Ball Tables We’ll design and build your custom solution. Just send us your application criteria. We look forward to working on your project. Ball Rails Construct a bespoke & flexible conveying plane by configuring ball transfer rails to your application. Ideal in live storage applications, the rails can be installed individually using optional fixing brackets or bolted together either with or without optional spacer tubes to form a ball transfer platform. 400 mm & 600 mm standard lengths for rapid integration within existing conveyor roller installations. Ball transfer units available with alternative material upgrade options. Ball transfer skates & accessories Ball transfer skates engage with cantilever supermarket shelving legs allowing entire (laden) aisles with each train section weighing up to 3000kg (6720lbs) to be moved quickly. Once the train of aisles has been moved, they can be securely locked using the parking brake/locking unit.

Pneumatic Ball Transfers allow air-driven positioning of the conveyed item & may be individually arranged for a flexible, modular conveying plane. PS25 Positioning Stops are pneumatically activated to stop & hold the position of the conveyed item. In low pressure systems, tubing length should be extended or altered using optional in-line connectors (TC4) as the tubing & fittings are not designed to be separated once assembled. Appropriate blanking plugs are automatically supplied with each order. Alternative ball materials & sizes available.

Light-duty ball transfer units are assembled from pressed sheet steel components, except for the LP series which are machine turned from an acetal solid bar. All light-duty ball transfer unit designs feature a hemispherical cup for the recirculation of the small supporting balls. This allows a smooth rotation of the protruding, load-bearing ball. All light-duty ball transfer units (except LP) feature a heat-treated support cup which is resistant to wear.

Our Medium Duty ball transfer units are machined from solid steel bar which is heat-treated to provide a hemispherical wear-resistant chamber within which the recirculating balls can support the protruding, load-bearing main ball. This robust, low-noise design is engineered for applications requiring conventional (ball ‘up’) orientation. Additional options for this range include impact-absorbing top cap options, and additional drain channels where required, making these transfer units the air cargo industry standard.

Innovative patented design incorporates a hardened and precise ground internal support component. The heavy duty design allows the internal recirculating balls to form an endless track/race to allow the full load to be applied at any angle of inclination. Compact design allows much higher load capacity than the comparable ‘cup & ball’ hemispherical chamber design used in both Omnitrack medium duty and light duty ranges.
