Kuljetinpallo

Kuljetinpallo, also known as a ball transfer unit, is a mechanical component used in material handling systems to support and move items. It consists of a spherical ball housed within a socket or housing. The ball is typically made of steel, stainless steel, nylon, or polyurethane and can rotate freely in all directions. This omnidirectional movement allows for smooth and effortless transfer of goods in various directions.

Ball transfer units are commonly found on conveyor belts, workbenches, and in manufacturing or logistics environments. They are designed to handle loads ranging from light to heavy, depending on their construction and size. Their primary function is to reduce friction, enabling easy repositioning and steering of objects. This makes them ideal for applications where items need to be moved manually or automatically, such as in airports for baggage handling, in factories for assembly lines, or in retail for stock movement.

Installation of kuljetinpallot is generally straightforward, often involving screwing or bolting the housing to a surface. Their simple design contributes to low maintenance requirements. Variations exist, including different sizes, load capacities, and sealing options to protect against dust and debris. The use of kuljetinpallot significantly enhances the efficiency and flexibility of material flow within a workspace, minimizing manual effort and potential damage to goods.
