Key Benefits
- Rated for 400 kg working load and 500 kg maximum load per unit
- Press mount design allows secure installation into a prepared deck plate
- 50 mm diameter ball enables smooth transfer of flat, rigid items
- Two mounting holes around the bearing allow firm attachment to worktables
- Available in carbon steel or stainless steel case and multiple ball materials for different environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points in automated feeding systems where trays or rigid components must be moved in any direction
- Workstations on assembly lines requiring manual repositioning of flat parts
- Processing machinery where a flat object needs to be rotated or shifted without powered guidance
- Packaging lines where trays are aligned or reoriented between stations
- Router tables and band saw setups requiring 360-degree movement of workpieces
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building high-load transfer zones
- Industrial equipment builders requiring custom ball transfer units for machine tables
- Assembly line designers needing manual repositioning points for heavy flat components
- Packaging machinery manufacturers integrating omnidirectional transfer into feed systems
- Material handling equipment makers sourcing units with specific mounting and load requirements
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat loads that cannot be moved easily across a fixed deck due to friction or alignment issues
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters or complex mechanisms
- Worktables where rigid components need to be repositioned by hand without jamming
- Systems requiring consistent load capacity across multiple transfer units without mismatched ratings
- Mounting challenges where a secure, non-rotating attachment is needed on a flat surface
Technical Features
- Omni-directional spherical ball inside a restraining fixture for 360-degree movement
- 50 mm diameter ball for handling larger flat items with stable contact
- Press mount design with 75 mm mounting diameter for secure fit into a deck plate
- Two threaded holes around the bearing for solid attachment to work surfaces
- Compact dimensions of 114 mm diameter by 61.8 mm height for integration into tight spaces
Materials
- Carbon steel case and ball for general industrial use and high load capacity
- Stainless steel case and ball (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 400 kg working load rating
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Mounting hole alignment confirmed to match the 75 mm press fit diameter
- Material grade verified against the case and ball option ordered
- Unit weight checked to ensure it matches the 2.62 kg specification
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, carbon steel, and stainless steel
- Case material selected between carbon steel and stainless steel (SUS304)
- Mounting diameter and height can be adjusted to match existing deck specifications
- Other load ratings available upon request for different application needs
Use Guide
- Ensure the deck plate has a 75 mm diameter hole for press mounting
- Check that the load per unit does not exceed 400 kg under normal operation
- Keep peak or impact loads below the 500 kg maximum capacity
- Use nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Use stainless steel case and ball in wet or washdown environments

Drilling and threading of two mounting holes around the bearing
Step 4
Final inspection of press fit and mounting hole alignment
Step 5
Weight and load verification before packing
Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount units are installed by pressing into a hole and are fixed in place, while flange mount units are bolted from above and allow easier removal for maintenance |
|---|---|
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-007 suits 400 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Standard press fit ball transfer units | The FB-007 includes two mounting holes for secure attachment, while standard press fit units rely only on friction and may loosen over time |
