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

Manufacturing Process

Step 1

Machining of the case and stud base

Step 2

Ball and support ball assembly with precision fit

Step 3

Drilling and threading of the stud for M10 mounting

Step 4

Final inspection of ball rotation and mounting integrity

Step 5

Packing with protective cover for shipping

Compared With Other Options

Flange mount ball transfer unitsStud 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 unitsStud mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit is faster to install but harder to service
Lower rated FB Series unitsThe FB-019 suits 150 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit with lower weight and effort
