Key Benefits
- Carries 150 kg per unit in normal service and 200 kg at peak load
- Stud mount with M10 diameter allows secure bolt-on attachment to worktables
- 25.4 mm diameter ball enables smooth omnidirectional movement of flat items
- Available with nylon, steel, or stainless steel ball and steel or stainless steel case
- Compact 45×51 mm dimension fits into tight deck spaces
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at different angles
- Feeding systems in packaging machinery where trays need to be repositioned
- Processing tables where flat components are rotated or aligned by hand
- Assembly line stations requiring manual reorientation of flat parts
- Workbenches in machining or routing systems where tools or fixtures are moved
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and alignment points
- Material handling equipment builders designing feeding and processing tables
- Industrial automation contractors installing modular workstations
- Manufacturers of packaging and processing machinery needing reliable transfer units
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mount type
Problems It Solves
- Flat items like trays jamming when pushed across fixed deck plates
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Manual repositioning of heavy flat components that require rotation
- Inconsistent movement due to mismatched ball diameter or mount type
- Lack of a single supplier for matched ball, case, and mount options
Technical Features
- 25.4 mm diameter ball allows smooth omnidirectional movement of flat items
- Stud mount with M10 diameter provides a secure bolt-on attachment
- Fine machined ball seat ensures consistent rolling under load
- Ball and case materials selected independently for environment and surface protection
- Compact 45×51 mm dimension fits into tight deck spaces without interference
Materials
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial environments
- Stainless steel ball and case (SUS304) for wet, washdown, or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 150 kg working load rating
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Mounting diameter and thread verified to M10 specification
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Unit weight measured at 290 g before packing
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel, and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Mounting stud diameter and thread can be adjusted for different applications
- Other models in the NJ LW FB Series available for different load ratings
- Custom dimensions possible upon request with engineering review
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure no more than 150 kg per unit under normal use
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 200 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat, rigid surface so all balls sit at the same height
- Choose nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to washdown or moisture

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount bolts from below and allows easier access to the deck, while flange mount is bolted from above and may interfere with deck thickness |
|---|---|
| Press fit ball transfer units | Stud mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit is faster to install but harder to service |
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-019 suits 150 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit with lower weight and effort |
