Ball transfer unit benefits from in-house solution

Our ball transfer unit portfolio is growing. New in the product range: the plastic sliding ball transfer unit. The stainless-steel balls previously used in our ball transfer units are replaced by a sliding insert made of the in-house iglidur J3B. The stainless-steel support ball no longer runs on support balls as in previous versions, but on the sliding insert. But why opt for iglidur J3B? Our material is characterised by its special wear resistance, low coefficients of friction, good media resistance and low moisture absorption.
