igus xirodur ball transfer units

Ball tables are used wherever sensitive or heavy loads are transported from A to B: items such as circuit boards, food, goods in airports, glass panes or goods in the sheet-metal-processing industry. By using ball transfer units in the conveyor tables, loads can be transferred quickly and easily in any direction. The latest ball transfer units from igus are made of high-performance polymers that ensure smooth transport even at high loads. For the advanced polymer-ball transfer units, igus uses its xirodur B180 material. All igus units are lubrication-free and maintenance-free, ensuring no lubricating grease can adhere to the goods. By using a plastic ball, the use of new rollers is particularly suitable when sensitive goods are to be transported. Another advantage is that the ball transfer units can be used in any installation position, whether horizontal, vertical or overhead, which now also extends the field of application to the furniture industry.

The optimised polymer-ball transfer units have a new housing interior, so they can now take up to five times more load than before. The ball transfer units are currently available in three installation sizes and, depending on their size, can withstand an axial load of 150 to 500 N. Due to their material, they are very abrasion-resistant, have a long service life and have an electrically insulating effect. The rollers are mounted by simply pressing into the housing.
