Ball Transfer Unit performs in severe operating conditions.
January 26, 2007 -
Designed for quick mounting on warehouse floors or other surfaces for ground floor movement of cargo and equipment, Hi-Tech ball transfer units enable heavy loads to be moved with minimal effort and friction. Multi-directional, double-sealed ball transfers incorporate steel/stainless steel load balls/bearings along with top cover seal and inner knife-edge scraper seal to exclude debris. Depending on type, 25.4 mm load balls can handle up to 705 lb/unit.

Hi-Tech Ball Transfer Units Double-Sealed for Maximum Protection from Debris
New Hi-Tech ball transfer units available from SKF® Linear Motion & Precision Technologies incorporate double seals to exclude debris and promote reliable performance even in severe operating conditions. They have been engineered for quick and easy mounting on warehouse floors or other surfaces for efficient "ground floor" movement of cargo and equipment.
Hi-Tech ball transfer units consist of a large load-bearing ball that sits upon small balls encapsulated in a hemispherical cup. Their design creates a multi-directional, material-handling system that enables heavy loads to be moved smoothly along with minimal effort and friction. Ball transfers can serve as durable, rugged, and practical alternatives to wheel casters.
A top cover seal in Hi-Tech ball transfer units removes larger particles and an inner knife-edge scraper seal skims liquid, paste, fine dust, and other contaminants off the large ball and expels the debris through side vents. A dirt exit hole can further be specified.
Hi-Tech ball transfer units integrate steel or stainless steel load balls and bearings, offer high impact resistance, and can withstand severe organic solvents, petroleum, and oil. Their 25.4mm load balls can handle up to 705 lbs. per unit, depending on type.
Custom ball transfer units can be developed to satisfy particular application requirements.
