Transport system for pallets carrying goods - has motor-driven ball bearings underneath for easy movement over transport paths without friction resistance

摘要

Each pallet has a flat top surface to support the goods. On the underside of the pallet there are rolling ball bearings (3), acting as small dia. road or rail wheels. Each pallet (1) has at least one drive motor (4) with a drive friction wheel (5) and each friction wheel drives the outer ring (6) of each ball bearing (3). The contact pressure between the drive friction wheel and outer ring of the bearing can be accurately set, and each outer ring runs on one or two circular section rails (2). The outer bearing rings have cylindrical running surfaces. USE/ADVANTAGE - Easy smooth movement of pallets without large drive mechanisms, using small dia. running wheels.
