Do you need your loads to be moved smoothly, precisely, and in any direction? Ball transfer units are the ideal solution. Ball transfer units are also known as ball castors, ball transfer, transport ball, transfer ball, ball conveyors, and many other nicknames. Ball transfer units are a multidirectional, material handling system, manufactured from high-quality materials. Ball transfer is the build of a large load-bearing ball that sits upon many small balls encapsulated in a hemispherical cup. Ball castor design greatly reduces friction and allows heavy loads to be moved with a minimum of effort.
Ball transfer units are often used in assembly line applications, especially high-volume capital equipment. They help to move objects quickly and easily between machines, or from one station to another.

Product Construction
Ball transfer construction
The universal ball has a steel housing with an integrated hardened ball seat. This is the raceway for a large number of small bearing balls. As the load ball rotates, the bearing balls roll on the seat.
Advantages of ball transfers
- The design of the ball transfers ensures precise rolling in all mounting positions.
- Ball transfer ensures full load/carrying capacity
- Low maintenance costs for ball transfers
- Almost all ball transfer units in the mold are sealed against fouling using an impregnated felt seal.
- Ball transfers are quick and cost-effective to install
