Ball Transfer Unit

These are heavy-duty ball transfer units (also called ball casters), a mechanical component designed for low-friction movement of loads across flat surfaces.

Function: Distributes the weight of a load evenly, allowing smooth, low-effort sliding or positioning of materials, equipment, or pallets. They eliminate the need for fixed-direction wheels and reduce surface wear.

Structure: A hardened steel ball housed in a stamped steel or stainless steel cup, with a flanged base for secure mounting via screws. The ball rotates freely in 360° to enable multi-directional movement.

Performance: Typically rated for load capacities from 50 kg to 1,000 kg per unit, with corrosion-resistant materials suitable for industrial environments.

Application: Widely used in conveyor systems, assembly lines, material handling equipment, and workbenches to facilitate the movement of heavy or bulky items in manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing.
