Versatile Ball Transfer Units for Heavy-Duty Applications

The Hudson Bearings PBT 1-1/2 Series is a high-performance ball transfer unit designed for heavy-duty material handling and precision positioning. Engineered for durability and versatility, this series is ideal for demanding industrial environments, offering smooth multi-directional movement, a robust construction, and reliable performance for tasks requiring accuracy and stability. Whether used in front of shears, press brakes, or custom applications, the PBT 1-1/2 Series provides the perfect combination of strength and efficiency.


Key Features of the PBT 1-1/2 Series

1. High-Performance Ball Transfer Units

The PBT 1-1/2 Series is built to handle loads up to 250 lbs with ease. Its 1-1/2” main ball rotates smoothly on 3/16” support balls, ensuring low-torque, multi-directional movement. This precise and reliable operation makes it perfect for applications requiring controlled positioning and material handling.

2. Welded Construction

Each ball transfer unit is welded to a standard 2” carbon steel pipe coupling, providing a stable and durable platform for positioning. This design ensures that the unit remains secure during heavy usage, making it suitable for industrial environments.

3. Durable Materials and Options

This series offers multiple material configurations to meet specific application needs:

  • PBT 1-1/2 CS:
    • Ball Material: Carbon Steel
    • Housing Material: Carbon Steel
    • Load Capacity: 250 lbs
    • Best suited for general-purpose material handling where durability is required.
  • NPBT 1-1/2 CS:
    • Ball Material: Nylon
    • Housing Material: Carbon Steel
    • Load Capacity: 250 lbs
    • Ideal for handling delicate materials or noise-sensitive environments.
  • PBT 1-1/2 CS/SS:
    • Ball Material: Stainless Steel
    • Housing Material: Carbon Steel
    • Load Capacity: 250 lbs
    • Provides enhanced corrosion resistance for applications in moist or chemically exposed environments.

4. Hardened and Plated Ball Support Cup

The ball support cup is machined from solid steel, hardened, and plated for superior wear resistance and strength. This ensures consistent performance and extends the lifespan of the unit, even in high-demand conditions.

5. Protective Cover

Each unit features a protective cover designed to minimize torque and shield internal components from debris and contaminants. This added layer of protection ensures reliable operation and reduces maintenance requirements.
