Ball transfer units are mechanical components used in industrial applications in order to move heavy loads.
Ball transfer units consist of a spherical castor in a housing. The housing is called a spherical seat and allows for 360° turns of the balls. The balls allow for loads to be moved in different directions with minimum frictional resistance.
Ball castors make it possible to easily move heavy objects due to low friction between the surface of the object and the pad. Friction is minimised by ball transfer units. It does so by distributing the load onto the balls.
These operating parts are mainly used in mechanical engineering and material handling. These are primarily used in conveyor systems, transport equipment, industrial roller conveyors, assembly systems, conveyor belts and any other application in which loads have to be moved.
Ball transfer units, for example, are crucial for the smooth operation of conveyor systems and roller conveyors. They allow for precise and efficient movement of goods in factories, warehouses and dispatch centres. In industrial applications, ball transfer units are used in machines and devices to facilitate materials handling. They are used in assembly devices, handling equipment and production systems.
Ball transfer units are an essential part of many industrial as well as commercial applications requiring low-friction movement of loads.
Their versatility and efficiency make them indispensable components in a wide range of areas.
