MBS PickStar RL Components from Robotunits
With the MBS PickStar RL accessory elements, the roller tracks can be individually configured and rollers, brake elements or anti-reverse can be placed where needed in the tracks.
MBS PickStar RL Components Products
Roller Track Application: for roller conveyors, e.g. for - Material flow technology
- Manual workstations
- In- and out-feed conveyors
- Trolleys
- Rolling side guides
Standard length: 250mm Surface resistance per roller track RS < 35 MΩ |  |
Roller Track with Side Guides Application: for roller conveyors, e.g. for - Material flow technology
- Manual workstations
- In- and outfeed conveyors
- Transport carts
Standard length: 250mm Surface resistance per roller track RS < 35MΩ |  |
Tube Clamp Application: Connector for fastening the round tube to the face or T-slot of the extrusion. Toolless opening of the clamping part. Surface resistance per tube holder RS < 35 MΩ |  |
Front Part Application: - Material stop at the beginning or end of the roller conveyor.
- Insertion, removal or transfer aid for roller strips with or without side guide.
Surface resistance per face element RS < 35 MΩ |  |
Brake For Roller Track Application: Slowing down the transported product. Easy retrofitting possible! (Replace: Roller with Brake) Depending on the product (weight, conditions of bottom, etc.) several brakes can be installed. |  |
Anti-Reverse for Roller Track Application: - Material stop at the start or end of the Roller Track
- Prevents product at the back of the shelf from sliding down when the product at the front is removed.
- Fill level indicator via signal color. (visible = empty)
Easy retrofitting possible! (Replace: Roller with Anti-Reverse) |  |
Round Tube 30x2 Application: Universal use, e.g. for - Material flow technology
- Manual workstations
- In- and outfeed conveyors
- Signage and shelving

Q&A Section with Expand/Collapse IconsMBS PickStar RL Components Q & A
+ What are “RL Components” and how do they differ from the full PickStar RL System?
The RL Components are the accessory elements (e.g., roller tracks, brake units, anti-reverse elements) for use within the PickStar RL framework. Whereas the “PickStar RL System” is the complete plug-and-play conveyor solution, the Components allow you to build or customize your own roller track segments and integrate them into your material-flow infrastructure.
+What load capacity do the PickStar RL Components support?
According to Robotunits, the PickStar RL system (and thus the compatible components) supports loads up to 30 kg (≈66 lbs) on the roller tracks, making them suitable for cartons, totes or similar loads in logistics, material-flow or kanban settings.
+ What customization / modularity is offered?
The Components allow individual configuration of roller tracks (lengths, widths), insertion of accessories like brakes or anti-reverse units exactly where needed, side-guides, and choice of ESD-variants. For example: the “Roller Track with Side Guide” (MA_459) can be cut-to‐length in a 35.5 mm grid.
+How do I select the track length, grid or cut-to-length options?
The product lists “standard length: 250 mm” for the MA_459 variant, and also “cut-to‐length” versions (e.g., 108 mm, 143 mm, 178 mm, etc) in a 35.5 mm grid. You would select based on your application footprint and required transport length.
+ What installation or integration considerations are there (inclination, side guide, anti-reverse)?
One example: MA_459 rails allow an inclination angle of about 4°-5° (non-ESD) or 5°-6° (ESD) depending on goods. Anti-reverse and brake elements should be placed where you want to control flow or stop movement. Side-guides are necessary when you transport containers/cartons that might skew.
