26 Series Tuff  Base Fixing Medium Load Ball Transfer Unit


The "Tuff Series Base Fixing Medium Load Ball Transfer Unit" is a robust, versatile omni-directional material handling component designed for reliable performance in general industrial applications. The name itself points to its key characteristics:

  • "Tuff Series": Indicates a product line built for durability and longevity in tough workshop and factory environments.

  • "Base Fixing": Specifies that it has a flat, flanged base with pre-drilled holes for secure and straightforward bolting onto a surface.

  • "Medium Load": Defines its capacity range, situated between light-duty plastic units and heavy-duty spring-loaded units, typically handling loads from tens of kilograms up to several hundred kilograms per unit.

  • "Ball Transfer Unit": The core component—a ball seated in a housing that allows for low-friction movement in any horizontal direction.


Key Features

This unit is engineered for a balance of performance, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness.


1. Durable Construction

  • Feature: The housing is typically made from pressed steel, machined steel, or cast iron, providing a strong and rigid structure. The load-bearing ball is made of hardened chrome steel for high wear resistance and smooth operation.

  • Benefit: Withstands the physical knocks, abrasion, and constant use of a typical industrial setting, offering a long service life.


2. Base Fixing (Flange Mounting)

  • Feature: The unit features a flat, circular or square base with two or more bolt holes. This allows it to be securely fastened to a surface using standard bolts or screws.

  • Benefit: This is the most common and simplest mounting method. It provides excellent stability, prevents the unit from rotating under side loads, and makes installation and replacement quick and easy.


3. Medium Load Capacity

  • Feature: Designed with a bearing geometry and materials that support a significant but not extreme weight range. Capacities are clearly defined in the product specifications (e.g., 150kg, 250kg, 500kg per unit).

  • Benefit: Ideal for the vast majority of everyday material handling tasks without the over-engineering and cost of a heavy-duty unit. Allows for right-sizing the component to the application.


4. Smooth Omni-Directional Movement

  • Feature: The large main ball rotates on a bed of smaller, precision-made ball bearings contained within the housing. This creates smooth, low-friction movement in any direction.

  • Benefit: Allows operators to easily push, rotate, and position loads with minimal effort, increasing efficiency and reducing worker fatigue.


5. Integrated Sealing

  • Feature: Most units in this category include rubber or synthetic seals around the main ball. These are often labyrinth-style or lip seals.

  • Benefit: Protects the internal ball bearing mechanism from dust, dirt, chips, and other contaminants. This prevents premature failure and ensures consistent performance, making it suitable for environments like woodshops or metal fabrication shops.


6. Pre-Lubricated and Low Maintenance

  • Feature: These units are typically filled with grease at the factory, providing sufficient lubrication for their entire service life under normal operating conditions.

  • Benefit: Requires no regular maintenance, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.

Applications

The Tuff Series Medium Load unit is one of the most common types found in industry due to its versatility. Its applications are widespread wherever loads need to be moved, positioned, or transferred manually.


1. Ball Transfer Tables

  • Use Case: An array of these units is mounted flush on a steel tabletop to create a multi-directional transfer surface.

  • Why it's used: Allows operators to easily change the direction of boxes, cartons, totes, or fabricated parts between conveyor lines or workstations.


2. Conveyor Line Transfer Points

  • Use Case: Used at the end of a roller or belt conveyor to facilitate the manual transfer of products onto another line, a pallet, or a staging area.

  • Why it's used: Provides the flexibility to move items sideways or off-axis without needing a powered conveyor in every direction.


3. Packaging and Assembly Stations

  • Use Case: Mounted on workbenches or assembly jigs to allow workers to easily rotate and position components.

  • Why it's used: Increases ergonomics and productivity by allowing easy access to all sides of a product without heavy lifting.


4. Load Alignment and Positioning

  • Use Case: Used in machinery loading areas to help slide heavy items like machine tools, fixtures, or pallets into their precise final position.

  • Why it's used: The omni-directional movement makes fine adjustments simple and precise.


5. Sliding Door and Gate Mechanisms

  • Use Case: Supporting the weight of heavy industrial sliding doors or gates, allowing them to slide open smoothly.

  • Why it's used: The ball transfer unit handles the load while minimizing friction.



Comparison with Other Ball Transfer Units

Feature Tuff Series (Base Fix, Medium Load) Spring-Loaded Heavy Unit Light-Duty Plastic Unit
Mounting Bolted Flange Base Threaded Stud or Heavy Base Various, often lighter base
Load Capacity Medium (e.g., 100-500 kg) Very High (500kg+) Low (<100 kg)
Shock Absorption No Yes (Spring-Loaded) No
Durability High (Steel Construction) Very High Moderate
Primary Use General industrial positioning, transfer tables Heavy machinery, aerospace, uneven loads Light packaging, non-industrial settings


In summary, the Tuff Series Base Fixing Medium Load Ball Transfer Unit is the dependable workhorse of the omni-directional material handling world. Its combination of a simple and secure mounting system, robust steel construction, and defined medium-load capacity makes it an ideal, cost-effective solution for a vast range of applications in manufacturing, warehousing, and assembly. It is the go-to choice when you need reliable, low-friction movement for loads that are substantial but do not require the extreme capacity or shock-absorption of a specialized heavy-duty unit.
