Ball Transfer Units are the ideal solution when the load must not just move back and forth, but must have 360\u00b0 freedom of movement in any direction.<\/p>\n
It is essentially a large sphere that \u201csits\u201d on top of many smaller spheres inside a shell, allowing for smooth rolling with minimal friction.<\/p>\n
Where are they necessary?
\nDue to their ability to change direction in the load instantaneously, we encounter them in very specific places:<\/p>\n
Sorting & Packing Tables: Where an employee must rotate a heavy box or push it from one aisle to another.<\/p>\n
Air Cargo Loading: The floors of cargo planes and terminals are filled with such units so that aluminum pallets (ULDs) can slide in any direction with a simple push.<\/p>\n
Machine Feeding: In presses or cutting machines, where the operator must accurately align heavy sheets of metal or wood.<\/p>\n
Types and Construction Materials
\nDepending on the work environment, we also choose the corresponding material:<\/p>\n
Steel Balls: The most durable for very heavy loads, but require lubrication and attention to rust.<\/p>\n
Stainless Steel: Essential in food or chemical industries where liquids and cleaning agents are present.<\/p>\n
Plastic\/Nylon Balls: Ideal for sensitive loads (e.g. glass, painted surfaces) to avoid scratches.<\/p>\n
Installation: There are units that only operate with the ball facing up (for tables) and others that can be installed \u201cupside down\u201d or sideways (e.g. as roller guides).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
