Transfer units
As part of our expansive collection of standard machine parts, we present a host of Elesa transfer units.
Our range features a variety of products made using a combination of traditional elements, and the latest advancements in material technology, such as:
- steel
- stainless steel
- technopolymer
Ball transfer units
Featuring an omnidirectional load-bearing spherical ball mounted inside a restraining fixture, these transfer units are available in either ESD conductive technopolymer or steel. Their special design means that they are particularly suitable for applications on transfer and conveyor lines or end of production lines. They facilitate both linear and rotary movements, even of heavy loads.
The steel units facilitate the handling in every direction of loads applied on flat surfaces.
Alternatively, our technopolymer version utilises modern technology to present a unit that is corrosion-resistant and capable of frequent cleaning. What’s more, the self-lubricating structure ensures maximum cleanliness as it does not require lubrication with oils and greases.
Roller transfer units
Our UTR roller units are particularly suitable for applications on transfer and conveyor lines or end of production lines. The roller’s central body which is free to rotate with respect to the external body, facilitating both linear and rotary movements.
The version made from soft technopolymer is suitable for handling loads with particularly delicate surfaces, such as glass and ceramic. Being corrosion-resistant, these elements can withstand frequent cleaning so are ideal for high-maintenance environments.
Spring rings
These components allow a quick and easy assembly and removal of ball units GN509, GN509.1, UTB, and UTR.
Choosing the correct transfer units is vital to ensure the weight and size of a load can be transported successfully. To learn the maximum distance between transfer units on a flat surface, divide by 2.5 the smallest load sizes intended for transport. Using this geometry principle will provide the guarantee that a load will always be supported by at least three ball units. This is imperative to prevent tipping due to empty spaces.
As far as weight is concerned, since the load will be supported on at least three points, each individual element will have to bear a load corresponding to the total weight divided by three.
