What does ‘Shock Loading’ mean?

Omnitrack High Capacity Ball Transfer Units offer High Shock Resistance

‘Shock Loading’ refers to a sudden and drastic increase of load similar to a ‘hammering’ effect.  The most common occurrence is  when a load is dropped onto the ball transfer units from a height or when ball units travel over an uneven surface, causing uneven distribution of load. In these instances, although the load itself may be within the load bearing capabilities of the ball units, the forces involved that are generated by the ‘Shock Loading’ can momentarily increase the load beyond the ratings listed in our catalogue and on our website. This can, therefore, damage certain units and permanently affect their performance and durability.

Fortunately, Omnitrack have solutions for potential and actual ‘Shock Loading’ applications. Our High Capacity Range is specially designed to handle accidental shock loading better than conventional hemispherical ‘cup & ball’ units. For applications where ‘Shock Loading’ is a likely concern, we recommend using our High Capacity Spring Loaded range of Ball Transfer Units – which are available with several material upgrade options to resist the most demanding operating environments and conditions.

2. The second digit of the Omnitrack High Capacity Ball Transfer Units Part Numbers corresponds to the particular Series within the High Capacity Range, as follows

• 0 = Plain Fit
• 1 = Threaded Stud
• 2 = Flange Mounted
• 3 = Flange Socket
• 4 = External Spring Loaded
• 5 = Housed Spring Loaded
• 6 = Flange Socket Spring Loaded
• 7 = Flange Mounted Spring Loaded
• 8 = Tolerance Ring

3. The third digit of the Omnitrack High Capacity Ball Transfer Units Part Numbers corresponds to the diameter of the main ball, as follows:

• 0 = 12,7mm (0.5″) – Variant 1
• 1 = 12,7mm (0.5″) – Variant 2
• 2 = 25,4mm (1.0″) – Variant 1
• 3 = 25,4mm (1.0″) – Variant 2
• 4 = 38,1mm (1.5″)
• 5 = 50,8mm (2.0″)
• 6 = 76,2mm (3.0″)

4. The fourth digit of the Omnitrack High Capacity Ball Transfer Units Part Numbers indicates the specific variant of the previous 3 digits put together.

 5. There are a number of letters that can follow the Omnitrack High Capacity Ball Transfer Units Range Part Numbers to indicate particular material upgrades, as follows:

• No letter = Standard Materials. High grade AISI 52100 chrome steel balls & zinc plated carbon steel housing
• -A = Stainless steel AISI 440 balls but other materials as standard
• -Z = ‘Arduous Conditions’. Stainless steel AISI 440 load bearing internal parts & balls, with ‘anti-oxide’ finish to outer housing.
• -SS = All parts stainless steel. Outer housing AISI 304, load bearing internal parts & balls AISI 440.
• -PB = Phenolic Resin main ball option available with Standard, -Z and -SS material options. Load bearing capabilities dramatically reduced.
