Ball transfer units are special components in materials handling technology that enable efficient and low-friction movement of loads. They consist of a ball mounted in a housing or ball capsule. This ball can rotate freely in all directions, which enables multidirectional movement.
Due to their low friction, ball transfer units allow goods to be transported smoothly on conveyor lines. They are often used in applications where flexibility and manoeuvrability are required, such as in roller conveyors, conveyor belts or turntables. Ball transfer units allow loads to be moved, turned and steered effortlessly, even with heavy weights.
