Polymer Ball Transfer Units
Sprint Drives offers the Polymer Ball Transfer Unit, designed for smooth, omnidirectional movement of medium-weight loads in conveyor systems, transfer tables, and junctions. These units are perfect for applications where items with delicate or finished surfaces—like trays, boxes, panels, or containers—need to move effortlessly in any direction without lifting or repositioning.
Each unit features a main polymer ball that glides over a bed of precision support balls, delivering true 360° movement with minimal effort. The polymer construction of the main ball ensures gentle handling of sensitive materials, reducing the risk of scratches or surface damage while maintaining excellent rolling performance.
These transfer units are built with robust polyamide housings and sealed designs to protect internal components from dust and light moisture, ensuring long-lasting, low-maintenance operation. Options with stainless steel support balls enhance durability in more demanding environments.
With load capacities up to 400 N, they are ideal for medium-duty handling requirements, offering reliable performance at conveyor speeds up to 0.3 m/s in temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +40 °C.
