Where it is used
Sheet, panel and tube handling often needs a low-friction point that presses from above or from the side. Using an inverted standard ball transfer unit for this is a common and short-lived mistake.
- Hold-down balls above sheet and panel conveyors
- Side guide rails on carton and tray lines
- Tube and profile feeding guides
- Overhead guides on transfer and turning stations
How to specify it
Confirm the orientation the model is built for before ordering — downward, side or universal — and check the retention method, since gravity is not holding the ball in place.
