'Float-On' Specialty Ball Castors Promote Protection of Materials and Surfaces



Alwayse(TM) "Float-On" specialty ball castors available from SKF Motion Technologies (Bethlehem, PA, USA) can promote safe and easy handling of glass and other fragile or polished materials during or after production. These ball castors effectively create a "rolling surface" on a fixed table to enable movement of materials without risk of breaking or scratching during handling.

"Float-On" castors consist of rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, or nylon balls (black, red, or white) affixed to steel or stainless steel ball stems and socket fittings. The castors, offered as complete ready-to-install units, mount simply by inserting them into holes drilled in a suitable base plate. Once mounted, the castors can be adjusted to desired heights.

"Float-On" castors are designed to handle loads as heavy as 20kgs. and feature large ball diameters (35mm or 50mm, depending on type) for optimized surface protection of materials. Due to the position of the castor's inverted wheel and a cover over the socket bearing, they are ideal for use in dust-laden or otherwise contaminated working environments. The castors can be supplied in any combination of components and can be customized.
