Omnitrack Movement Solutions Spotlight – 9640 Spring Loaded High Capacity Ball Unit

Ball Transfer Units are fantastic solutions when conveying heavy loads with minimum effort & maximum precision but in instances where the load fluctuates or the contact surface is uneven there is a risk that some ball transfers will be required to support more load than others & perhaps even become overloaded. To eliminate this concern, we’re aiming our Movement Solutions Spotlight at our 9640 Flange Mounted High Capacity Spring Loaded Ball Transfer Unit.

As with all of our high capacity ball units, the 9640 Omnitrack houses the innovative ‘double recirculation’ internal mechanism which allows the unit to be used at any angle of orientation without any loss in load bearing capacity or quality of movement. A preload of 450 Kg [1000 Lbs] is applied to the spring mechanism so that the 9640 will support a certain load before the springs begin to deflect. Once more load is added, the springs will begin to deflect the main ball 10mm [0.394”] until a load of 960 Kg [2116 Lbs] has been reached & the ball completely hidden inside the solid steel housing. Once the load has been lifted from the transfer units, the ball will once again project 10mm from the housing, ready to convey the item away.

The spring loaded ball units are ideal for the positioning & clamping of heavy tools & dies, as well as ensuring load equalisation for items which have a fluctuating centre or value of mass. The total deflection of the ball also allows these units to be used as safety mechanism in applications where loads over a certain value must not be moved.

The 9640 Omnitrack Spring Loaded Ball Transfer Unit is just one variant of many standard spring loaded solutions & special spring setups are also available on request.
