Spring-loaded ball transfer unit for high impact loads

Our ball transfer units can be used to move fragile or heavy goods easily and in all directions without much effort. To this end, igus uses different design concepts. In addition to injection-moulded housings with housing pads and ball beds, igus also offers a version with a sliding insert specially designed for higher loads and impact loads. To further counteract high impact loads, igus has now developed a spring-mounted ball transfer unit that distinguishes itself from other ball transfer units primarily with its vibration-dampening properties.

In addition to resiliently absorbing the impact load, the spring-loaded ball transfer unit ensures even load distribution during goods transport with an uneven running surface. Thanks to the new design concept, the goods are guided gently, avoiding downtime costs and extending maintenance intervals. The ball transfer units are pre-loaded and then spring into the housing until the disc spring end force is reached if the load is greater than the pre-load force.
