A Ball Transfer Unit (BTU) is a clever little device that makes moving heavy or awkward loads feel like a breeze. It’s essentially a housing with a large ball bearing that sits atop smaller bearings, allowing it to rotate freely in any direction. Applications: Ball transfer units are widely used in: • Conveyor systems for smooth multidirectional movement • Assembly lines where items need to be rotated or repositioned • Air cargo handling for transferring luggage or freight • Packaging and machining equipment to shift materials with minimal effort Key Features • Multi-directional movement: The main ball can move in any direction, making it ideal for complex handling tasks. • Mounting options: Surface-mounted, recessed, or spring-loaded depending on the application. • Material choices: Stainless steel, carbon steel, nylon — each suited for different load capacities and environments. • Load capacity: Ranges from light-duty (e.g., 50 kg) to heavy-duty (e.g., 400 kg per unit).
