Ball Transfer Units make light work of shifting, rotating and directing unit loads. They have proven extremely valuable as integral parts of conveyor systems, feed devices, and machining and packaging equipment.
Applications
▶ General-purpose machines
▶ Feed tables for sheet-metal working machines
▶ Fixtures for press brakes
▶ Feed devices for machining centers
▶ Drilling machine tables and motor-driven supporting tables
▶ Assembly aids in the manufacture of large engines and motors
▶ Construction of special-purpose machines
▶ Aerospace industry
▶ Beverage and stone-processing industries
▶ Not suited for use under water
Conveyor systems
▶ Ball transfer tables, turntables and switches for sorting and distribution systems
▶ Crossover sections of continuous conveyors
▶ Baggage sorting systems at airports
▶ Transport of steel tubes and pipes
▶ Lifting platforms
• Spring-loaded.
Ball Transfer Units are supported on springs and mounted under preload in a housing.
