Robust transport-technology solutions from KIPP

High-load-capacity ball rollers for use in conveyor systems, load transporting and mechanical engineering

KIPP now offers a range of load-bearing ball rollers for the transporting of individual items on conveyor and feed systems. They form – together with the corresponding ring nuts, lifting screws and eyebolts – our new “conveying technology” range.

These load-bearing rollers are supplied with housings made of galvanized or stainless sheet-steel. Spacer rings, which likewise form part of the range, can be used to aid installation, by being placed between the support plate and the ball-roller housing. As an alternative, we also offer housings with integrated spring-loaded jaws or attachment holes.

KIPP offers compatible solutions for an extremely wide field of applications, with ball-roller load capacities ranging from 600 N to 15,000 N. The version equipped with plastic ball-rollers can handle loads of between 100 N and 250 N. These components can handle conveyor speeds of up to 1 m/s without difficulty (0.25 m/s for the polyamide-ball version).

Please refer to the KIPP catalogue and website for appropriate advice and planning help regarding installation, load calculations, configuration, conveyor speeds, unit capacity, durability and temperature resistance.

Our new conveyor technology range includes various items of load-handling equipment, in addition to our ball rollers. Extra-strength, rotating lifting screws (with or without hexagonal wrench) for high-specification, safety-crucial load handling – including units that rotate laterally through 90° - are available for these purposes. The integrated hexagon-socket bolt is locked to prevent it falling out.

The plastic-coated, forged steel rings have been subjected to 100% electromagnetic crack-testing in accordance with EN 1677-4. Strength class 10.9 is compatible with a load-bearing capacity of between 400 kg and 4.5 metric tons.
