Key Benefits
- Carries 10 kg per unit in normal service and 15 kg at peak load
- Stud mount with two screw holes allows secure attachment to worktables and benches
- 10 mm diameter ball enables smooth movement of flat, smooth objects like trays
- Nylon ball option protects delicate surfaces from marking or scratching
- Stainless steel ball and case option for use in wet or corrosive environments
Application Scenarios
- Conveyor transfer points where trays or flat components need to be rotated or repositioned by hand
- Assembly line stations requiring manual alignment of flat parts on a workbench
- Packaging machinery where flat items are fed and turned between processing steps
- Processing tables where components are moved in any direction without powered guidance
- Feeding systems for automated machines handling flat, rigid parts
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building manual transfer or alignment points
- Industrial equipment builders designing workbenches with omnidirectional movement
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing low-load transfer units
- Assembly line builders integrating manual positioning into production flow
- Industrial distributors stocking small load ball transfer units by model and load
Problems It Solves
- Flat items that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed surface due to lack of omnidirectional movement
- Manual alignment points that require excessive force to rotate or shift a load
- Workbenches where components must be repositioned without powered diverters
- Systems where a single load rating must handle multiple small, flat items
- Workstations where surface protection is needed to avoid marking painted or polished parts
Technical Features
- 10 mm diameter ball for handling small, flat, smooth objects like trays
- Stud mount with M16 diameter and two screw holes for secure attachment
- Fine machined ball seat ensures consistent rolling effort under load
- Ball and case materials selected independently to suit the environment and surface
- Compact size of 19 × 20 mm (Diameter × Height) for tight space integration
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 10 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 checked for M16 specification
- Unit weight verified at 70 g for shipping and deck load calculation
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 styles
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure the 10 kg per unit rating is not exceeded
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 15 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat, rigid surface so all balls sit at the same height
- Choose the nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the workbench is exposed to moisture or cleaning

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount is designed for direct attachment to a worktable with screws, while flange mount bolts from above and is used in deck plates |
|---|---|
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-014 suits 10 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Standard roller bearings | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while roller bearings only move product along one axis |
