Part of the NJ LW FB Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- 100 kg working load and 150 kg maximum load per unit for consistent handling of flat, smooth items
- Stud mount with M10 diameter allows secure attachment to worktables and transfer decks
- 25.4 mm (1 inch) ball diameter provides stable rolling under load across flat surfaces
- Nylon, steel, or stainless steel ball options suit different surface protection and environment needs
- Steel or stainless steel case supports use in industrial, washdown, or corrosive environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines where trays must be redirected without powered diverters
- Feeding systems in packaging machinery where flat components need omnidirectional movement
- Processing tables in machining or assembly lines where fixtures are repositioned by hand
- Curved work surfaces on band saws or router tables where continuous movement is required
- Material handling decks where multiple units are used to move trays across a flat surface
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and alignment points into automated lines
- Material handling equipment builders designing feeding and processing tables
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
- Assembly line builders needing reliable, consistent units for fixture repositioning
- Packaging machinery manufacturers requiring omnidirectional movement for tray handling
Problems It Solves
- Flat items like trays jamming or dragging when moved across fixed decks or rollers
- Transfer points that require directional change without powered components or complex mechanisms
- Inconsistent mounting methods that lead to loose or misaligned units during operation
- Surface damage from steel balls on painted or polished worktables
- Lack of a single supplier for ball transfer units with matching load, diameter, and mounting specs
Technical Features
- 25.4 mm diameter ball allows smooth movement of flat, smooth objects like trays
- Stud mount with M10 diameter provides a secure, fixed attachment to worktables
- Fine machined ball seat ensures consistent rolling effort under load
- Two screw holes around the bearing allow solid attachment to the mounting surface
- Overall dimensions of 40 mm diameter by 71 mm height fit standard deck cutouts
Materials
- Nylon 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 (SUS304) ball and case for wet, washdown, or corrosive environments
Quality Control
- Load capacity tested against the 100 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
- Mounting stud diameter and thread verified to M10 specification
- Unit weight measured to ensure 210 g consistency
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel, and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Other models in the FB Series available for different load ratings or mounting types
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 100 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 150 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat, rigid deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
- Use nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Use stainless steel ball and case where the unit is exposed to washdown or corrosive conditions

Step 4
Final inspection of ball rotation and mounting hole alignment
Step 5
Packing with load rating and material options verified
Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount FB-011 is fixed via a threaded stud, while flange mount units are bolted from above; stud mount allows tighter deck integration |
|---|---|
| Press fit ball transfer units | Stud mount provides a more secure and replaceable attachment than a press fit, which can loosen over time |
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-011 suits 100 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by smaller units with less weight and lower cost |
