Overhead conveyor technology: four reasons for relying on igus® ball bearings

The lubrication-free and maintenance-free qualities are crucial for ensuring efficient material handling in overhead conveyor technology. A trouble-free warehouse management process is based on resilient components. xiros ball bearings are ideal for the specific requirements of the industry and its various branches. The flexible and lightweight plastic ball bearings, which require only a small amount of installation space, are suitable for a wide range of applications (chain conveyors, power and free conveyors, circular conveyors or even bag sorters/ pouch sorters). In overhead conveying systems, xiros ball bearings can be used directly as track rollers, which can be optimally adapted to the respective roller carrier system. This helps realise transport weights of up to 5kg/extender crossbar and speeds of up to 1,000rpm. Laundries, for example, can use the lubrication-free plastic for safe, clean and sustainable transport.
