Product details

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 for 360-degree movement with minimal friction. 🛠️ What It’s Used For Ball transfer units are commonly found in: • Conveyor systems for material handling • Assembly lines where items need to be rotated or repositioned • Air cargo terminals for smooth luggage or freight movement • Machine tables to easily shift components during manufacturing ⚙️ Key Features • Omnidirectional movement: Items glide in any direction • Mounting options: Surface-mounted, recessed, or spring-loaded • Material choices: Stainless steel, carbon steel, plastic, or hybrid • Load capacity: Ranges from light-duty to heavy-duty (up to 8000 kg per unit in some models)
