Ball transfer units handle heavy loads
Industrial component specialist Elesa has extended its portfolio with a high quality range of ball transfer units.
GN509 units are modular push-fit ball assemblies featuring a large centre load contact ball with a "nest" of smaller friction reducing balls in a hemispherical cup.
Application is generally in a matrix format which ensures that at least three ball units are in contact with the load at any time in both x and y axis - thus ensuring good stability and load carrying capacity at conveying speeds of up to 2m/s.
GN509 units are available in 12 to 60mm ball sizes with static load capacities up to 13kN.
Fitment is by simple drop in location and spring retainer rings are available to more easily facilitate removal. Request a free brochure from Elesa (UK) ...
