Key Benefits
- 200 kg working load and 250 kg maximum load per unit for heavy-duty handling
- Stud mount with two screw holes allows secure attachment to a worktable or deck plate
- 30.16 mm diameter ball enables smooth omnidirectional movement of flat loads
- Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Stainless steel ball and case option for use in wet, washdown, or corrosive environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
- Feeding systems where flat trays or components need to be repositioned by hand
- Processing machinery with curved work surfaces requiring 360-degree load movement
- Packaging lines where trays are rotated or aligned at a station
- Assembly lines where a fixture is turned manually between operations
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and alignment points
- Material handling equipment builders constructing feeding and processing tables
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
- Assembly line builders needing consistent, reliable transfer units for manual repositioning
- Manufacturers of processing machinery requiring omnidirectional load movement
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
- Manual repositioning of trays or fixtures that require rotation in any direction
- Inconsistent mounting methods that lead to loose or misaligned units
- Surface damage from steel balls on painted or polished work surfaces
Technical Features
- 30.16 mm diameter main ball allows smooth omnidirectional movement of flat loads
- Stud mount with M16 diameter and two screw holes for secure attachment
- Fine machined ball seat ensures consistent rolling effort under load
- Available with nylon, steel, or stainless steel main ball to match surface requirements
- Case made from steel or stainless steel for durability in dry or wet environments
Materials
- Nylon main ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use in dry environments
- Stainless steel ball and case (SUS304) for wet, washdown, or corrosive conditions
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 200 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 screw hole alignment checked for consistency
- Unit weight verified at 600 g for shipping and deck load calculations
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 mounting requirements
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 200 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 250 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat, rigid deck plate 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 deck is exposed to washdown or moisture

Step 4
Load testing to verify 200 kg working load and 250 kg maximum load
Step 5
Final inspection and packaging
Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount bolts from below and allows easier access to the deck plate, while flange mount fixes from above and may require more deck space |
|---|---|
| Press fit ball transfer units | Stud 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-023 suits 200 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by smaller units with less rolling resistance |
