Ball transfer units are available in a wide variety of designs and specifications. However, one of the most important factors affecting their performance is the internal structure. Planeveyor, the ball transfer unit developed by ATEC Co., Ltd., features a unique spherical support structure (PAT.P) that fundamentally changes how loads are supported compared with conventional ball transfer units.

Challenges of Conventional Structures

In conventional ball transfer units, the load is supported by a small number of support balls located directly beneath the main ball. As a result, the load on each support ball becomes significantly higher.
