Key Benefits
- 80 kg working load and 100 kg maximum load per unit for consistent performance under heavy use
- Stud mount with M8 diameter allows secure attachment to worktables and conveyor decks
- 22 mm ball diameter enables smooth omnidirectional movement of flat, rigid loads
- 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 in a packaging line where trays are rotated or repositioned by hand
- Feeding systems for processing machinery requiring precise load alignment
- Conveyor decks where flat components must be moved in any direction without powered diverters
- Assembly line stations where a fixture needs to be turned or shifted between operations
- Workbenches with curved or angled surfaces where omnidirectional movement is required
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and alignment points into production lines
- Material handling equipment builders designing feeding and processing systems
- Industrial automation contractors installing components in packaging and assembly lines
- Manufacturers of processing machinery needing auxiliary movement points on workbenches
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Loads that jam or bind when pushed across a fixed deck due to lack of omnidirectional movement
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered or mechanical diverters
- Operators struggling to align or rotate heavy trays at the end of a line
- Systems requiring consistent load handling across multiple transfer points with varying surface types
- Mounting challenges where a secure, replaceable attachment method is needed
Technical Features
- 22 mm diameter ball allows smooth, low-friction movement of flat, rigid objects
- Stud mount with M8 diameter provides a secure, bolt-through attachment to the deck
- Omnidirectional ball bearing design enables movement in any direction
- Housing dimensions of 30 x 57 mm allow compact integration into tight spaces
- Two screw holes in the bearing surround ensure solid attachment to the worktable
Materials
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted, polished, or sensitive surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use and high load environments
- Stainless steel (SUS304) ball and case for wet, washdown, or corrosive conditions
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 80 kg working load rating 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 and hole alignment checked for proper fit and strength
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel, and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Mounting stud size and diameter can be adjusted for different deck thicknesses and attachment methods
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure each unit stays under 80 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 100 kg maximum load limit
- Mount the unit 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 or scratched
- Use stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to water, cleaning agents, or corrosive substances

Step 4
Load testing to verify 80 kg working load and 100 kg maximum load
Step 5
Final inspection and packing
Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount allows direct bolt-through attachment to the deck, while flange mount requires a separate flange and is typically used for higher load or service access needs |
|---|---|
| Press fit ball transfer units | Stud mount provides a secure, removable attachment that can be replaced without damaging the deck, unlike press fit units which are harder to service |
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-013 suits 80 kg loads, so lighter applications may be better served by a smaller unit with lower weight and effort |
