Ball transfers and ball transfer units provide instant change of direction in material handling applications. These ball transfer systems are ideal for omni-directional motion, including conveyors, cargo rolling decks, robotics and industrial caster applications.

Ball Transfers & Bearings Ball transfers consist of a large ball seated on a quantity of small balls contained in a hemispherical cup.The actual number of small balls depends on the size of the ball transfer unit. The large ball thus rotates freely in any direction allowing load movement with minimum of effort. Many caster applications can be solved with ball transfer units. • BT-1 Flange Mounted Ball Transfers • BT-1.5 Flange Mounted Bearing • FSBT • HDBT-1-3/16 • LPBT-1 • MBT-5/8 • PBT-1-1/2 • SBT-1 & DSBT-1 Ball Transfers • SBT-1.5 Stud Mounted Bearings • SMBT-5/8 Stud-Mounted Ball Transfer • SMBT-1 Ball Transfers |
