Ball Transfers & Bearings
Ball transfers consist of a large ball seated on a quantity of small balls contained in a hemispherical cup.The actual number of small balls depends on the size of the ball transfer unit. The large ball thus rotates freely in any direction allowing load movement with minimum of effort. Many caster applications can be solved with ball transfer units.
