Key Benefits
- 200 kg working load and 250 kg maximum load per unit for heavy-duty transfer points
- Press mount design allows quick installation into a prepared hole in the deck plate
- 25.4 mm diameter ball enables smooth movement of flat trays and rigid components
- 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 different angles
- Feeding systems where trays or rigid components must be repositioned by hand
- Processing machinery worktables requiring 360-degree movement of parts
- Packaging machinery auxiliary stations for rotating or aligning flat items
- Assembly line stations where a fixture needs to be turned or shifted without powered drives
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and alignment points into material handling lines
- Industrial equipment builders designing feeding and processing workstations
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing reliable ball transfer units for tray handling
- Assembly line builders requiring consistent load capacity and mounting dimensions
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat items that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Operators struggling to rotate or align a load by hand at the end of a line
- Inconsistent mounting or load capacity when sourcing units from multiple suppliers
- Lack of a single supplier for ball transfer units matching specific shaft, diameter and load requirements
Technical Features
- Customized machined ball and seat for consistent rolling under heavy load
- Press mount design with a 40 mm mounting diameter for secure fit into deck plates
- 25.4 mm diameter ball for compatibility with standard transfer deck systems
- Ball and case materials selected independently to match load and environment
- Compact 40 × 35 mm dimension for tight deck space and high unit density
Materials
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted, polished or sensitive surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use in dry environments
- Stainless steel ball and case (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 200 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 diameter checked to ensure 40 mm fit in deck plate holes
- Unit weight verified at 480 g for shipping and deck load calculations
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel, and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Mounting diameter and height can be adjusted for specific deck plate requirements
- Other models in the FB Series available for different load ratings
- Custom dimensions possible upon request with engineering review
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 200 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 250 kg maximum load rating
- Mount units into a flat deck plate with a 40 mm hole to ensure full contact and even load distribution
- Choose nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked or scratched
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to moisture or cleaning agents

Manufacturing Process
Step 1
Machining of the case and ball seat to precise dimensions
Step 2
Assembly of the ball and support components with proper clearance
Step 3
Press mount hole preparation and finishing for consistent fit
Step 4
Load testing to verify 200 kg working load and 250 kg maximum load
Step 5
Final inspection and packing for shipment
Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount is faster to install but harder to remove; flange mount allows easier service and replacement |
|---|---|
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-012 suits 200 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by smaller units with less rolling resistance |
| Plain rollers | Ball transfer units allow omnidirectional movement, while rollers only move product along one axis |
