon), environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, corrosive substances), and required installation configuration (e.g., recessed, surface-mounted, stud-mounted).
What industries use ball transfer units?
- Many industries use ball transfer units, including manufacturing, distribution, packaging, aerospace, automotive, food processing, retail, and more. Any industry that requires the smooth movement of heavy goods can benefit from the use of ball transfer units.
What are the benefits of using ball transfer units?
