työntövals

Työntövals is a Finnish term that translates to "push roller" or "pusher" in English. It refers to a type of industrial equipment used for moving objects, typically heavy loads, along a conveyor system or production line. These devices are often employed in manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing operations.

The primary function of a työntövals is to provide a pushing force. This is usually achieved through a motor-driven mechanism that extends a pushing arm or plate. When activated, this arm moves forward, propelling the object it contacts. The design of a työntövals can vary depending on the specific application, but common features include robust construction to handle significant weight, adjustable stroke length, and safety mechanisms to prevent damage or injury.

Työntövals are particularly useful in situations where items need to be precisely positioned or transferred between different stages of a process. They can be integrated into automated systems, controlled by sensors or programmable logic controllers. This allows for a high degree of accuracy and efficiency in material handling. Examples of their use include moving boxes onto pallets, directing products to different conveyor lines, or pushing items into storage locations. The term emphasizes the direct, linear motion used to move the load.
