Key Benefits
- 300 kg working load and 350 kg maximum load for heavy-duty handling
- Flange mount with 120×45 mm diameter allows secure attachment to deck plates
- 45 mm diameter ball enables smooth movement of large flat items like trays
- Nylon, steel or stainless steel ball options suit different surface and environment needs
- Steel or stainless steel case provides durability in industrial and washdown environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
- Loading tables for heavy flat components in assembly or packaging lines
- Feeding systems where trays or panels need to be rotated or repositioned by hand
- Processing machinery auxiliary stations requiring 360-degree movement of flat parts
- Curved work areas on band saws or router tables where directional control is needed
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building high-load transfer and rotation points
- Material handling equipment builders designing heavy-duty transfer tables
- Assembly line builders requiring stable, omni-directional movement of flat components
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating and mounting type
- Production line engineers sourcing components that match existing tube and shaft dimensions
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat loads that jam or bind when moved across fixed deck plates
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Operators struggling to rotate or align heavy trays or panels by hand
- Mismatched components from multiple suppliers that do not align on shaft size or load rating
- Lack of consistent load capacity and mounting dimensions across a single product range
Technical Features
- Fine machined 45 mm diameter ball for consistent rolling under heavy static load
- Flange mount with 120×45 mm mounting diameter for secure, bolt-on installation
- Main ball available in nylon, steel or stainless steel to suit surface and environment
- Case available in steel or stainless steel for dry or wet industrial environments
- Unit weight of 2.8 kg for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Nylon main ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use and high load capacity
- Stainless steel ball and case (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 300 kg working load before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Flange mounting surface inspected for flatness and alignment
- Unit weight verified at 2.8 kg for shipping and deck load planning
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Mounting diameter and flange configuration available in custom sizes upon request
- Other load ratings available in the FB Series where 300 kg is not the right size
- Dimensions and mounting holes can be adjusted to match existing system designs
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 300 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 350 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat, rigid deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
- Choose nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked or damaged
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to washdown or corrosive conditions

Final inspection and packaging for export
Compared With Other Options
| Press fit ball transfer units | Flange mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit units are faster to install but harder to service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-010 suits 300 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by smaller units that roll with less effort |
| Plain conveyor rollers | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis |
Customized Mahcined Ball Transfer Unit FB-010 Questions
What load can one FB-010 ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 300 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 350 kg.
How is the FB-010 mounted?
It is a flange mount unit with a 120×45 mm mounting diameter, so it is bolted through the flange onto the deck plate.
Which ball material should I choose?
Nylon for surfaces that must not be marked, carbon steel for general use, and stainless steel for wet or washdown areas.
Is a stainless steel version available?
Yes, both the ball and the case can be supplied in stainless steel (SUS304).
How much does the unit weigh?
Each FB-010 weighs 2.8 kg, which is used for deck load and shipping calculations.
Can I get other load ratings in the same series?
Yes, the FB Series covers other load ratings, so ask for the model that matches your load per unit.
