igus ball transfer units designed for use on conveyor tables transport delicate or heavy goods in multiple directions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made of the high-performance plastic xirodur B180, they can absorb loads of up to 500N.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stainless steel balls inside the roller allow smooth running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being dimensionally identical to metallic ball transfer units is where the similarity ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The xirodur B180 material is very abrasion-resistant, has a long service life and an electrically insulating effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, as with all igus parts, they are lubrication-free and maintenance-free, ensuring no lubricating grease can contaminate the goods being transported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The units can also be used in any installation position, whether horizontal, vertical or overhead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are currently available in three installation sizes and, depending on their size, withstand an axial load of 150 to 500N. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass balls are also available for metal-free and therefore non-magnetic applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
