Key Benefits
- 250 kg working load and 300 kg maximum load per unit
- Flange mount with 55 mm diameter base allows secure bolt-on installation
- 30.16 mm ball diameter provides stable rolling under heavy loads
- Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Stainless steel ball and case option suitable for wet or washdown environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
- Feeding systems where flat trays or pallets need to be rotated or repositioned
- Processing machinery with curved work surfaces such as router tables or band saws
- Packaging machinery auxiliary equipment requiring smooth 360-degree movement
- Assembly line stations where a fixture must be turned by hand between operations
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and rotation points
- Material handling equipment builders constructing feeding and processing systems
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
- Assembly line and production line builders requiring consistent load capacity
- Warehouse and logistics automation contractors installing transfer decks
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat loads that jam or bind 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
- Mixed-use decks where a single unit must support both light and heavy items
- Need for a consistent, single-source component instead of assembling from multiple suppliers
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat for low rolling resistance under static load
- Flange mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to worktable or deck
- 30.16 mm diameter ball allows smooth omnidirectional movement
- Case and ball materials selected independently to match environment and surface
- Compact 55 mm diameter base fits standard deck hole patterns
Materials
- Nylon main 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 250 kg working load rating
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel, and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Other models in the NJ LW FB Series available for different load or size requirements
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure each unit stays under 250 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 300 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
- Use nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Use stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to water, cleaning agents, or corrosive substances

Final load check and inspection before packing
Compared With Other Options
| Press fit ball transfer units | Flange mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit units are faster to install but harder to service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-022 suits 250 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by smaller units that roll with less effort |
| Standard roller bearings | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while roller bearings only move product along one axis |
